ROTTERDAM1982 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Reminds me of Steed Malbranque. Picks a pass out well, that cross to Gestede was top quality. On the extrnded highlights i saw Collins and the other CH made some very good challenges on Gestede, any other day we would have won that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I can see the Malbranque comparison, I thought he was an excellent player also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Zatman's initial comment was 'maybe not [staying next season in the Championship] though his value is going back up in every game if we do have to sell'. I didn't understand how that was answered by 'If we go down we'll be selling him for less' and I still don't really. Never mind, not important.

The guy is a joke and I hold him solely responsible for our current situation. Not sure if serious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He takes responsibility for all of the transfers. The problem isn't that he bought shit players. The problem was that he bought players who would take months to settle and didn't have the foggiest idea what to do in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 What sums villa up is we sign a player and we cling to the knowledge that he once outplayed paul Pogba. Within half a season, he's now likened to steed malbranque. What an underwhelming sack of shit this club really is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Veretout could have joined Leicester but ended up at Aston Villa. He must be suicidal now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I thought he had some decent moments, especially in the first half. Very good technique and an eye for a pass. However he's just too lightweight for this league, I don't think the money spent on him represented particularly good value, given we were always going to struggle this season.

Stevo985 Posted January 2, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2016 Good first half, faded badly in the second half as he often seems to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 He has an eye for a pass, certainly. The problem is he doesn't have the foot for a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StanBalaban Posted January 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2016 Thought he was decent again in the first half. Along with the other Jordan's, he's certainly not what's wrong with this team. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I thought he and Gana were very decent today as a pair, and they dominated the midfield for long periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulver Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Veretout has blossomed since Dim Tim was turfed out. Not surprisingly. Would love to see him playing in a decent side. Maybe next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
