What do you Everton fans think of Tom Cleverly at £8 million pounds with only 12 months left on his Manchester United contract, would he improve your team?

{Ed025's Note - im not impressed at all red wire, i cant see what he would offer our first team, or in fact who he would replace, he seems, after a promising start, to have gone backwards, and £8m for a squad player is too much for a club of our wealth, but maybe bobby sees something i dont, and i trust him implicitly to make the right call on him mate.. maybe the real mike will give more of an insight into his worth.. :)

Clevs is amazing. Don't take my word for it though, take a look at these quotes from the great and good of football.

Zinedine Zidane: “There is no doubt for me that Tom Cleverley is in a class of his own. He’s almost untouchable in what he does. I never tire of watching him play. You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Cleverley is as close to it as you can get. One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.”

Cesc Fabregas: “Cleverley is the one whose level I aspire to. He is the best player in the Premier League.”

Pele: “Tom Cleverley is undoubtedly the best midfielder of his generation.”

Ryan Giggs: “I have played with some great players during my time at United but I would have to put Tom Cleverley down as the best.”

Wayne Rooney: “Clevs is best I’ve played with, no question. His touch, passing, vision, composure is outstanding. I try to copy him.”

Andres Iniesta: “Every one of us are just trying to become as good as him.”

Xavi: “Without any doubt the best player in the Premiership has to be Tom Cleverley. He knows how to do everything, and he is one who directs the way his team plays. On top of that, he has indestructible mental strength and he is a genuine competitor.”

Now do people understand?

Cleverley is a good sauad player for a top 6 team and a good player for a mid-table team.

Sounds like your getting a % of Cleverley's sale fee lol

I'd sooner take Seb Larsson and Ben Arfa, at least they look like they both enjoy & like playing football

Mike you are undoubtedly a genius in posting on here. Also in all my years of watching football, I have never seen anyone execute the 3 yard sideways pass with the composure and guile of cleverly. 8million quid. its a absolute steal.

but 53 games since 2009, c'mon @ man u that should be 200-253 games


Another Stephen Hughes in the making!

Thanks for the replies, there is certainly no doubt as to what the majority would make of him signing . I had no idea the feelings against Cleverley were so strong .
