dubbs Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Might be best all round if he moves back to France. Looked great when he joined then had the injury. Hasn't been anywhere near the player he was since. I'd wish him well if he left to move abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tismyk Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Jordan Amavi looks set to leave Aston Villa this summer, after the defender confirmed he had been placed on the transfer list. Amavi joined Villa in the summer of 2015 before their relegation from the Premier League. He made 34 appearances last season, but following the claret and blues' failure to win promotion back to the top flight at the first attempt, wants a move to meet his ambitions Aston Villa's Jordan Amavi during the defeat to Reading Amavi told French daily the Nice-Matin: "We spoke with Aston Villa, I was upfront with them, the club were in return. "If I have to leave, there will be no problem. "I have ambitions. I want to play in Europe, for a club that play in all the competitions. "There are clubs that have come to enquire and we've talked, even if there is nothing concrete yet," Amavi added. "I love the Premier League, it is the league that I like enough, but I am open to other countries. "If the sporting challenge is interesting, I will go ahead, I won't think twice." Amavi has been linked with Liverpool, Marseille, Monaco, Atletico Madrid and former club Nice during his time at Villa. In December, Villa were said to have turned down a £25m bid from an unnamed club from China. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/ive-been-placed-transfer-list-13202026 ADVERTISEMENT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted June 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 18, 2017 Good luck to him. I'm sure we'll get a decent fee, Taylor did fine last season, and Amavi never seem to rediscover his earlier form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 One of the worst left backs I've seen in recent times, good riddance, was shit last season at an awful standard of football. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 No great loss although I'd be amazed if we got the sort of money xia implied had been offered last year . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still clubs interested in him. I still reckon with the crazy prices around we'll get about 15m for him due to how highly rated he was before joining us. To me he's the most obvious player to sell to help with FFP which won't weaken our first team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post theboyangel Posted June 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2017 I certainly wouldn't call him the worst ever left back but his time has come to an end without him reaching his potential. I'd largely square that at the horrific injury sustained on international duty, for which he's never looked 100% since. Currently he isn't as good as taylor at left back and behind others for lm. As he is 'saleable' may as well cash in on him. i wish him luck. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jackbauer24 Posted June 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2017 There's still a large part of me that feels we may regret this one. No he's not hit the heights of his early career here but some of that has to be down to injury and some of the general upheaval at the club. I don't know, I just think he's got more potential than the likes of Traore had or even Kodjia has - we've not seen his best yet. I'll wish him luck if/when he leaves but of all the players we have at the club I think we may look back with regret on this one and to be so dismissive after one failed season seems harsh. I hope I'm wrong of course and we get loads of money for someone who never hits those heights again! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Mixed Feelings on this. Don't know if he really is shite, or if we have Villad him and made him temporarily shite. Either way he can sod off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The worst left back we've ever had? Seriously? Anotonio luna says hello 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Just like with Okore, injuries ruined what could have a very good signing for us. Unlike Okore I still think Amavi might go on to have a good career. But probably not here. Hope he gets a good move and that we get good money. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be better to exaggerate, using end of the world worst ever insults? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 That's a shame, but Taylor has turned out to be very capable so no great loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good doctor is no fool though and I'm sure will add numerous clauses into any sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The fact that Taylor looks twice the player than Amavi shows you how shit Amavi is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 18, 2017 Sell sell sell. On the basis we turned down £25m in January I expect at least £30m..........unless the £25m was made up of course which I am sure it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 18, 2017 Got the talent but didn't look interested last season, am sure he wants to be somewhere else so now he can be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue next summer when we are saying the same thing about Kodjia and De Laet, we seriously have terrible luck with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
