One For The Road Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Such a shame it didn't work or for us as he will undoubtedly go on to much bigger and better things. The injury definitely hindered his progress for us but I think he will go on to be a fantastic player. Oh well. Thank goodness for Bikir.

sne Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Potentially great news for Amavi with his competitor on the left at Marseille Patrice Evra having a melt down and "Kung-fu" kicking a Marseille fan in the head before last nights game in the Europa League. Can't see him being able to remain in Marseille (Club or city) Edit: Guy in the Nike cap on the left must be related to Karim Benzema Edited November 3, 2017 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played 7 out of 11 games in the league and 3 out of 4 in the Europa League and has 2 assists. Not amazing, certainly not terrible. I imagine he had quite a bit of catching up coming from from our coaching set up and being totally shot of confidence after a dismal spell here after his injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not amazing, certainly not terrible. I imagine he had quite a bit of catching up coming from from our coaching set up and being totally shot of confidence after a dismal spell here after his injury. Yeah he had some interesting words on that a few weeks back. Quote Jordan Amavi has spoken of his disappointment at not being able to regather his form for Aston Villa before leaving for Marseille. Amavi suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury while on international duty in 2015 which ended his maiden season in England. This frustratingly came after a promising start to his Villa career, but by the time he was ready to return the claret and blues found themselves in the Championship. But despite this, he looks back on his time at Villa Park with a sense of “what if”. “To play and not be able to show what I was capable of, with Aston Villa and in the English second division, at that time, it was hard, yes,” Amavi told L’Equipe . “It was frustrating not to be able to regain all my abilities. I knew I needed almost as much time out with the injury to get back to 100%. “The coach, Roberto Di Matteo, believed a lot in me. But my body did not respond as before. I couldn’t do the same things: take the ball, go ahead, strike, centre the ball. “And then there was a change of coach with the arrival of Steve Bruce. I had a little softening off then, which was normal after I stopped for nine months. “The coach even thought I had problems at home, when not at all!” Bruce, who signed Neil Taylor last January, was reluctant to let Amavi go in the window and would have retained him but for the money Marseille offered. “There’s been talk all summer,” Bruce said after the initial loan deal came about in the summer. “I want to wish him the best of luck. He’s a smashing pr “He had a horrific injury, unfortunately at the wrong time for him. “Since I’ve been at the club he’s one of those where he’s never been a problem. “However the money that we’re getting obviously is good business for both parties and we wish him the best of luck.” http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jordan-amavi-former-aston-villa-13764209 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was on the Marseille forum a few weeks ago looking for Reviews on Amavi they were anything but complimentary towards Evra. Looks like they were getting stuck into him and he retaliated. Poor from both their fans and especially Evra for reacting in that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Whether he will go on to be a good player or not.....post injury, we could not get back the player we bought. it happens, we have to move on, we did. We have our objectives and we have to have players who can meet them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) I get the feeling he enjoyed playing for us and living in England despite our struggles. Certainly attempted to adapt better than Veretout did. Edited February 11, 2018 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
