I don't think anyone's disappointed from a footballing perspective.

And he's from Bradford anyway isn't he? In fact I am pretty sure he didn't just screw us out of any fee for him yesterday, but he screwed Bradford City out of about seven or eight hundred-grand, as they held a 10% sell-on clause I think.

Far more of a loss for them than us.
If that 10% is true, that's shit. That kind of money would have actually helped Bradford.
 
Two academy products offloaded in two days. Manchester United has truly lost it's soul.

Any biters?
 
all ill say for the lad is, theres no reason why he cant reach the level somebody like henderson is at. he can still do it if he wants it.
 
Glad he's not gone to Everton as they are potential top 4 rivals and already strong.

Good luck Clevz! Prove me wrong please

Henderson has far bigger balls than Clevz - metaphorically speaking of course.
 
So we turned down a £5m bid from Everton to send him on loan to Villa for little or no fee. It sounds as though Woody is still pissed at Everton for the Fellaini deal last year.
 
Best of luck to him.

We're not going to see that agreed figure paid for him in January obviously, but I suppose a loan fee (hopefully) is better than what we were looking at this morning.
 
Delighted for him...and the team. Seriously though it's a shame it didn't work out for him here but I think he can still do a great job for a team like Villa.
 
I'm pretty sure Fergie won't be best pleased atm, he persisted with Cleverley and Welbeck for so long ensuring they had gained the correct experience before being brought into the first team setup, both have now gone inside 2 days. Good luck to them both, can't say I agree with the Welbeck deal.
 
I feel like the hatred/ill feeling towards Cleverley comes from the clubs perennial lack of addressing the central midfield positions after Keane left and Scholes retired twice (I'm not including the current management structure in that). In the same way Fellaini sums up everything that was hated about the Moyes era, Cleverley represents a long period where our club has settled with mediocrity and failed to address vital positions within the team. As a result fans annoyance at the club for not sorting out the problems gets directed towards the players that symbolise it.

Well our midfield got ran over by weaker opponents week in week out for years, and Cleverley does represent large part of it.
 
We'll hardly be in a position to demand a large fee.
I wasn't talking about a larger fee. I was wondering why either Everton or Villa would want to pay anything for him if he has less than 12 months left on his contract?

Excellent. Everton can feck off after ripping us off with Fellaini. Pay the asking price or do one!
 
Good luck Tom!

Have to say though, I'll be much calmer about the potential team sheets now. Seeing his name on it never filled me with confidence. Now if we can just offload Young, Valencia, Ando and Fletcher sooner rather than later, the worries will be completely gone.
 
Happy for Tom, I think this is a good deal for all parties. Hopefully he can gain the confidence that has so obviously been lacking in his game there and rebuild a reputation as a Premier League level midfielder.

Best of luck to him.
 
Keane is at Villa => I like Villa.
Happy they got the player they wanted over Everton.
 
He is going there for a free next summer, which is worse.
Yeah but it's out of our hands then. We agreed a £8 million deal with Hull and Villa but Cleverley refused to move, prompting Everton to try and steal him on a loan or a cheaper fee. In the end he moved on loan anyway!
 
Good luck to him, I don't understand the bickering about his loan move. If he goes on a free next year, it'll help his salary as well. He's been at this club since he was a kid and surely he deserves a good contract next up?
 
Best of luck to him. If he attempts to resurrect his ridiculous "TC23" personal brand though he can get to feck.
 
Bye Tom, best of luck. Can we loan out Fellaini too now..
 
Unlike Danny, I can hope that this goes well for him without a hint of cognitive dissonance. He can help Villa against all our rivals, they won't pose any meaningful threat to our prospects of CL football and maybe, just maybe, he can resurrect his United career. If only football was always this simple.

No there was talk about us rejecting a £5m bid from Everton. Something is better than nothing in this case.
 
Don't know how you've come to that conclusion. A loan deal couldn't happen without his cooperation.

The club didn't want a loan deal, it was late in the day when he decided he wasn't going to permanently transfer.

In the end they got rid regardless, and let him effectively go for free, in January he can sign a pre contract agreement with whoever and that will be that.

:lol:. Did you say that when we sold Richardson.

Good luck Clever's hope he turns into a seasoned prem pro.
