He did, however have praise for Ireland's James McCarthy but he mustn't have realised that he is now in direct competition with one of Everton's best players last season.
“James [McCarthy] is a top player,” Ceverley said. “I always knew he would be from when I played with him at Wigan.
“Having said that, there’s not only James, there are plenty of the other lads here who I have played with for England and Manchester United, so hopefully that will help me settle in quickly.”
So, is Tom Cleverley England material?
England are pretty average themselves but the obvious answer is of course he bloody isn't.
We thought of 10 names that are ahead of him for a midfield berth right off the top of our heads and, even at that, we could throw five or six more if we were up for the arguments.
Jordan Henderson
Michael Carrick
Gareth Barry
Fabian Delph
James Milner
Jack Wilshere
Ross Barkley
Jack Cork
Ryan Mason
Jonjo Shelvey
Good luck, Tom.Explore more on these topics:
