Zatman Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I think Sanchez would have offered more than Veretout and Jedinak especially in closing out games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted October 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2016 Of the loanees, I think he's the least likely to actually come back (if any) given how his problems were personal as well as football, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted October 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2016 Can't believe we have paid over £10m for two players who would have improved our squad and then let them go our on loan , for next to no fee with no option to recall them, its more of the same old if we have , poor decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wilko154 Posted October 4, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2016 It always amazes me how in a players absence they suddenly become the player we desperately need... He wasn't very good last season, and wouldn't be very good this season. Nothing to see here... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think we need 3 in central midfield and if it was between Veretout and Westwood, I know who I'd choose. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PieFacE Posted October 4, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2016 Is he better than Gardner? Yes. Is he better than Westwood? Yes Is he better than Jedinak? From what I've seen of him so far... Yes. That's the reason he should be in the squad. How people can't see the lad has talent is a bit unbelievable to me. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 How much talent he had is irrelevant if he didn't want to be in our Championship squad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted October 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2016 We paid for him to play for us , if he doesn't want to play for us then we should stop paying him and he shouldn't be playing for anyone else. Career over. All this pussy footing around players , him spouting off about not wanting to play in a lower league is bollox. We should play hard ball and send a message out to all the players that we are willing to fight for the club and make the decisions that are right for us , not everyone else . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an era where Wayne Rooney was dictating to United and Fergie and Sterling,a snot nosed teenager was dictating to one of the biggest clubs in European history. Good luck playing "hardball" You usually just end up paying some words removed salary to sit in your reserves, whilst he winds down his contract, his value dwindles and you lose him on a free. He didn't want to be here, we have no power, no club has power.. Edited October 4, 2016 by rodders0223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As poor as those three are, was he actually ever better than any of them? Or is it the same wishful thinking that people had when they were crying about Kozak not being in the team ahead of Gestede - and we all know how that panned out. I don't remember much of how he played to be quite honest, but from what I do recall - I saw nothing that suggested he was anywhere near the quality that his price-tag suggested.

We have lost him for nothing anyway and were contributing to his salary so we came out winners with this one, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got £49m for a Sterling they wanted desperately to keep and build their future around. Rooney got a £300k a week contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stock will still be high in France after that good season he had for Nantes. Sanchez is also playing week in week out at Fiorentina. That was a cracking move for him as they could well make champions league this season. Gil is the only one not really playing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 He says that he might return to the club but under different circumstances. I hope it's the kind of circumstances where he takes some responsibility and performs... otherwise were not interested Jordan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
