davieG Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Leicester City have today completed the capture of Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley on loan until the end of the season. The 19-year-old, who can also play in defence, has been a mainstay in the United reserve team since graduating from their under-18 side. His perfoamnces for the Reds second string last term earned him a nomination for the Reserve Team Player of the Year award, and he was also called up to Sir Alex Ferguson's first team squad for their pre-season tour of South Africa this term.
JoeyB Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Thats Egg on some people's faces. Don't know that much about him, and i wonder if this is incase Davies doesn't sign on longer? Edit: FM says he is a RB & MC.

StanSP Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Well, that thread about the new loan signing was correct (I saw the first post and thought it was a wind-up) Anyone seen him play? Bit risky by NP to go for youth cover for Hobbs/Morrison.
ousefox Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Seemss like a good signing. I wonder if he is a replacement for when Davies goes back

GLC Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 nice to see people eat humble pie hope this bloke does well
JoeyB Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 We need a song for him. Tom, Tom, Tom Cleverley only one i can think off. HAHa
Libertine Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Sounds like he's got a smart head on his shoulders. That was shit.
Wooly Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Weird, I signed him on my Champ Man game the other day. He didnt play a game for us but I sold him for a million quid profit the next season.
OriginalRobboFOX Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Fact Rooney et al love him, this photo was taken after he took a throw in....
Jordan Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 It's ok, Libertine, that little ditty will make you seem like a poet laureate when compared to the crap puns that the OS will serve us.
Edmund Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Good signing, looks like bigger clubs see us a good base for players to get valuable experience. Im surprised junior ferguson doesn't sign/loan players from man utd?
Jimmy2Drags Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 They won't go there cos Peterborough are shite.
Babylon Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 I think it shows how high other managers regard Pearson... it's not easy to get these players from big clubs!!
Shrenchel Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Got a united mate who regards him very highly. I'm excited.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 I think it shows how high other managers regard Pearson... it's not easy to get these players from big clubs!! Yeah, they don't want their player getting in the habit of playing hoofball, which we don't (at long last!) I find myself wondering where NP will play him, we're sound in Midfield (at least until Davies leaves - hopefully not soon), so is he defensive cover?
Uncle Albert Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Never heard off the lad before today. Hope the lad does well.
Babylon Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Never heard off the lad before today Like Gilbert, Davies, Hobbs, Martin etc etc....
BedsFox Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Googled from a ManU Forum "What do you make of him? I'm guessing that almost everyone on here will have seen his strike with the first team in pre-season in the Vodcom final. But he's motoring along with the reserves and really sticking his neck out for Fergie to come a calling IMO. He's their leading scorer at this moment and has scored a few beauties so far this season, including an a la Scholes volley from a corner against City a few weeks back. He's one of the main reasons the reserves are doing as well as they are, and if he keeps up his form I'm sure he'll be given his chance one way or another!"
Finnegan Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Had heard of Hobbs and Gilbert, Gilbert had been on loan at Cardiff and had done alright. Hobbs and Martin were good on football manager.
Lillehamring Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 kudos to whoever introduced the scrolling 'newsflash' on the main menu - very high tech Fact Rooney et al love him, this photo was taken after he took a throw in.... brilliant
demon_dog Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Yeah, they don't want their player getting in the habit of playing hoofball, which we don't (at long last!)I find myself wondering where NP will play him, we're sound in Midfield (at least until Davies leaves - hopefully not soon), so is he defensive cover? He's a midfielder. Probably to take the place of Davies when he goes back to Wolves.
