Stupid thing to say really by him.

It was not penetrating decisive passing that puts teams under pressure.

LVG is doing what should have been done two years ago.

I take it as a huge positive.

On the Cleverley sale, surely there is someone coming in then? I mean there is no one left to play in midfield otherwise!

Erm....

Hi Daniel,

I hope I find you well today. I was flicking through our archived trialists documents, and noticed you had a brief spell with the club at in the early 00's.

Are you free for a quick call?

Kind regards,

Ed Woodward

P.S. If your not available, would you mind forwarding this onto to any blokes you know who are handy?

Did you see the MK Dons game? Powell was one of the worst players on the pitch.

So was Evans and I'll be pissed if he's not playing the next game. Is Herrera not nearly fit?

Fletcher and Fellaini to play against Burnley so

Fellaini out for 2-3 weeks, Wilmots was saying today

No he is expected out for another 2-4 weeks.

LostBoy101

Herrera should be back for Saturday, no?

TheDoc

So did LVG just tell players he doesn't want today? Thought he told them a while back no? Or was today a "gtfo"

Think LVG said in presser out injured.

Maximus Alexander

Who's left? Amos and Welbeck in midfield?

Rayne Wooney

One man midfield it is so

Maximus Alexander

Hang on a second, it's not too late to register Giggs and Scholes for the season!

KH25

Fletch and Ando for midfield?

I remember when we played Rafael in midfield against one of Burnleys main rivals and things went well. we should give that another go ;-)

No two...Fletcher and ADM

Zaha has gone on loan. Don't think he will be back next year either after the loan spell. I don't see anything on the Sky Sports website about Cleverly. If its true it will be like a new signing. Finally we are getting the cleaver out.

I think he said after lunch they were told.

KH25

I think it's fair to say Blind would definitely be a good shout now, if nothing else to replace Cleverley in the squad. (And as backup for Vidal )

he tweeted a while ago himself that he was back at palace but then deleted it

The impression I got was that he had a chat with them previously, possibly a warning that they need to impress him fast. Today's comments seem to suggest that he followed it up with a "You're fired" today.

"I only buy players that can improve our philosophy…(also) I can change the system with him and maybe we will do that in future. Maybe even during a match. He played at Real Madrid not only as a wide wing player but also in midfield. This is why we are convinced he shall succeed."

ADM7 to play in mid field Sunday (and maybe for the foreseeable) I’d say.

I still reckon TC23 will refuse Villa and run his contract down – no way Villa will pay him 70k a week on top of the 9M they give United – unless of course Roy is launching a charm offensive “See what I did with Liam Miller”

Fxuk sake. Shouldn't have got "Cleverley 23" on my new jersey.....

Bit short notice to move them on is it? Must have been some preliminary **** in the works.

KH25

Cleverley would be very stupid to run his contract down and barely play. He might as well say bye bye to any chance he has of getting back into the England team.

NeVeR

Have to say... if he is going to Villa they paid about €27 million to much for him !!

TheDoc

If anyone wants a sober reality check, CL draw is happening....Liverpool mates are being really sound letting me know, every minutes, via text.

Hank Scorpio

Cleverley will be scared sh1tless of Keane you'd have to imagine

Copper_pipe

BREAKING - Aston Villa agree an £8M fee with Manchester United for Tom Cleverley.

Apparently Manchester United will pay it in installments.

Don't get too down about it, there's always the chance that they'll be completely shown up and we can have a snigger behind our hands like they always do.

Its one of the most spot on I’ve read in a while.

Ogden won’t be on Fergie and Gill’s Christmas card list.

Any chance you will go out and buy a chicharito,Welbeck and sure while you are at fellaini jersey too?? I'm sure we will all chip... :cool:

Backstreet Moyes

Don't see the delight with Cleverley going as bad as he is we only have one fit midfielder for Saturday.

TheDoc

Oh lads nearly forgot to mention. Paddy Power profits announced 20% decrease this morning. Have reached out to Ed Woodward for advice .

MagicIRL

I've learned a lot from this UEFA stream.

1) Real Madrid have had some beautiful, simple, jerseys over the years.

2) Cringe.

3) There are some awful teams in the Champions League. How the feck do Zenit keep qualifying? Atrocious!

An agreement has been met between United and Dortmund for the transfer of Shinji Kagawa.

xtal191

Yeah there does seem to be a lot of poor teams in it this season.

redbaron_99

You would have to think there are a couple of players imminent. Cleverley, Zaha gone. Chico, Welbeck and Kagawa looking very likely to go soon.

Fletcher is the only fit midfielder we have for the Burnley match ....:eek::(

Bar Kagawa. I love Shinji.

He was a shockingly poor player who may even struggle at Villa but got lots of first team starts for UTD. Everythime he played we looked like muck and was an annoyance.

Whats not to be happy about?
