David28 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Cleverly on loan: http://www.manchesterunited.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=203871 Am a bit wary about this deal. Old bacon face will probably expect Newcastle to give him Haris Vuckic for nowt to show their thanks and appreciation for lending Cleverley. My problem with that deal is that I know that Hughton will play Cleverly all the time like he did with Simpson as well. Is Cleverly that good? I haven't seen him play a lot tbh, but I don't think he'd be better than a fully fit Barton or Guthrie. He's comfortably better then both of them. That's ok then. Let's sign him.

Guest firetotheworks Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I rate McFadden, but pretty much every fan of every club he's ever played for says the same thing. He's massively hit and miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I rate McFadden, but pretty much every fan of every club he's ever played for says the same thing. He's massively hit and miss. But we don't have a player who can play through the centre with a left foot like his that can create something out of nothing- he offers a spark to the team. Obviously he's not Maradona or anything, but compared to what we've got going forward he's pretty good. I think he'd be a canny partner for someone like Carroll.

Disco Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 If we're playing 4-5-1 he'd be ideal in the hole. Fairly certain he was getting a lot of gametime at St. Andrews though last season so he might not want to move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Been speaking to a Watford fan and a Man U fan in the office about Cleverly, neither of them think he's up to Premiership quality. Too slight and although decent on the ball wouldn't be an improvement on what we've got. Personally I've barely seen him play so if he was on the cheap loan-wise then another body in the squad always helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Cleverley would be good, although I'd prefer Wilshere if its one or the other. Nice to see we're finally getting somewhere though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head and shoulders above anyone in the team from day one, similar age to Ashley Young making a big impact in the Championship, but in a worse side and a slightly different style of play (both team and player).

Pilko Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Curtis Davies fits the bill because he's got the right skin tone. McFadden too pasty and Scottish for Hughton to consider signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
