Haven't we already got whatever we're going to get from veretout? Wasn't he one of the players we supposedly "sold" his sell on fee for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I thought that was just Sanchez and Amavi but might be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't actually that great in 14/15, easily his worst on pitch season for us but would've kept him without question given the circus act of Lescott-Richards that came in to replace him. Probably all academic as don't think he played for six months after leaving us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 On his way to Napoli for 27m it seems. Done really well for himself since leaving, real shame that it never worked out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at our list of 'F-ups' that we mismanaged, imagine Verertout, Guaye, Amavi... all of them went on to greater things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Just for a bit of context, he's been flattering to deceive for about half a campaign now (and though he was in good form last year, a lot of the big money talk came with more than sprinkling of hyperbole in my opinion). One of those frustrating players whom for all his ability, if their head isn't in it then he's a passenger. Hasn't helped that he's been surrounded by some guff players of late (and Fiorentina have been shambolic for a lot of the season) but I do feel that a step up to the likes of a Napoli will end up being beyond him. But then maybe with better players around him he'll do better (at least until his head goes again). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think the prem suited him tbh, bit like Thuvian who didn't do much at Newcastle and then went to Marsielle and produced ridiculous stats and got in French squad.

villa4europe Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Yep, asking a young kid to come in and rise above the rest of the "professionals" that we had whilst the media and a chunk of our fan base happily threw him under the bus for being French whilst ignoring the antics of the others Gueye was seemingly exactly the same, so was amavi, they were good signings that would have been considered incredible business at any decent ran club 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
