From France: Last minute change in Aston Villa transfer, deal still going through (Jordan Vertout)

http://sportwitness.co.uk/france-last-minute-change-aston-villa-transfer-deal-still-going/?

What an awful site - eyes bleeding from the pop up adverts

I agree  - Balls to Veretout wanting to get away as far as possible

I tell you what Mr Sulky - go and rip some trees up and maybe just maybe we will let you grace our shirt again - Billy big bollocks (with no bollocks actually)

Really disappointed in this twat

Balotelli would be the most talented player in the championship and would score a hatful. Can't see it happening but would be chuffed if it did.

Happy it's just a loan. Let's see what he's like next summer. Smart move in my book.

Would rather we were not getting Vertout back, piss poor attitude (too good for the championship despite helping get us into it). Never want to see him in a Villa shirt again.

Why on earth would we want a player back, that doesn't want to play for us in the championship?

RDM might rate him and want to placate him or we feel that a good year in France will make him worth more than any clause previously in place with St Etienne for them to buy him permanently at the end of the season.

Really disappointed in this twat

Except the only suggestion that he wants to 'get as far away as possible' is entirely from the point of view of the writer who seems to have written the story based on tweets.  I'm not saying he didn't say he'd rather play in Ligue 1 than the championship but this could just as easily be our idea as it is his, or could be something tha we agree is better for his development.

If we go on the 'facts' RDM and Xia have made it clear they don't want people with a bad attitude and in this case they've altered the contract so he comes back.  So either we want to keep him and he is happy with that or, as eamonn says, we think his value will be higher next summer.

I don't like the assumption that anyone who we let go has kicked up a stink and forced a move when we have no idea if that is true.  Yes some papers say it but given how much bullshit gets published in the sports press I'm not sure there's any back up to those stories other than the writer thinking it's a fair guess.

He's ready to go...

Given the lack of impact he made last season, it will be quite annoying (and will also say something about him) if he now does well there.

I thought Newcastle were after him?

Either way, I think he'd be a good player in England.

I've long thought the team needs more Bas Dosts.
