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.

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.
I suppose what I mean is if his hearts not in it and he wants away then let him go and get some profit back on his transfer fee. As I say I think he's useful and a tidy player but I wouldn't be too worried if he left. I know he's different to Jack but I get the feeling he wants to play for us. Well I hope so anyway. Both players did not do themselves too much justice last season but both are young and have talent.

Did anyone see the video on the official twitter feed? A shirt being printed with '9' and 'Petkovic' on the back. Said that two big names are coming to Villa Park today, but one might be the Doc.

Not sure who Petkovic is...

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

Where have you been? 😁

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

So I haven't got a scoop then?

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
Played football with Roger Brown at school in the late 60s...he was a year ahead of me and a bit of a hero of mine.
Shocked to find out he died about 5 years ago.





I've been away on holiday for the last 10 days - no wireless, tv or interweb...has anything happened?

Watched him many times in a previous life as a sports reporter with Heart of England Newspapers and CET. Excellent player and a top bloke. Fully deserved to step up to full time professional football. died way too early.
