Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[JUAN PABLO]

sorry about my posts

internet is going down all the time

VM for you

Veretout doesn't want to play for the club in this league.

Understandable that he doesn't want to be showed up for not being up to the standard - again.

[JUAN PABLO]

Like you, I've no idea how Morrison would work out. I agree, if he's a success though he'd probably looking for a move sooner rather than later. If the fee isn't too high I think I'd be inclined to take a chance on him, as he's undoubtedly a huge, huge talent. Didn't Rio Ferdinand say that he was the most naturally gifted footballer he'd seen come through the Utd Youth Team...?!

pay as you play would be the best option for us

he said Pogba was in awe of Morrison

Leicester is a red herring.  He wouldn't have got in the team that won the league - or put it the other way - if he had, then they wouldn't have got anywhere near winning the league.

He's simply not up to it - he's way behind Westwood, Gana and Sanchez who were rightly criticised for not being good enough.

not sure

Albrighton could not get in a crap Villa team

[eamonn]

That was down to Lambert's dung-for-brains.

He led our team in assists and chances created even after playing sporadically for the first two months and then being chucked out wide later on under Garde when we ran out of wide players. Hardly an indication of someone shockingly out of his depth.

Just to clarify, I'm not directly comparing Benteke with Morrison. Different propositions and CB was simply open about using us as an in between club rather than having Morrison's baggage (expect maybe the striking at Genk thing).

I'm more making the general point that we don't need to be narrowing down our options by being sniffy about players that don't see us as a no brainier. I could understand their reticence given the last couple of seasons and where we currently are in the pecking order.

It's nice to hear a great first interview and a proper appreciation of our illustrious history but less important than what they ultimately do in games.

Of all the players that came in last year Veretout was for me the most anticipated yet has been the most disappointing. I think it is in his head and I am sure the Leicester thing has played on his mind.
You would think that the best way to get away is to turn in some very decent performances - not sit and sulk without any game time

Nut then again these are footballers I am talking about

[JUAN PABLO]

I remember listening to a french footy expert talking about Veretout and he said Villa was playing him in the complete  wrong position , whatever that is.

We played a lot of players in the wrong position last season. In a Villa shirt on a football pitch.

... The squads still badly missing a winger too ...

What's wrong with Green?

He's a kid. Looks to have a lot of potential but I wouldn't want to rely on a youngster who's yet to produce a goal or an assist in the first-team to be our supply-line for the entirety of a Championship season.

[themossman]

What is the consensus on how best to use him? I'm genuinely sketchy about this. I sort of assume he's ideally a Barry style continuity player as opposed to an out and out AM or DM.

[SoccerHQ]

Veretout is still around. I'd prefer to see him playing ahead of Gardner

Me too.

Veretout dosen't want to be here though, can only think there's not much interest in him.

Says who?

Genuine question, have I missed something with him?

It was in the Mail a few weeks back that he'd informed the club he didn't want to play in the championship and was open to loan moves.

Since the Marseille loaned fell through nothing but given he can't even make the bench it appears we're just waiting for a club to come in for him close to the deadline.
