Helpfully it's nothing too serious. he's had stitches in his foot apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 He has played only 574 minutes since a season long injury. Only twice on TV. Just sayin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 So far, I'd say he 'ok'. Can't say he's worth the £10m odd that we paid for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted November 8, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 8, 2016 He's getting steadier, which is something. I'm not unhappy with him currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Amavi is a " gun" player. Its better to have him and not need him than need him and not have him. With that in mind, we should look for backup in January, because it would be bad news if he is injured. Probably someone versatile who can play both sides of the pitch.

With regards Amavi, I am willing to give him time. I think back to Delph when he came back from long term injuries, he was pants for a long time and most on here slagged him. Then he got his confidence back and hit some form and became one of our best players receiving International recognition. I'll probably get grief for this because of the player mentioned, but I reckon if you read through his thread most on here were positive on him until his U-turn.

Popular Post chrisvilla4 Posted November 8, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2016 Wow. The guys been out for almost his first season with us due to a horrific injury. Bit soon to be saying he's Shyte. Hes stuck with us and I bet he could have moved to the prem if he wanted. Cut him some slack. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 He's improving steadily, with more game time to increase his sharpness he will only get better. It's a serious injury that he's had, I never thought he'd play for us again. It would be ludicrous to consider selling him now. Let's try supporting our players and see where it takes us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I wasn't too sure he was going to be all that, even before the injury. Luckily we are no longer in a position where we need to sell, so we have time to see if he reaches his (pre injury) potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, hard for him to convince you when you only seen him what, 2 times this season? The general fanbase since he signed tbh. I don't know how many times I've seen him. It's probs more than 2. kind of a moot point though because I'm posting my opinion. FINE for you to disagree of course and it's a valid point but I can't change the amount of times I've currently seen him, nor will my opinion change based on what I havent seen.

Zatman Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 btw when I suggested selling Amavi I wasnt suggesting for a cut price fee or to nearest bidder. Was meaning a good bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Always liked Amavi and you can see he is gradually getting back to full strength and fitness. Bruce has obviously worked on his defending and as such Amavi's positioning is getting better and less mistakes are being made. His forays forward tend to come more in the second half, but I think that is a tactic by Bruce, the whole team saves energy until the last 30-40 mins then really go for it.

Adama moved to the prem and you could reasonably argue Amavi made more of a positive impression last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I still think he's great. Not quite the same pre injury, as in he doesn't seem to bomb forward and go past players as often. I hope that'll return as he gets more confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
