I don't think Veretout would be a  big loss. He's Ok. but that's about it. I can't quite work out what he's meant to be good at.
I think Gardner would have done a similar job this season. So might as well make money on Veretout and play Gardner.
Mark my words...Gardner is not up to it

Ok, then...  D minus. Must Try Harder.

No loss if Veretout or Gil leave imo.

Agreed. Not a fan of either of them, and when Veretout was receiving praise on here earlier on in the season I was scratching my head wondering if they were watching the same Veretout I was watching.
Gil has always flattered to deceive.

Veretout has potential. I could live with him leaving but I'd want our money back. I like Gil and I imagine he's on less money than Traore or Sinclair so would make sense to keep him if we could move one of those on or convince someone to take a gamble and spend silly money on Grealish.

Veretout has to stay. He is under contract and will develop into a very good player.

Yep,  I agree.  I don't mind Gil leaving, he's a nice player to watch but he's too weak to be effective in English football.

Poor fella, if he stays next season he'll be in the Championship when the club he could have joined will be in the Champions League.

I like Gil , but his light weight, and will get kicked to shit in the championship.

I like Veretout but maybe he was at the wrong club at the wrong time, a bit like Remi.
It would be great to see him progress and fulfil his potential but I think he'll be off this summer.

The Championship is the ideal place for Veretout to gain confidence and develop.  He needs to play week in week out.

He's a similar build to Adam Clayton, Alan Judge, Barry Bannan and Ross McCormack who have all just been named in the Championship Team of the Year.

Similar build but much weaker, which is the main problem

Gil is nowhere near physical enough for the Championship. We'll need a team full of men, a sprinkling of quality & pace to have any chance in that league.

Our foreign players won't fancy it one bit & our experienced pros will think they're too good for that league.

For those who remember them, we got promoted in 1988 with the likes of Bernie Gallagher, Steve Sims & Mark Lillis playing most games. We also had Walters, Keown, McInally & Platt.
