See before Sunderland I was a lot like you, I really wanted Cleverley to kick on and really thought under LvG he would flourish. However, I just think he's quite a limited player who's spent a lot of his time trying to find where he could play to his fullest at a top club but it just hasn't happened.
9 million is good business for us i think. Be a good price if its true.
Yes, I'd like a bit of clarification on why the tag has been removed from the thread.
Utter garbage.
So he can "pass the ball sideways, keep possession and get clapped"?
ETA: No clue where that gif is from, Don, but love the 'the feck OUT!' whiteboard. Having said that, he's welcome to stay as far as I'm concerned. I just don't think he will.
Can't have a laugh, can we? Don't be so dramatic, I'm sure Don's just taking the piss.
Of all the useless, money wasting, parasitic, clueless, ineffective, responsibility shirking, mouth breathers we have at the club, he is the worst.
There is a line between 'having a laugh' and being downright disrespectful. Is this what fans fans find funny these days? Telling their own teams players to 'get the feck out'. Maybe I am just old school and like a bit of wit in my humour.
You utter embarrassment.
That horrible TV programme with those boring pretty boys? Well, at least they had a good moment.
Keep your hair on. I've always liked Cleverley as a player, I'm so sad to see him stagnate, I want him to move throught the fear and play as I know he's capable of playing.
What a dramatic idiot you are, they were obviously joking. Why are you on a internet forum if you can't bear such things? Is every single post of yours from now on going to be a insult/rant about someone?
I don't think I was personally insulting you, I agree and I think there are many who want him to succeed, there is only one way he can though and that is game time, confidence, goals and actually getting stuck in. I am all for saying he's down at the moment and even that the future is quite bleak but laying the boot in and blindly abusing him and saying he'll never succeed and he'll never be good enough is just embarrassing. The fans are putting themselves in a position where if he does go on to turn it all around - what then? They back pedal and say 'it was all a bit of fun, you know?..' or something. The jokes are one thing but the abuse is unnecessary.
"Is Tom wanted by the club and is he getting a contract extension? What is the future for our client?" I may be firing wide of the mark here.. But that could be a possibility.Also, hear rumours that his people had approached the club for a contract extension and pay rise. What were they thinking?
Nah, I wasn't joking. I will likely do a small dance of celebration when Cleverley leaves the club, the goddamn scrounger/professional footballer impersonator. Sentimentalists who think every fecking player who walks through the doors of OT deserves 100000 chances are what's filled our squad with dross. GET. RID.
I am not seeing the meltdown to be honest. Utterance of the word 'utterly' has been noted.
Thats greatAlright, that was pretty funny. I am in fact, Cleverley's long lost father.
fecking hell I just realized Cleverley only has a year left on his contract. If he had 3 years or so I wouldn't expect us to get more then 5m, how the feck have we managed to get 9m for Tom Cleverley with just 1 year left on his contract??
Yes but 1 year left on his contract you'd think hed go for a lot less. We got Kagawa for like 12m, van Persie for 24m and Madrid got kroos for 25m. The latter 2 are players who normally would go for 40m + but went for 15m less pretty much.
