soley118 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. He can play centre back apparently, could be filling in for tunchev
lavrentis Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 I signed him on FIFA 09 before he signed for us. If he's good for us then that can't be bad.
MC Prussian Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Quite a force, that Cleverley... Has speed, eye and what a bang on his right foot... And that from outside the box! Just recognized Manucho in that video, who's himself leaving ManU on loan to Hull.
Uncle Albert Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Like Gilbert, Davies, Hobbs, Martin etc etc.... I had heard of Hobbs and Martin before. Not Gilbert.
Hitesh Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Good signing. 'Cleverly' done by NP. Everyone was thinking it and thought it was terrible but you took it one step further and just had to! Shame on you! ----- Good move by Pearson. The kid is doing well in the reserves but I bet he is eager to show Fergie what he can do in a more competitive scene so hopefully he will come good. Also good competition for King and Davies and will keep them on their toes. Doubt he will be cover enough for CB so I still reckon we should get someone in. Looking forward to seeing what he has got!

Daggers Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 [Yootoob][/Yootoob]30 seconds in... Thank Christ! I thought we'd go a whole season without signing someone off Yootoob
Finnegan Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Thank Christ! I thought we'd go a whole season without signing someone off Yootoob He's no Kaibi.
Daggers Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 [Yootoob]QbQxRBP1f4o[/Yootoob]about 3 mins in I must admit - I'm worried whether he'll be able to cope with the step up
Koke Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Well, we shall see what he can do against the mighty Yeovil.
Tilley Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Pearson has picked out gems before, lets hope the trend has continued.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Looks to have a lot of upside, from what i've read and had a very good apprenticeship
Ultra Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Pearson has picked out gems before, lets hope the trend has continued. Indeed. This signing shows how much he's respected in the game. So many of the top managers send players to work with him.
Carlos9 Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 If he turns out good what are the chances of signing him? We have afew loan players now. When we go up it could all go wrong.
Tilley Posted 16 January 2009 Posted 16 January 2009 Indeed.This signing shows how much he's respected in the game. So many of the top managers send players to work with him. Agree. It says something when Wenger, Ferguson & Rafa have sent him players this season.
5waller5 Posted 17 January 2009 Posted 17 January 2009 We need a song for him. Tom, Tom, Tom Cleverley only one i can think off. HAHa Tom cleverrrrrrly's a leicester fan, a leicester fan, a leicester fan ...... Tom cleverlyyyyyys a leicester fan ..... and so is michael fish!!!
Bert Posted 17 January 2009 Posted 17 January 2009 Pearson Steve Walsh has picked out gems before, lets hope the trend has continued. As for the song - We've got Tom Cleverly, we've got Tom Cleverly and so on....
fox123 Posted 17 January 2009 Posted 17 January 2009 A bit stupid but. To the tune of 'Whole World in our hands' We've got Einstein, in our team We've got Einstein, in our team We've got Einstein, in our team We've got Einstein in our team.
carterfox90 Posted 17 January 2009 Posted 17 January 2009 will he be able to play alongside hobbs & martin with the rivalry hope he does well for us but it does sound like davies wont be around after this month which is a shame
StanSP Posted 17 January 2009 Posted 17 January 2009 How many other clubs have loan signings from Liverpool (2), Man Utd and Arsenal (and the Championship leaders) Must say that is pretty impressive
