[Phil from the upper holte]

I can see Gabby going overseas, maybe to Turkey, to play out his days

On a farm?

I've read that lots of top clubs would like Veretout. Even though I like him and feel he could be useful if we can cash in on him at a profit, let him go. I'd rather try and develope Jack than wait around to see if Veretout can flourish.

Veretout had a bit of a purple patch under Garde but then completely fell off the radar for some reason, probably because of Eric Black! I get confused with Veretout because I don't really know what kind of player he is. I'd like to see him stay and work under the current Management team and see how he develops.

Heard a vague rumour that we may be after Bournemouth CB Elphick

I sympathise with all the flak Grealish has taken, and he is potentially a very good player indeed but we must not place the burden of having a team shaped around him until he has matured. Especially a make or break season like next season is bound to be.

Why would Veretout staying interfere with Grealish's potential development or lack of over the next 12 months? 2 Completely different players that could actually complement eachother if we are lucky.

totally agree. I'd like to hang onto Veretout if possible but I suspect that they're be some interest in him and we'll sell; a shame.

Veretout reminds me a bit of Petrov when he first came.  Petrov came as an attacking midfielder but didn't really have the dynamism to play in that role in England.  Instead he was more suited to a deeper role.  I think that could be the case with Veretout as well.

It will take someone like Ayew to stay to persuade others like veretout who may have options elsewhere to stay. Otherwise, it will probably be a clearout of the overseas players that were signed last summer, not necessarily because we want them to go either.

He's got his finger on the pulse, our kid.

yes I think he has been in a trance since the 1970s and was referring to Roger Brown, who I saw play many times for AP Leamington

That's the exact same comparison I see as well, even down to the fact that he struggled to play the full 90.  Veretout sitting deeper alongside someone like Sanchez with 2 wingers a 10 and a striker all moving in front of him and 2 full backs both getting forward could very effective, he's tidy enough on the ball and can clearly pick a pass so the extra yard of space he'll get should see him settle and show how good he can be.
