Qwpzxjor1 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 He's just retweeted a couple of things about him being a potential villa legend and one guy saying 'stay and I'll buy you a beer'.

Will be a weapon in the Championship, a league where Lowton and Bennett have shone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/aston-villa-star-saying-all-the-rights-things-may-actually-stay Aston Villa star saying all the rights things, may actually stay A year ago Jordan Amavi must have been hugely excited about the season ahead of him. Not yet signed by Aston Villa, Amavi was much wanted and several clubs approached his then club Nice. A move to the Premier League was predicted to shine a brighter light on the youngster's talents, and, whilst it was a long shot, there was the chance of making France's squad for Euro 2016. A terrible injury soon into his Aston Villa career, whilst playing for France's U21 team, ruined everything, and Amavi had to watch as his new club were relegated. Given all of that, it would be understandable if Amavi wanted to cross the last year off his CV, leave Villa and start again. That doesn't appear, at least outwardly, to be what's on his mind right now. Speaking to France Football, Amavi didn't take the opportunity to say he's looking for a way out of Aston Villa. On his move to Villa, the reason, and France disappointment, Amavi explained: "Some people thought I had hopes to go with the France team, I primarily went to England because I liked this Championship. The France team, it will come when it will come. Now I want to string together a full season." On English football, Amavi said: "The intensity of the matches and the supporters (is something good). While in Nice, I had a very nice atmosphere, in England, it is everywhere, in all levels. There is such passion from the first to the last minute... For me, this is the best Championship, all the matches are great to play. I adapted well, too bad it did not last long this season. But I have no regrets having signed there." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Amavi is a good lad. He's always given his all for this club and even through injury been a huge supporter on Twitter and the like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew alot of people would forget just how bad this guy was at defending when he played for us at the start of the season. He was at fault for a goal pretty much every game he played. Of course people forget this and remember the fact that he is good getting forward and full of energy. He needs to sort out his positioning and improve his defending if he is going to make it as a premier league player, never mind world class (whatever that means). I'll give him a pass for now given that Sherwood was the manager when he was playing so god knows what BS tactics/training (if any) he got. A compotent manager might be able to get him defending better as part of a unit rather than just running all over the place.

villa4europe Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 he sounds very level headed and like a kid who just wants to play football, he'll get a better chance here than anywhere else thats for sure can remember his debut (i think) vs swindon in pre season, you could see him grinning ear to ear at the villa fans making a racket and there was only a few hundred of us, i think he'll get a right buzz next season when we travel in numbers to away games and take over places and make some noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 I would think that if he's loaned out he will get to retain his PL salary, and not the reduced salary as per his relegation clause (if he has one that is). Hopefully Dr. X will be able to look at the salary reductions of players RDM wants to keep but need persuading to stay. If we can convince Amavi, Ayew, Adama and Gana that the bigger picture is rosy, maybe we can hold on to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be ok with Gana leaving, but would be over the moon if we can have Amavi, Traore and Ayew in our first 11 next season - them 3 on fire would be too much for any team in the division including NUFC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To call him fabulous at this stage, is indeed up there with your usual over hyping of players. Potential - I agree with but he's got one hell of a long way to go. Defensively, he wasn't great at all.

Fair to say that Ayew demonstrated enough quality last season to suggest that the Championship would be a walk in the park for him. He's easily good enough to play in the premier league so should be a top player in the championship. Adama showed enough in his appearances, especially against Palace, Sunderland and Arsenal, to suggest that he would be a quality player in the championship. It's a shite league, I seriously doubt most defences will deal with his pace and dribbling ability. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
