Popular Post alreadyexists Posted July 27, 2015 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2015 French journo saying Jordan Veretout to Villa is a done deal. Dunno how reliable but very talented midfielder at Nantes. Do you think this is legit or just lazy Jordanism...? 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Kozak, Agbonlahor, Ayew is a wafer thing and poor attacking line-up.Waiting for a marquee striker signing. Is someone who played for Real Madrid and Man. City in recent memory going to be good enough for you? Hardly marquee though Chris for a team in our position it is. We cant exactly attract a top name player unless they have some baggag Maybe 3 or 4 years ago I would have agreed with you but he's 31/32 and only going to be a loan signing so hardly marquee still a big name though, probably havent signed a player of his name recognition or calibre since Merson joined John Carew?

Is someone who played for Real Madrid and Man. City in recent memory going to be good enough for you? Hardly marquee though Chris I'm intrigued by what constitutes a marquee signing, just spunking 18m on a forward dosen't guarentee that, we saw that with Bent beyond the first 6 months. Mitrovic at Newcastle, he could be brilliant or he could disappear without trace. Adebayor whether people want him or not has played for some massive clubs and IF he wants to be can still be an extremely effective striker at premier league level as long as the crosses are coming in.

VillaChris Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Where does this Nantes guy play? Talking of them if we're looking for another cheap CB I'd look at Vizcarrondo who plays for them. 31 so not a long term option and dosen't have huge pace but very commanding and excellent at set pieces, I'd feel more confident with him at the back alongside or instead of Richards.

VillaChris Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 John Carew was also falling out of favour at the big clubs he was playing for like Valencia and Lyon so not unlike Adebayor last few years. Again the reality is we finished 17th and Benteke was a nobody when he turned up here so just intrigued what sort of level striker we really should be signing according to some.

br3ah Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 L'Equipe ran a story yesterday about Veretout saying he had an offer from an unamed English club whilst Liverpool and Spurs were also sniffing - but his reps didn't want the spurs move due to too much competition there. I wonder if he likes the idea of walking straight into our starting 11 - If so there might be something in this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcomsimon Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Veretout is a DM so I guess that would dismiss any cambiasso links if true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
