Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[PeterWithe]

I'm surprised we are looking at moving him as we seem a little short of numbers in midfield.

Veretout?

Doesn't that tell you all you need to know about the situation though? rumour was he wasn't interested in playing Championship football. Which is bizarre considering he never showed anything to suggest it was beneath his level last season

[PeterWithe]

If he wasn't interested in playing Championship football he was in a pretty good position to prevent it happening.

Ravel Morrison, come on down! (And be Veretouts replacement).

*lightbulb moment*

I thought you were on about James Morrison on another thread.

[mr underhill]

or Jim Morrison and he's been a bit quiet for years

[Steve67]

Veretout seems to be whoring himself out to anyone who might take him rather than stick with us to prove he's a decent player. Neither he or Sanchez will be missed, but, they most certainly need to e replaced with more willing and proven players. I'd take Bridcutt or Jedinak.

As said earlier, even if the changes being mentioned, 3 bids and some loan players, none of them seem to be a winger so hopefully Green will get a run, can understand what Brian G is getting upset about, yes the names he mentioned are only kids and that tosser Black had the perfect opportunity to give them a run, so hopefully RDM will give them a run out on Wednesday and if they show anything especially Green and Russian, we may get rid of Justdead and Gardner or hopefully Westwood as well, right back please say someone is on the horizon.

After watching yesterday, and watching other games from the championship over the weekend its evident that we need to do something about getting the ball in the box! Most of the games i watched had plenty of balls being piled into the box, whether that was crosses or set plays. We on the other hand hand Aly Cissokho who cant cross his fingers let alone a ball into the box and Ayew who would rather take the ball around someone and get nowhere (he shouldn't play out wide for this reason). Added to this inn the build up to the game we have seen contracts for the youth and media around Jack Grealish turning things around.

The game came and Green and Grealish are on the bench! Gestede once again has no supply and we cant deliver the ball in the box........ Im not saying they are anyway perfect but we need to get more crosses into the box. it may have been a gamble to put them in, but its needed. We need wingers or to start playing wingers. oh and where the fuck is ADAMA?

IMO
Strong pacey foward
1 or 2 wingers, with 1 being a seasoned player
harden cm like Jedinek
another CB, youth is good
a young RB, as im happy with hutton
marquee play maker

7 players in total

oh and i hope that we see some youth mixed in wednesday

I follow what Brian is saying. We have a lot of young talented players at the club. What is holding them back is not having players in the team that can carry them for a couple of games until they get their confidence. I felt that we lacked conviction yesterday and played the game as though we were still in the PL. We need to be far more positive and understand that we can afford to be.

St. Etienne now in negotiations for a season long loan for Veretout according to French media

Good news, nothing can stop us now.

Thank you OMVF.  That is exactly the point I have been trying to make.  You have to mesh the young players in.  It is not either or.  I am okay about the Wednesday result.  My moan is that ever since Houllier we have put caution at the top of our priorities and it got us ultimately relegated with 17 points.  I knew from the minute I saw the line up against Boro that our season would start with a belt and braces approach to games. Let's be really daring and take a risk or two on emerging talent.  I would bet any amount that given the pitch time Rushian Hepburn-Murphy would score more goals than Rudy Gestede, crosses into the box or no crosses into the box.

And if it is only a loan, we can Kiss and Make up next year when we are back in the big time.

I have a feeling we will never see veretout in a villa shirt again and much like Mattieu Berson, We will be left wondering "what if"

[eamonn]

His level may not be much above Hobart Paving FC.
