Warming the bench at champions league club (and potentially being an injury away from starting v Barcelona in last 16) or warming at mid table championship club. Tough choice....

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Wanted 10 - 12 mill, but to be honest 8 million pounds in the kitty can do a fair bit in another area. Quote Aston Villa set to offload Jordan Amavi to Sevilla for £8m just seven months after rejecting £25m offer for defender Aston Villa left-back Jordan Amavi is closing on a move to Sevilla. The Spanish side had a £5.2million bid rejected last week but have returned with an improved £6.2m offer plus another £1.8m in add-ons. The 23-year-old French full-back joined Villa from Nice in 2015 for £9m. He impressed early on but suffered a knee ligament injury after just 12 appearances. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4662934/Aston-Villa-set-offload-Jordan-Amavi-Sevilla-8m.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I really want to like him and see him succeed, especially after his injury and initial tidy start when he first joined but he makes so many simple mistakes that have nothing to do with the injury or the prospect of a tooth tackle coming in. There are obviously signs there's a quality player in there but if he can't keep his concentration and push on from when he arrived then where do we go. I could see us selling him on and him coming good as we can forget how young he is, however, I could see him just sinking into mediocrity and coasting in the lower half of the French league for the rest of his career too. Hopefully a full pre-season and the competition with Taylor will make him focus and push on but if a good monetary offer was to come in, I'd probably take it as the phrase that comes to mind is stagnation. Hope he proves me wrong as he was the signing I was most looking forward to when he arrived. Sevilla would be a good move for him but since his injury he has shown very little I'm afraid. A left back playing at the same standard for Burton Alli this past year would not be a subject of a £8m bid from Sevilla. He just doesn't seem to fit in.

There is some quality in him but long before the injury he seemed to make inexplicable mistakes. In his defense Villa hasn't been the best place to nurture and bring young talent through for, well, for a very long time. But if you get dropped by Tim Sherwood, and it's the correct decision, then that tells me something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 8 Million and a 10% or 20% sell on clause will be sufficient. He may go onto be a better player.. and be sold for 25 million one day. We can recoup the fee that way. Let him go 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Meh disappointing fee only 6.5 plus addons we will probably never get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2017 I would rather a bigger fee now without the sell on. I have seen absolutely nothing to make be even mildly ponder that he might be a top player one day. If a sell on fee comes with a penalty personally I wouldn't bother.

Condimentalist Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I like Amavi but in our situation you could argue he's a luxury. I think he could be a decent mid table Premiership player - if we're OK for money is rather we kept him but he may think he has better options and we may prefer to spend elsewhere.

AndyM3000 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 There is a player in there somewhere and Id rather keep him. With JT/Chester in defence the communication will be better and it will help the defensive side of his game, there is no doubt he has ability on the ball/crossing/pace. I said it before he was thrown around all down that left side last season, in all sorts of formations. Pick a formation and sticking to it would help him no end IMO, the constant changes were part of the problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Reports saying its practically done. 7m with 2m in add ons. hopefully there is a sell on fee as I think he will move on for big money after Sevilla. Will wish him well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, should have added oops Quote Aston Villa transfer only lacking the cherry on top to be official By Sport Witness Team - 5th July 2017 A few days ago it was reported that Sevilla have not only agreed personal terms with Jordan Amavi, but have also agreed a transfer fee with Aston Villa, the latter being the much more difficult task of the two. El Desmarque reported that Sevilla had offered €7m plus a further €2m in bonuses, and Aston Villa had accepted that as being close enough to their €10m asking price. A good deal for everyone involved, which rarely seems to be the case. Since then it’s gone a little quiet, but Marca believe the deal is on the verge of being completed. Amavi to Sevilla is one of three potential summer transfers to the Spanish which are missing only the ‘cherry’ on top to become official. One would assume Marca are referring to the technical aspects of a transfer, such as the legal paperwork, and Amavi successfully going through his medical tests. The transfer is said to be in the ‘final stretch’, but there’s no suggestion an announcement is imminent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will wish him well I would be sorry to see him go but it looks like we need some money and he is the most saleable asset we have whose sale might not currently cause too many ripples in the first team squad as he rarely gets a game now. I would like to know how likely we are to get anything back from those unspecified add-ons. Given the current exchange rate they would be getting a bargain for an initial cash payment of around £6.5m so I would want a sell on fee of 20% as well because I also think Sevilla will make money on the deal when he leaves them. I would also wish him well if he does go but do they have say a keeper they can loan us to sweeten the deal? Edited July 5, 2017 by John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted July 5, 2017 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) I honestly think despite his current squad position that mooted fee is on the low side for Amavi who I feel once settled will again turn out to be more than a decent left sided player in an inflated transfer market. There's an obvious dearth of decent left sided players available. Really surprised there's no offers from the Premiership particularly Liverpool.

Popular Post BOF Posted July 5, 2017 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2017 In the short term this is a win-win-win. The player gets to re-start his career at a more representative level. Villa get to use the financial resources from liquidating a player who was becoming peripheral, plus the FFP benefits, and obviously Sevilla are getting what I have always believed to be a cracking player and the next full-time French leftback. I've no doubt he'll go on to great things. I think he'll be far more suited to a better team and a more attacking approach where his flair can thrive. My only hope is that we have put a sell-on clause into his move because I can see him at least tripling his value if and when he does move on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
