Villarocker 4,324 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Even though I can't stand the cow, can we not attempt to get Jordan, you know, the one with the big hole, to lead the players out on to the pitch? Might make a few more fans happier. Link to post Share on other sites

This Could Be Rotterdam 766 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I can just picture it now. A late Sunday night, sherwood sitting in his living room with his laptop wondering how he's going to recover the mess that is aston villa. So he opens up football manager, hires the very best scouts available, and thinks right, where do I start? I know, I'll search for the name Jordan and see what comes up... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Qwpzxjor1 518 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) It does seem odd to have such similarities. It looks like our scouting network was based solely in Ligue 1 last season, but whether they started their list at J and then got bored and gave up..

TrentVilla 23,404 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I'm more than a little suspicious that this might have started out as a joke that has been lost in translation and the been picked elsewhere. Just seems unlikely to be true to me but would be happy if it is. Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying he is unlikely more I find it unlikely Sherwood has targeted three players this window with the same name, just seems unlikely to me. As for the player I've never heard of him and I've certainly haven't heard anything either way in relation to this link. The cynercism is all my own Link to post Share on other sites

Well I'm pretty sure Sherwood has stolen my Football Manager tactic. He is only signing players who have over 150 potential.....

sonic_bouma 870 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Know nothing about him. all these frenchies I've never seen play so it's kind of frustrating holding back you're excitement coz you're not really sure how good they are. However after watching token videos of,him he looks incredibly mobile, physical and technically impressive. Day I say he reminds me of a a younger Gerrard. Good passing range and set pieces. Built very much like him aswell. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
alreadyexists 7,378 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Not great on my French pronunciation but presumably it's Vere (like hair) and tout (like too)? So Vair-Too? Sounds like a German taxi driver... Ha. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Folski 1,460 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 From L'Equipe Il y a quelques jours, Waldemar Kita, le président Nantais, confirmait que son milieu de terrain, Jordan Veretout (22 ans, sous contrat jusqu’en 2017), avait des envies d’ailleurs. Des clubs anglais, dont Tottenham, Liverpool ou encore Southampton, s’étaient penchés sur le dossier Veretout. Le joueur formé à Nantes pourrait finalement atterrir à Aston Villa, qui poursuivrait ainsi son recrutement très «made in» Ligue 1, étant donné que le club anglais a déjà enrôlé Jordan Amavi (Nice), Idrissa Gueye (Lille) et Jordan Ayew (Lorient). «On est presque d’accord sur tout. Je suis obligé de m’incliner. Il a 22 ans, il est plein d’avenir et il va jouer dans un grand club anglais», a réagi Kita dans L’Équipe de ce mardi, sans dévoiler le nom de la formation pour laquelle devrait s’engager Veretout. Un accord pourrait être trouvé dès ce mardi pour le transfert de Veretout. Link to post Share on other sites
