I wonder what effect this'll have on our other transfer activity? Yes , the evening mail has also confirmed it's off - Seville are looking elsewhere - we'd be lucky to get £3m should anyone take the risk on him now.

KSV Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 He played 36 games.. cant be that risky. Although he was shit in about 34 of them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Where do we send our players when they get injured....seriously? 1. I don't know of any other club that gets serious injuries at the rate we do. 2. I don't know of any other club that when players come back they look completely shot to bits.

If he's stuck here which seems to be the case then he has no choice but to put a shift in. Could have quite an effect on him - a five year deal at one of the better clubs in Spain snatched away and having to come back to the championship - at least he's cover for Taylor I suppose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 10, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2017 Failing a medical doesn't necessarily mean he won't move somewhere else. Whatever it is that the medical has shown up will now be "known" and he'll be on the market, if anyone is interested, with that in the open. It'll mean we'll likely get less money for him, but a player failing a medical isn't a blanket no for any clubs to buy him. I think people often misinterpret what a medical is for. I wouldn't be surprised to still se Amavi leave this window if the appetite is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Demitri_C Posted July 10, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2017 Well if this means a lower fee I would rather keep him here. i think he is a decent player just had a rocky season 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I am secretly (ok, not secretly) delighted if this has fallen through. It could be a massive blessing. I think he has a hell of a lot to offer, especially if more of a right winger than a defender. An area we are currently lacking in. I think his injury has taken a bigger toll on him than maybe some realised but I have faith, given time, he could be a massive player for us. Someone not wanting to risk a large portion of their budget on a new player is not the same as them being crocked. Besides, it's not unknown for those with knee 'issues' to have excelled at our club...! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan_007 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Not really surprised. Very serious injury that many dont fully return from. He didnt look the same player to me. Similar to okore. See some have the knives out already like its the clubs fault. Laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Bad news. Think we were relying on getting money in for him. Was poor when he arrived and was even worse after his injury.

villa89 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Terrible to see this thread back from "Other Football". Hopefully we can get rid of him by re-working the terms of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodsBarkeep Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Call me cynical, but I reckon Sevilla will try and haggle the price down now! Not sure how much this screws up other transfer plans, but perhaps he's still to find his feet after such a lengthy injury, and could even provide decent cover, especially if we end up playing three centre backs as some have speculated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 According to the secret footballer a 'Failed medical' is an excuse used for all sorts of issues. Could be that they can't agree terms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not being cynical, that's being completely logical. If the medical has uncovered a previously unknown (to Sevilla) issue then of course they'd haggle the price down, if they still want him at all.

LakotaDakota Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Didin't Aly Cissokho fail a medical at Milan apparently because they didn't like his teeth? Nothing actually wrong with him but they said his goofy teeth may lead to a future health problem. Aly always said it was just crap, he passed the medical with no issues but Milan wanted to renegotiate payment for him and when they couldn't agree terms they pulled out and said he failed the medical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
