Pretty much, but some people have agendas that go beyond reasoning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 too fat and slow for English football anyway. Complete non-entity of a player for me. And that's not even sour grapes. He's just crap! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot integrate someone who does not want to be integrated. I'm just going to stop now, it's obvious that the point just isn't sinking in for some.

We're just discussing the situation we might find ourselves in if Veretout doesn't get his move (that all of us would like to happen!) and how we can avoid yet another player on stupid wages rotting in the reserves. But yeah, whatever your point was 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also hardly worth having a long exegetical discussion about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 30, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2017 If he doesn't want to be here he could instead be plying his trade at probably 90% of the rest of the club's in the world. All he needs to do is agree to wages most normal people could only dream of, say £5k per week and he can be off at the drop of a hat. These people drive me to despair. It happens so often (more often than most with us than other clubs) Player's earning utterly obscene wages moan they are unhappy with their lot but 99% of the time will not consider dropping from massively obscene wages to only mostly obscene wages to get what they want. They have no idea what it means to be stuck in an unfair situation in a job they hate. It's frankly insulting. They are more empowered than probably any class of employee in any businesses anywhere. If you don't want to be here Jordan take the pay cut and leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 So Veretout is our new viliian? I think he could do a job if he can get settled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 He's returned to training as he is contractually obliged to do so. I wouldn't read anymore into this as I expect he'll be gone by the time the season starts. Looking at Xia's tweets (not specifically about JV) it appears the club are prioritising on getting players out the door as much as them coming in.

DCJonah Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 If he would show the right attitude I'd happily try and keep him. While not impressive in the prem I think he would be a good addition to a squad fighting for promotion from the championship. Saying that, it seems quite clear that he wants out. So best for all parties if we can get the right deal quickly to make that happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2017 He's better than Gardner and Bacuna, if he gave his all on the pitch I really don't care if he would prefer to be in France. Though, I suspect he will end up in France. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
