Stevo985 Posted December 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2016 Wasn't the 25m supposedly from China? I wonder if we'd have turned it down if it was from, say, Liverpool or Arsenal etc? I mean, I'm guessing it's a possibility that Amavi said "I don't want to go to China". Makes it much easier for Villa to "reject" the bid. If Arsenal or someone like that came calling and Amavi wanted to go then I wonder if the club would be as quick to reject the bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 the 25mill is irrelevant to us. If Amavi's head has gone and he wants to leave for whoever then he will not play well for us. A bid is bid, so if someone had only bid 5mill and it turned his head he'd still be shit for us. The fact that 25mill is a lot of money means we could buy a good enough replacement with loose change for other targets. BUT! The real problem is Finding a LB at a notoriously difficult time. Having said that We may be weakened by selling him and we may be weakened by playing him if he's shit (but less shit than Cissokho) Man management is what is needed here. SB SR & DrT have to sit him down and tell him "Son, you're going nowhere now, get your head down and play football. Come end of this season and if we dont go up - we can talk again then" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking along these lines myself. Bit of good PR for the club to reject a £25M bid from a club the player had no intention of moving to.

Dr_Pangloss Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 He's decent, but not that good, as I've said before, he has a lot of lapses in him, he's not going to turn out to be a top left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that to do with the supposed 25m bid? I mean, how much would he have earned from that deal that he has missed out on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I dont think he was ever amazing defensively though looks bit more comfortable in Championship decent on the ball but nothing too dangerous in opposition half 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toward the end, Grealish played a ball out to him and he put in a cracking ball... but no-one was there of course. That's what he provides going forward. Very hit and miss today. Couple of good tackles and clearances, couple of poor positions and at fault for their second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 He isn't improving at all, defensively or offensively, putting Cissokho back in and having £25m to spend on other areas mightn't be the end of the world. I've been willing to give him time after his injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Thought he did ok today barring the slip up leading to their second. obviously he is being told to lump it forward though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
