RizLCFC Posted 28 July 2015 Share Posted 28 July 2015 Sigh. Aston Villa should complete deal for Jordan Veretout today According to our colleagues at L’Équipe, Nantes midfielder Jordan Veretout could become an Aston Villa player today after a fee was close to being agreed last night. Nantes President Waldemar Kita had the following to say: “We are basically agreed on everything. I am obliged to give in, he is 22, he has a big future and he will play for a great English club.” The President refused at the time to reveal which club it was. Get French Football News contacted the player’s agent last night, who merely said that the journalist, Pascal Praud, has a good relationship with Nantes President Waldemar Kita. Praud is the individual who revealed that Aston Villa are the side to have done a deal for Jordan Veretout. The fee has not filtered through at the time of writing, but the deal could be completed in the next hours. Southampton were also active for this player, but seem to have been put off by reported Tottenham and Liverpool interest in the player. Bournemouth were quickly rejected by Veretout. Veretout to Aston Villa? An emerging story, but most probably Aston Villa’s 3rd Ligue 1 export going by the name of Jordan. Source: GFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 28 July 2015 Share Posted 28 July 2015 So the only link we've had is one line in The Sun, and people are in a tizzy about him not joining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source: GFF As annoying as it is, perhaps we weren't actually in for Veretout. We've not had any link bar The Sun which said us, Watford and Bournemouth were keen. I know it's frustrating but we've just got to hope they know what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thybluefox Posted 28 July 2015 Share Posted 28 July 2015 It does seem that we've not actually been linked with him, which is a shame as he looked decent. Maybe that thought will stave off the mass suicide for a little while longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giggsy77 Posted 28 July 2015 Share Posted 28 July 2015 Just shows inept sherwood is when he targets players that our scouting team identify. Villa a bigger club? They may well be but season after season they struggle, I think they will struggle again with that clown in charge. Get your own targets Sherwood......Claudio needs to work overtime for some big signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just a small part of the entire process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonaldinho Posted 28 July 2015 Share Posted 28 July 2015 I'll be more disappointed if we hadn't targeted him because if not then we bloody well should have done. He seems a very talented, young player, in a position we desperately need, available for a decent fee and clearly wants to move to the Premier League. Villa might be a bigger club than us but I'm sure we can more than compete in terms of wages, signing-on fee, current squad, ambitions for the future. We'd need to sell to him the vision we have for the club, that we want to make further additions and push for the top 10 and hopefully beyond that in a couple of seasons. Instead - going by the fact that we've only had one questionable source - it looks like we might not have been interested at all, which would be a great shame.

Giggsy77 Posted 28 July 2015 Share Posted 28 July 2015 Wilson_6 yes but he will have input into what is happening. We have always been secret regards transfers, so hoping we pull off a big one sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted 28 July 2015 Share Posted 28 July 2015 Would be lovely after all the panic we draft in two midfielders and a centre back before the weekend. I'm not optimistic on any front at the moment though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
