Tom Cleverley


Recommended Posts

If you think Tom Cleverley is a direct replacement "out wide" for Steven Pienaar you're a loaf. He's not a wide player anywhere in football!

Pienaar isn't really a wide player either. He's more a no 10 type who Moyes made a left midfielder.

 

Cleverley played his best football at Wigan on the left.

Thats all I've got to go on really

 

Still think he would be a useful addition to us...

The match report on Arsenal v Villa in the Telegraph said '(Villa's) central midfield was a wasteland........and Lambert's decision to start Westwood on the bench backfired. Tom Cleverley was anonymous.' I think that sums up Cleverley's career. Don't even want him as a squad player.

I suppose on a free its low risk, assuming he wont be on daft wages, but its not something I can get excited about

 

I was speaking to a Villa fan about him and the general consensus is that they are not arsed if they get him or not. He has been very average for them and hasn't nailed down a regular starting place

 

Part of me remembers how good he was for Wigan and thinks there must be a good player in there somewhere and the fact Roberto has been chasing him so long means he must rate him, but then again he pursued McGeady for a long time as well

He's been average for Villa because he's average in every department. There's nothing, absolutely nothing, that he excels at.

There was an interesting stat a few seasons back (or was it last season, can't remember). It showed how much quicker United's passing was when Cleverley was playing. The difference was so big it couldn't have been a coincidence. I can't find that page any more, unfortunately.
