mwj Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I sure hope so, but I remain tentative until it's writ in stone. Is "writ" a word ? it's lazyspeak for written ffs kids these days... writ 1 (rĭt) n. 1. Law A written order issued by a court, commanding the party to whom it is addressed to perform or cease performing a specified act. 2. Writings: holy writ. [Middle English, from Old English.] writ 2 (rĭt) v. A past tense and a past participle of write. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 140 guests on this thread. Wonder how many are Leicester fans desperately holding out to buy a player Slight off topic but Leicester seem to be trying to throw a lot of money about but not sign anyone. Either no one wants to go to them, it's the classic make it look like you're trying to spend money but have no intention really or they are just inept. Unless they do sign players I fully expect them to struggle. Which is always good to know if Le Plan A doesn't work (optimistic it will though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nabby Posted July 29, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2015 http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2015/nantes-president-confirms-hes-set-to-sell-veretout-to-villa/ Nantes President Waldemar Kita has confirmed to L’Équipe that while Leicester City have made a better offer for central midfielder Jordan Veretout, he plans to sell the player to Aston Villa. He had the following to say: “He has made his choice, and I am going to go in his direction. They (Aston Villa) are haggling on certain details. They need to be careful because if they continue to haggle they might lose the player from right under their noses. They have until this evening to take a decision. I’m set to lose €5m (by taking Villa’s deal and not Leicester’s). I am a pillock. I would have never thought I would have done anything other than try to raise the price, but I am not going to go against the boy. He is a boy who has never done us wrong, who played the game right until the end, contrary to others, who did not sulk 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Well if any of that is true, apart from the pillock bit that obviously is, then we need to pull our finger out and finish it up. If this guy is as good as everyone here says, and we're dithering about some formalities at the potential of losing out to leicester we need to get it done. We haven't known real shame until we've been outdone by leicster... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a boy who has never done us wrong, who played the game right until the end, contrary to others, who did not sulk" Sounds like he's got the right attitude (and of course good taste and his brain in the right place choosing Villa over Leicester!) He's highly rated by all accounts - excited about this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I guess with Leicester's offer being higher Nantes are telling us to pay more upfront if we want him for the lower fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Seems like he is doing us a favour as crazy as it sounds. Only way this won't be done is if we don't want it done by the sounds of things. Hopefully we have sorted out the minor details and can get this wrapped up pretty quickly.

Keyblade Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Managed to come up with a conspiracy theory that makes sense (pretty 'desperate' one aswell)We identify targets that aren't quite good enough and leak our interest in them. Villa (who I know had a poor scouting network under lambert) think he must be worth it if we are interested. We allow them to make the deal and come back in when too late just to make sure that they get it over the line. can't find another explanation that allows me to look forward to a week on Saturday and what follows. I can't do another season like last. My hair fell out ages ago and my nails went with it. How Leicester fans get through the day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 After having to deal with the snake it makes a pleasant change to deal with an honourable person in football. Welcome to the club then Jordan, you are going to be a legend for us and I am confident now we will be nowhere near a relegation battle this season. Amazing signing hats off to Sherwood 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
