gharperr Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 City are a bit different to most teams though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 28, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2015 if we sign this lad for 10m then we must be using money excluding sales consideirng we have only received 16m for tekkers Not this again... what? Everyone staggers payments. We got 16 the same way Nantes won't be getting 10. Untrue.. i lost a bet on this from something i read on here by a poster. They were spouting off that City paid stearling in payments, 100% certain they were, were in fact City paid it all up front! Just because City did it, doesn't mean it's not the norm.

BOF Posted July 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yeah just to clarify. Using Man City as a financial example doesn't actually invalidate the original real world point It's also the case that small purchases like a £500k player might be done in one lump as well.

gharperr Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 "I like Veretout a lot, hard nosed, smart and decent touch, can do many things in midfield, he's been rather highly rated for a while and he delivered to expectations every step of the way basically. Of the 3 Jordans i'd bet on him to have the most success." From the only frenchy i can speak to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcwills10 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) If we can get him in we're really starting to take shape. Rather than something like Grealish-----Praet----- Gil Veretout-----Gueye I'd prefer Grealish---------Gil Veretout--Gueye Darder (sits a lot for Malaga). All exciting anyway, when I saw spurs were interested the other day I did research on him and was jealous!!

Demitri_C Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I don't give a flying **** where the money comes from. as long as we're signing players I really don't give a shit at this stage. Very true buddy- keep them coming Staying at Nice apparently (talk sport). He doenst play for Nice so great source there 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 If we get this guy in, I'd be happy with our midfield. Wouldn't be against one more signing, but I'd say we've got enough there now. Another striker, then try get rid of the rest of the deadwood before we look to bring anymore in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Get this lad in. Then Adebayor on loan for the season, one more striker and a CB and I think we are good to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 28, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2015 Opps ! I think I may. Have misheard ! As you were .... Probably the French guy Stoke were after. Plea, I think was his name. Think there was something on the BBC earlier about him staying, and I think he's at Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightysasquatch Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I think we will start the season looking something like this: ------------------Guzan/New Keeper------------------ Crespo------Richards-----------Clark---------Amavi ----------------Veretout-----------Gueye---------------- ------Ayew------------Gil/Praet--------Sinclair------- -------------------------Adebayor------------------------ Bench of: Bunn (or Guzan if new keeper signs), Okore, Hutton, Bacuna (Gil if Praet signs), Grealish, Sanchez, Agbonlahor I think that starting line up would make the majority of Villa fans very happy! Sinclair over Grealish...NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7392craig Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 don't mean to pick on anyone but can we please stop referencing their bloody ratings on FIFA....... Makes me cringe every time and I can't be the only one?! Sign of the times! Why bother watching someone play when FIFA can guess their ratings. Because not everyone has the means to watch every Ligue 1 game whereas a lot of people do have games such as FIFA and FM, so what's wrong with using that as a baseline judgement? And I can guarantee those types of comments only come out when talking about players who don't play in the Premier League, Championship or Champion's League, if we were trying to sign Joey Barton you wouldn't be seeing comments saying "well, he is rated high 70's on FIFA, he could be good" because most people will have seen someone like Barton regularly so can gauge his ability more from what they've seen rather than having to make hesitant guesses about his ability on the limited knowledge pool they have. Everyone has the means, but do they have the inclination! It's not really a baseline judgement it's some guy deciding a rating on how much they like the player or where they think they play, not for everyone but for most. FM i'll give you, they have an established network of scouts which have been operating for years and years and they sell their data to clubs. Discussing FIFA ratings starts conversation but more than anything it examples the lack of attention people give to rating a player. Many fans used to watch to judge, now they think FIFA can provide them a baseline opinion, it can't and it doesn't. it simply examples laziness, if you don't know about a player it's much better to say so or ask whether someone else does. Definitely not having a go at you though, just making a general point attributed to a previous discussion. Back on topic, Veretout is a prospect so once again Sherwood has done something we're not used to, beat the competition. Fair play to him. It's certainly not laziness, the ratings on Fifa are put in place by FIFPRO and are supposed to be an exact representation of the player, so as to play correctly based on the team/players you select. Even if they are not always exactly correct, it certainly is a good way of gauging a player you know nothing about. At least to start with until you can gather more information from people who know more about said player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
