Why on earth would the 'club' do that having just paid a lot of money for him and who do you mean by the club? Well, Timmy of the Sherwood. Unlikely the entire football club.

He went, new managers came and in some cases went and a new owner, he still didn't want to be here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keener window-cleaner Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I feel sorry for him personally that he (allegely) turned down Leicester and joined us, relegation instead of champion. The few times I saw him play I didn't see anything special in him, he was good at passing the ball quickly to the nearest player and was fairly good at set pieces, but that was it. It looked like he didn't quite cope with the tempo, looked slow and a bit weak. I think he was in the same mould as Westwood, but can't say he was better. Would actually prefer Westwood to Veretout. I think having a foreign player, not speaking the language, who doesn't show any great interest of wanting to be at the club creates a bad atmosphere, so I'm glad he has left. In a league with slower tempo as the serie a he will probably do alright. Have fun and bye bye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 from the pre season games this year it doesn't seem much of a loss, didn't shine against some crap teams. It was evident people like Samba were giving everything he just looked like he was strolling around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a more welcoming French manager for double that amount of games. People making excuses for him when he had no interest to be here and dont think that big of a loss since he offered us nothing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skills Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 is it 6m inclusive of add ons? or 6m flat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same as when we signed, I doubt we just gave a straight one off payment of 7-8m to Nantes although with Lerner's dealings maybe we did!

VillaChris Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Dosen't it all stem from that xmas video when Richards gave Gabby a French dictionary and they had a hysterical laugh about it which suggest the senior players in the squad weren't hugely welcoming towards the French guys. I wouldn't say Veretout would feel isolated though, yes he was struggling to settle and couldn't speak the language but they were plenty of french speakers at the club including Eric Black (who ironically axed him from the squad).
