Condimentalist Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 He is a good player. There's a reason top clubs were after him. I'll be pleased if we keep him but I hope it's not buggering our finances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark Albrighton Posted July 12, 2017 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2017 Whether or not he was playing to be elsewhere, he was very well received by the supporters tonight. Stayed behind after the game to have pictures taken, sign autographs etc. As did Gabby and Samba. He comes across as a really likeable bloke. Wouldn't mind him sticking round. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillz Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thought he played really well last night. Dribbled past players with ease, overlapped really well and put in a number of dangerous crosses. All very impressive for a player who is apparently crocked. That being said he was hardly tested at all defensively last night which we all know is his biggest weakness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I wonder if we're looking to keep him now? He's been looking pretty decent in the pre-season, linking up very well with Andre Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His absence from the team doesn't represent a downgrade and there will probably be a £6m+ bid for him in the coming weeks. The only reason he stays IMO is if his knee is really fucd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Look hes our most valuable player to get rid of at the moment and he will likely be a back up. If we can get a decent price i would sell. Love to keep him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 If money were no object, I'd be fine keeping him, but it is an object, so I'm not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it really depends on how much we can get for him and whether or not we manage to sell the others that we're looking to shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 He looks a bag of nerves, his decision making is rushed and he gives the ball away too often. I like him but I think the injury has ruined him or has stunted his progression and it will take him another couple of seasons to get back to 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not very good on the wing but could do a job if called for. Edited July 24, 2017 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 24, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2017 I wonder if we're playing him for the shop window or are preparing him for a season with us. Certainly nothing can be very close or he wouldn't be playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael118 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 He's our best player by a distance in my opinion. It's baffling to me why we would want to sell him to raise funds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gives the ball away often, defensively his positioning is unsound, his crossing has become pretty terrible to the point where he seems unwilling to cross and would rather lay it off for someone else to do it. He's pretty easily beaten with the slightest of tricks. He's very unconvincing in the air Hasn't scored a goal since joining and not sure if he even has an assist(?). But yeah, aside from that he's our "best player". Edited July 25, 2017 by bannedfromHandV 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week it was Bacuna who was our best player, now it's Amavi, next week it'll be Richards 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him having a few assists for Gestede against Bournemouth away and Liverpool away under Sherwood in Amavi's first season 2015/16 I think, his crossing is generally good in my opinion Edited July 25, 2017 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
