It was just like god forbid anything ever happened in Brum then it would affected the Brummies in our squad slightly more than the other players. I'm sure he's devastated non the less. Only about 1,5h -2h drive from Toulon to Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I was in Paris on the 13th of November last year. Within a km of the attacks. Yes it was frightening, yes it was stressful, but I was still able to function. I still went to work on the Monday. I guess it might affect some people more than others, but I'd find it really odd if it were to affect a professional footballer to such extreme lengths. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Couple of sites already running stories, bigger ones expected to link him to Liverpool tomorrow according to a couple of decent enough French football Twitter accounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Pat Murphy on Twitter says he knows nothing of any interest ... he said he wants to stay think he feels owes club least a season after being out injured and helped back to fitness.He may go but don't think it be this Window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Every time I've seen him or seen his Twitter he seems very happy here so i hope not you never know we might actually have a kid who knows what's good for him and knows he's probably not ready for a £20m move to Liverpool, get some football here first and then get a proper move, whilst them lot happily throw Moreno on their scrap heap of players they turned on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 clubs wont part big money for Amavi as they have no idea what his fitness will be like. January will be trickier though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 He's the one player I'd give anything to keep. He will tear the championship apart down the left. Liverpool will be too big a club for him to resist. They pay us the money then he's off . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow1988 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 He hasn't played any of the warm up games has he? I don't think anyone is going to take a chance on him if he hasn't at least done that much so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that he would have a medical and what not but usually the fee would be agreed by then but he hasn't played football in 9 months or so. Bit risky to splash the cash as I don't think that we would be selling on the cheap either. With regards to the holding him back, I don't think RDM would do that. It would be a bit like cutting off your nose to spite your face.... Surely he would want him fit as possible for pre season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) I can’t see anyone coming in for him yet and certainly not an upper table Premier League club. He will be seen as a very promising player but still very much unproven. He has 10 Prem League games under his belt and another 50 odd for Nice and has not played for over 8 months after a serious knee injury. The only way I’d possibly see it happening in this window is if he has a ridiculously low, sub 7 mill, release clause.

Use those funds for a striker... If Amavi can provide the bullets for good aerial strikers like the ones we already have, then he could be worth the price of promotion. If Liverpool offered us £15m I'd ask them to find a good lubricant, roll the offer into a conical shape and, well you know the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
