sexbelowsound Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Okore was a really coup when he signed. He's been pretty naff. Apart from having a fancy name what makes this player any good? £10million is a bloody lot of money for a French defender. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was actually pretty good when he played last season except for the last few games when he was playing through injury. Jesus Christ. The guy was literally out for over a year just after signing and did quite well to come back so strongly from it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClarrieBlue Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 http://www.ogcnice.com/fr/actualite/24256/accord-pour-le-transfert-damavi Agreement for the transfer of Amavi An agreement was reached Saturday for the transfer of Jordan Amavi Aston Villa (Premier League ) . Jordan Amavi has not participated in the movement in Belgium on Friday to compete in the second friendly match of Aiglons . While his teammates were on the road to Waregem , the young left-back ( 21 ) took the direction of England. And an agreement was found on Saturday afternoon with Aston Villa for the transfer. That was quick. It's only been Saturday afternoon for 42 mins An hour and 42 mins in France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Not usually one to watch those YouTube highlight videos myself, but I'm liking what I see of Amavi. Seems like a lively yet hard hitting defender, some real sharp tackles in there... what I like to see. To be honest though, we could be bringing in Postman Pat and I'd be happy. Anything that's positive for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Amazingly I think defense has now become one of our strongest areas. I mean Bacuna and Hutton both put in a shift on the right. Richards seems comfortable in the center and we also have Okore and Clark who are great in that role as well. If we have Cissokho and Amavi fighting for left back then we have a stellar back four. Not to mention based on what I saw of Bunn yesterday he seems like he could actually be a pretty tidy number 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him a chance at least, before we declare him shite! Jeez! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted July 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 18, 2015 Good. We needed a left back and we've finally spent proper money on one rather than the recent collection of fill ins, cheap and hopefuls. I hope he fulfils his potential here and I think he'll make us better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Okore and Richards in a standard back four could be immense. Though that said we could also play a back three of Richards, Okore and Clark with Bacuna and Amavi as wing backs.. Defense is solid in almost any formation possible. Anyone writing of Okore already is writing off a player with some insane potential going forward, there is a reason Chelsea wanted this lad.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
