Delphinho123 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I think we need to stop making up chants and start asking the question as to why a 9m player looks completely out of his depth.How much of a look have we actually seen? Give the lad a chance.No villa89, it's clear that most of our signings this year are massive flops, and we should sell all of them, bar Amavi, for £1m each just to cut our losses and get them off the wage bill. Lambert out! Everyone out!Whilst your sarcasm is clearcut, I'd bite your hand off for 1m for Ayew.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if I was, Ayew and Gestede wouldnt be at the club, Charlie Austin would be and we'd be a couple of mil better off.Wait, isn't this the Jordan Veretout thread? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villanwesty88 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I think Veretout will be a hit at Villa. Having read articles about him, notably one in the B'ham Mail http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-jordan-veretout-sherwood-10079593 he seems to have his head switched on. I think he is the kind of guy who will train hard and do everything he can to maximise his potential. A bit like James Milner. If he can anywhere near Milner's level I'd be happy.If Gana is not available I'd play him in the two derbies as part of a three man midfield - two in central midfield will get overran like Leicester. Anyone who has outshone Paul Pogba should be the first name on the team sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has outshone Paul Pogba should be the first name on the team sheet. For me you totally contradict yourself by saying that anyone who outshines paul Pogba should be the first name on sheet yet you'll be happy if he gets anywhere near the level of James milner.I'd be very sceptical about any 'apparent' claim, he outshone Paul Pogba in an U20 tournament. Lesser known players are capable of having a one off better game/tournament than more established players. Diouf/Henry for example in 2002.He most certainly hasn't outshone him since especially this seasonWould it be fair to write him off? No not at all. But, like ayew he cost a substantial amount of money and will earn a fortune from aston villa. He needs to start showing us he's worth it soon , regardless of whether a new born child interferes with the grueling working hours of a pro footballer. Do me a favour.

At the time he outshone Pogba neither of them were at the level of Milner. Pogba has surpassed that level you'd have to say but Veretout hasn't. Wouldn't you be happy if he was near the level of Milner when he was here? One of our best players in the last 10 years easily. I think he has the potential reach that level and I was likening his attitude to Milner's too. I don't think £8m is a substantial amount of money in football, sadly. Many players don't immediately "show their worth" either, it's going to take time in a new environment and culture. I think having a child and moving to a new country shakes anyones life up regardless of their career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 wasnt on much but i did like his movement off the ball.. he has the pass and move to create space idea. Not many of our players besides Gil and Grealish do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'd have him over Westwood every time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 He looks like a player short on confidence to me. A lot of quite risky passes to Amavi in the left back area when he came on... ...but then, I think that gets ironed out by playing football generally.

PompeyVillan Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'm worried we've bought and player that doesn't suit our style of play or system here. I'm not quite sure where he fits in to this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarrieBlue Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 He fits in alongside Gana, Westwood and Sanchez cannot run a midfield, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 He seemed ok to me. But if we continue to give a midfield player 10 minutes to change a game we must be on drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I would give him a run in the team now....think Sanchez and Westwood has run its course now, take one out if not both and put him alongside Gana and see what happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
