Nine Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Just now, Manxst said: We were linked when he arrived at and then left Villa iirc, and I wasn’t too enamoured with him coming to us. Seems to have progressed since he was playing in the PL in fairness- was maybe just the wrong time for England before. Worth noting that he played under Sherwood at Villa as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 My only knowledge about him is from that period when we were linked with Fonseca - I vaguely remember Veretout being a key part of his Roma team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a young lad just breaking through into the first team, can't blame him for wanting a bit of stability in his first season and not feeling ready for a move to the PL just then.

xLiaaamx Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 He was 19, and we gave him half a day to decide if he was ready. Our own fault for not agreeing a price 10 days earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Seems like a sensible lad, particularly for a 19 year old. He said it the time it was too big a decision to make, particularly as he'd only just broke into the Reims side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 2 hours ago, SUPERTOON said: Spanish press saying we will pay an extra 14 million euros to Atletico now we are safe. Always seemed odd that £25m was being quoted, and then suddenly he was announced and it was half that. Not sure what was in it for Atletico, mind, since at that point we looked dead certs to be relegated, so they couldn't count on that extra £12-13m. Makes me wonder if there was something in the deal meaning they got their player back if we did go down, so they wouldn't lose out. I've just made that last bit up, of course, but if there was anything along those lines agreed, then it wouldn't be that different from a loan to buy type arrangement.

This season, the versatile star has directly contributed to 14 goals in 48 appearances under Jose Mourinho, earning an impressive 7.13 average match rating in the process whilst making 1.5 key passes, winning 2.6 duels and taking 46.3 touches on average per league game (Sofascore). Valued at £19.80million and under contract until 2024 (Transfermarkt), Veretout presents an affordable and astute option as Newcastle boss Howe attempts to freshen up the midfield department."
