These aren't excuses, exactly, but he wouldn't be the first player to take until their second season to show their potential. He showed glimpses of what he can do, at times, and we know from his time in France that he has plenty of skill. Hopefully RDM can a] make him settle in and b] get the best out of him. sure look at Petrov for example and he only moved from Scotland 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MikeMcKenna Posted June 5, 2016 Author VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2016 IMO Veretout is actually class player, who was rarely ever able to show it in a shit side. I predict he will be excellent in the Champs if we can bring in more quality. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 He's good at set pieces We scored off a few of them last season and they are a lot better than Westwoods 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 at times he could pass forward as well and at least tried some through balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) He's not a class player at all, he's just decent, with decent potential. He's not great at anything but does have solid technique and solid passing ability. Physically he's not that great, lacking pace and lacking stamina, hence he'd often get subbed off around the 60 minute mark. He needs to significantly improve his strength and conditioning. On ball he also needs to be a bit more efficient as for my mind he tends to take too many touches. He's not a bad player, but did have a very bad season, and was a waste of money. But under the right conditions I think he could become a decent player, I'm certainly not going to overhype him and call him 'class' though. Come on, he has not done a single 'class' thing in his career to date let alone for us. I do agree that he could be a standout player in the Championship but that doesn't really make you a class act, he has a very long way to go before he could be considered a quality player in a top flight league.

rodders0223 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Needs, along with many, to be worked like a dog in pre season. Has genuine quality IMO but his ability to deliver them has been severely hampered by his complete lack of engine. If we can get him right the moments of quality he does possess will be delivered all the more. I rate him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I think a lot of players here already will be transformed with Max Marchesi over seeing fitness training this coming season. We're likely compensating Inter Milan a pretty penny to get his services so players like Veretout will have no excuse come the start of the season if their engine isn't there.

cyrusr Posted June 10, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2016 Aston Villa midfielder wants showdown talks with new boss Quote Aston Villa midfielder wants showdown talks with new boss 11:01, 10 JUN 2016 UPDATED 11:01, 10 JUN 2016 BY GREGG EVANS Jordan Veretout is attracting interest from abroad but he's yet to rule out a prolonged stay Jordan Veretout will seek assurances from new boss Roberto Di Matteo before deciding whether to stay at Aston Villa . The 23-year-old is wanted by a number of clubs on the continent and also has options in France as he mulls over his future. Veretout was cast aside towards the back end of last season and departed for his summer break feeling unwanted and downbeat. Relegation to the Championship topped off a disappointing debut season in England and he’s only likely to stick around next term if Di Matteo makes him part of his plans. The former FC Nantes midfielder was signed for £10m last summer but failed to live up to his price tag. He didn’t score a single goal in 29 appearances, and like many of his team-mates he struggled to make an impact as Villa finished rock-bottom of the Premier League and were subsequently relegated. Frenchman Remi Garde used him more often than Tim Sherwood and Eric Black, the men who took control of Villa either side of his disastrous four-month spell. But since Garde’s departure, Veretout hasn’t played a single minute of first-team football. leaving his long-term future up in the air. Although other clubs in England have shown an interest, Veretout is unlikely to stick around on these shores if he decides on a move away from Villa. Discussions with Di Matteo are yet to take place and are expected later in the month. The former France U21 man has four years left remaining on his contract. Didn't realise he played no football since Garde left. I suppose with a lot of the "potential" players signed last summer, they will want assurances of first team football. Still think he would be a good shout as a first team player given the number of games next season and the need for more rotation but if he doesn't want to stay let him go.

honest_bertie Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Should hold on to him. Showed some signs of potential. Thought it was always harsh for us to judge him last season being a new dad and moving to a completely new country and culture. Think he could be a big player in championship. Hope RDM can work with him and sees potential in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dounavilla Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Of all our summer signings, for me he has the most potential and really hope he stays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 He was the signing I was most excited about last summer (and, I guess, most disappointed by in that respect) - he's definitely a good footballer. Would love him to stick around and develop at Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Veretout needs to be retained at all costs for next season. Feel sorry for him in general. No help in settling in the area, just had a baby, lived out of a hotel, and then once the French manager who integrated him into the squad left he was outcast again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sharkyvilla Posted June 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2016 This is an example of why having Black in charge **** us, not giving someone like Veretout a single minute is disgraceful. He's in his early twenties and one of the ones we could use to bounce back and hopefully with momentum turn into a decent PL midfielder but he just got complete ignored. It's encouraging that he wants to see where Di Matteo sees him fitting into this plans rather than just wanting to bugger off, which if I were him I'd probably want to do. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I hope Di Matteo will encourage him to stay as I think he will come good. He's not had an excellent season for us this year, but then again who did really? I think we'll start winning a lot more in the championship assuming we invest well (please, for once..) and regain some confidence. This should be a great environment for him to show everybody what he is capable off. If he still flops then we'll know for sure, but many players have had poor first seasons and then bloomed.

It sounds like he is looking for assurances he will play, rather than looking to leave. Happy with that, still think he could be a big player for us.
