They've identified an area so to speak, but I think it would be a great shame if they left, San Siro (if you haven't been) is absolutely beautiful. CL Final there this year, so have a look They've added (or a very close to) getting quite significant Chinese backing - only they don't have to change anything, just get the cash for advertising etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If AC want to get back in the big time they have to build their own stadium. Some of the plans I saw for the proposed new stadium looked amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take great pleasure in everyone telling him why he is wrong so I can show him this thread. What doesn't he like? The marauding runs up and down the left wing? The pinpoint crosses? The reading of the play and the interceptions? He's got great close control and his attitude also appears to be excellent which is a rare commodity these days it seems. Oh, he can slide tackle too. Yes he's young, he's raw and he made a couple of mistakes. One of them lead directly to a defeat, though you could argue he should never have been put in that position by his experienced keeper in the first place. That kind of thing happens to professional footballers, better ones than Jordan Amavi, all the time. Week in week out. He has been caught out of position once or twice, but in the modern game with modern full backs your midfield and your central defenders need to do more to cover. We were an organisational shambles at the time. Give him a decent coach and he'll go on to play for France, regularly, though it probably won't be for Aston Villa. If we get another year out of him we'll have done well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love us to keep hold of the kid, going to be a great player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 We've nursed this guy back to fitness, because of his injury he has been, so far, a waste of money. The least he can do is show some loyalty and give us a full season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a great player but a there's quite a few who don't rate him at all. These are probably the same people that chant Alan Hutton's name every time he kicks someone or gets sent off. Amavi is class and from what little I have seen of him this season he is up there with Ayew and Grealish in terms of quality and potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I know he's only played a few games for us but in my opinion, he has the potential to be world class and to be the best left back that has ever played for us. I think he is a fabulous footballer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hard to gauge his 'world class' credentials based on appearances for us but certainly has a lot of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 There are some press reports we may loan him to a Turkish club in view of coming straight up so we don't have to sell him. I would prefer promise until January and if we are nowhere near promotion then give him opportunity to leave. If we can keep him, Adama and grealish I think we have a very good chance of going up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Can't we just keep him and play him? The standard in Turkish top flight is no better than the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. He may just need some convincing. Fair enough too, it was crap last year for him no doubt. New country, 3 managers, major injury and relegation. However, a new manager in place and hopefully seeing a bit of quality arrive may just swing it. Hope so, would love to see him play for us again.

calcifer Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hopefully we can persuade him to stay, he has plenty of potential, but if the big clubs come calling we have no hope of keeping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted May 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2016 Pretty much all he tweets is retweets of villa fans saying how much they love him and want him to stay... I doubt he'd do that if he wanted away. I suppose agents sometimes force through transfers and pursuade players to move but I think he seems fairly set.
