In a way I think Cleverley is the least of our concerns when it comes to my list of players I think need to go.
He'll be 25 in August, he's mobile, he can control and pass the ball in tight spaces and with the right coaching and regular football I think he can be a half decent player.
For those reasons I can see one of two things happening. LVG will retain him and turn him to a useful squad player - bringing out the best in him and improving areas to his game such as passing the ball forward and tackling.
The second scenario is he will go to someone like Everton for about 10 million and they'll bring the best out of him.
I really do think he will go on and have a decent career. Not the top midfielder we hoped but he'll either be a good squad player or bring in 10 million of we sell him.
I'm more concerned about Fellaini, Fletcher and Young. Who for varying reasons offer absolutely no future to our club. The problem is other clubs might be wise to that and not want them either.
Cleverley

Massive pressure on Herera to deliver immediately. We need at least another midfielder.
======================
I think many fans realise this. That is why i sincerely hope the Vidal links are true and bear fruit. Herrera alone is inadequate IMO - especially with our crap wingers.

Agreed, TRC. Vidal shouldn't have many problems coping with the pressure of being the main man in our midfield either. Herrera is a bit different.

I think many don't too at this juncture based on what I read here and that we will be top 4 without a problem.
really depends on us getting 3+ quality signings in still and then LVG working his stuff from the off.
As witnessed last season OT is a very hard place to play if the crowd get on your back.
Luckily the players have hardly experienced this in the last twenty odd years, barring a few like Fletch, Gibson, Cleverley. We should never have got to this but lets hope the Dutch master can work his magic.

Plenty of posters here and in other media responding to Arsenal and Liverpool fans saying we will be top 4 etc...
Not saying you are one of them. Personally I think it's a tall order. Lpool have loads of Suarez money available, Arsenal will buy quality now and CIty keep improving. Even Maureen is not just content to find strikers he is revamping his midfield entirely it seems and CBs

I think we can get top four. But I've not seen anything to suggest many think we can get top four without a problem.

Mourinho is revamping the midfield because their midfield is shiiite.

Mourinho is revamping the whole team slowly, Zouma bought for the future, their reserves and youth team winning trophies,.
Matic, Cesc, Costa, Felipe and posssibly Mangala and rumours of huge bid for Pogba to come.
They could be formidable this season and for the foreseeable future.
I won't be happy until we sign a player like Vidal and two decent defenders

Yeah because he's revamping it.
