tismyk Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Official: Fiorentina sign Veretout By Football Italia staff http://www.football-italia.net/106268/official-fiorentina-sign-veretout Fiorentina have officially confirmed the signing of Aston Villa midfielder Jordan Veretout. The Frenchman arrived for his medical this morning, ahead of what L’Équipe reports is a €7m move. “Fiorentina announces that outright signing of the player Jordan Marcel Gilbert Veretout from Aston Villa Football Club,” a statement on the Viola’s website announced. “Veretout, born born in Ancenis [France] on March 1, 1993, has worn the shirt of Nantes, Aston Villa and Saint-Etienne over the course of his career. “Last season, in a Saint-Étienne shirt he played 43 matches between Ligue 1, the Europa League and the Coupe de France, scoring four goals and providing five assists. “The French midfielder has also represented all of the French youth national teams, Under-20 World champions in 2013. “The new Viola player has signed a four-year contract with an option for a fifth.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really in truth none of the shower of expensive arseh*les we signed before relegation wanted anything to do with the club when we were down, yes maybe that was down to how poorly the club was run but also egos and the fact none of them took any responsibility and went after the first payday they could get. Amavi only really stayed as he was recovering from injury and even though he has never acted more than professional and always given his all, he will still be off the first club that comes in for him although i still hope we keep him. Ayew never wanted to stay either, it was only because the owner was so publically outspoken about keeping him. modern football... wonderful isn't it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case anyone was wondering about the amount, €7m is roughly equivalent to £7m, thanks to Brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Glad he's gone, definitely one for the 'major flops' pile. Also, we now don't have to read about how we should try and integrate him into the team yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raver50032 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 4 hours ago, sne said: Or that English clubs have more money than sense and buy players without having a plan for them. And that some managers have a real trouble handling players who aren't English speaking chavs. Sanchez was a rotation player for Viola, often used as CB. Doubt Veretout is brought in to be a leading player either. Seems like a bit of a fiddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Sherwood completely ostracised him (apparently didn't bother talking to him either). I don't particularly blame him for wanting out of the club. It amuses me that football fans seem to think players owe the club and, at the same time, a club can do anything they like to the players. He's a decent player and will do well enough elsewhere. It's a shame that our club was so terrible at selling our foreign signings in, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
