TBF hes not good enough for United but hes got a good attitude and tried his best for a club he genuinely loves.
Its always sad to see one of your most promising young players to break into the first team leave after not achieving what he could have
Yes, at the WC and he's definitely lacking something very important - pace. Which we already lack in our game.
Yes, but unfortunately that's not enough for a big club like United. I feel sad for players like Rossi, Pogba (and now probably Welbeck) for example from recent memory, who had also a genuine ability, but I get the local lad angle.
Yeah, he never reached his early season heights for the rest of that year but he was still decent and reliable in midfield. He's just been aberage since then. I don't even think he's necessarily been a bad player for us in the way Fellaini has been, he's just been average and hasn't made an impact most of the time when he's featured.
Villa fans have their say
I know a lot of Villa fans and they have been slating the likes of Cleverley and Welbeck for the past few years. Always moaning and blaming them whenever Ingerland lose or if they get in the squad ahead of the likes of the almighty Fabian Delph. It's a shame that Cleverley will be leaving having not reached the heights that we expected but I will find it absolutely hilarious if he ends up at Villa.
Hell no. I thought he was decent when he broke into the first team in 2011 but he has never pushed on since then. I've wanted him gone for the last two years.
Somebody tell them theyve ha already signed shitter players than him, didn't they sign Joe cole, Senderos and some other useless players on free and they are still crying over him they should be thanking us.
Of course, you didn't cherry pick those that reflect your own view?
Aren't england international automatically like 20m? Wtf
And that was just Roy Keane's reaction
Cleverley would be better going to Everton or Hull if he could, Villa have turned into an absolute shit Football Club with a shit Manager as well.
I've warned you several times in this thread about the Villa support. Certainly nothing personal against Cleverley, and I'm sure they'll get behind him come match day.
It's just their idiom. If one of them won the lottery they'd go 'Bastard luck! Now I'll have to drink myself to death and talk to lots of fit birds rather than sit around and mope about Villa 24/7.'
He did score against them last season too... Goes to show how little people outside of United think of Tclevz. Must hurt seeing your team overpay for rubbish English players. The same player in Spain moves for next to nothing every season, literally.
I don't think that's true at all and I've been saying it on here for a while. I think Cleverly got the benefit of the doubt from fans over Fellaini because he was an academy prospect, wasn't lanky with an afro and didn't cost £27m. In terms of actual performance he's been no better, if not worse than Fellaini.
SSN just spoke about players that we could be selling but only spoke about Welbeck and Hernandez. Strange that there was no mention of Cleverley.
Good God....I'm not even going to respond to that
They are just taking the piss. Deep down Villa fans know that they will get getting a stable player in their ranks in Cleverly. Also, I am sure he will see better days there out of the need to prove himself again after having failed here. He will turn out to be a decent signing.
You have?!
Spot on. They are the most miserable set of fans in the whole of English football.+ 1. I'm wondering where the SSN bit is coming from?? Has this actually been confirmed or is it a windup?
If he's another Hargreaves i'd rather we take a chance on Carvalho
Have to disagree with you mate, Fellaini shows time after time that he cant play in midfield. He doesnt pick up runners and doesnt seem to know where to play because he takes up some awkward positions - at least Cleverley had some sort of awareness about what his job in the midfield was.
I fully agree - you wont hear me complain about losing Cleverley but all i am saying is i understand why some people here are a little sad to see him go.
He's better than the likes of Delph for rucks sake.
I know it's fashionable to pretend some of our players are garbage and couldn't get in anyone's teams, but they're not here by accident.
Did you see the interview with Zaha in his car? He had rap music blaring out as he's answering questions, he looked like a right cnut.
Not you personally, 'you' as in 'the general Caftard'. I've just brought up their relentless negativity because it's fun to share the pain and annoy my fella the Villa supporter.
From the horses mouth to your ear: They're so giddy you can not believe it.
How upset he's going to be when he finds out it's actually £9m.
Villa fans still hate us for 1993.
I know this because I live just outside Birmingham.Not you personally, 'you' as in 'the general Caftard'. I've just brought up their relentless negativity because it's fun to share the pain and annoy my fella the Villa supporter.

Ah that makes much more sense now
Well Welbeck if he moves will also be getting more money than he is earning now. And he knows that. But if you are a so called academy product and a Manchester boy through and through, why don't you stay and fight for your place? And you don't think Welbeck will stay if we double his wages tomorrow? It will be more than he will be earning at a different club. It is about the money for all footballers but they are not open about it because they will be frowned upon.
There is going to be a serious meltdown on here if this ends up being a lie
To be fair, Villa fans have been burnt before by signing players with a great future behind them (Stephen Ireland). He may turn out to be a decent buy but I can understand their misgivings as, after 3 years as a first team player here, I am still not sure what exactly he brings to the table.
And the rest. How much did the southampton bruiser got to the scouse for again? Welbeck is twice the player lambert is.
Of all our players having trouble with form, Welbeck is the one I want to stay, he still has it in him to be top class. Hernandez would be the one I'd like to make room for Wilson of our strikers/
SSN will probably mention it later when the script gets updated.
That O'Rourke guy from SSN tweeted it.
Always a shame to see a home-grown player go, after failing in the first team, especially since Cleverley was developing really well for a while. I think it's a good move though, for all involved parties. If it turns out to be true, of course.

Fellaini had a few decent performances in midfield last season against the cannon fodder. Most of them were away games too. As a squad player, I think that he could be more useful than Cleverly ever was. At least he's proven that he can score goals at Everton. Cleverly has little to no redeeming qualities apart from 'keeping things ticking'. In other words, passing the ball to the player next to him repeatedly and trying nothing else of note. One of the most cowardly players I've ever seen play for us.
However I still want Fellaini sold too ASAP.
Considering his place in the squad and the limited number of games United will play this season, Cleverly needed to move on for his own career. So i wish him all the best, and his place can be taken by a member of the reserves.
Good deal for both player and club.
Good deal for both player and club.
Plenty of papers running with it so it probably is legit. As for the Sky Sports story one of their reporters tweeted that the bid was accepted. It is a legit account so it's a bit strange that there is nothing on SSN or their website.
I thought that too. You would think that when he knew he was about to be interviewed on tv that he would turn down the radio for a few minutes!I feel their pain. Cleverley is worse than the players you mentioned (seriously you think Joe Cole was a useless player? An injured and finished Cole was still better than TC). They are simply saying the same things United fans have been saying about Cleverley. We should be thanking them for actually offering to pay for that crappy ass player.
