Jordan Amavi - gone again

[silhillvilla]

Maybe he's thrashing out personal terms .

[PaulWinch again]

I may be wrong and I hope I am, but I can't see this happening.

We've got to get away from these release clauses. If he still wants to go to Lyon like I was reading earlier, go to the next on the list. Our recruitment process should ensure that we always have a good few quality options in each position.

Only worry is how far the quality dips once we move onto Plan B or C of our targets. Bennett and Luna were probably plan Bs for example.

This lad isn't far away from getting into the main French squad which shows his quality.

Depends what's happening with the takeover. I'm surprised Gueye and Richards have joined to be honest and am also surprised Delph decided to stay. Makes you wonder what's going on and how much they're telling these players. If Benteke says he's staying and we sign this guy though I'd be even more surprised.

What good is that to us if he doesn't want to be here? As for Bennett/Luna, the recruitment process wasn't good enough then. It needs to be much better now and I was hearing during the season just that, that it is better. Hopefully that will show. We need to bring in a fair few quality players and there's only so long we can give people to show they want to be here.

[LeeB]

How about we just spend a bit of time and effort getting a really good player we want instead of settling for second best?

Bollocks to wether he has his heart set on being here at the start of the WMCA, just convince the fucker to sign.

[villan from luton]

I want any player who signs for us to want to be playing for Aston Villa Football Club

[LeeB]

I couldn't give a toss as long as they do the business and behave themselves.

[OCD]

Hopefully Sherwood would be able to convince him, especially if there was a takeover on the cards. My stance was only if he couldn't be convinced.

Don't want another Unsworth situation.

[Toronto Villa]

how does anyone know how he truly feels about joining us? We are fed information by the press and we choose to believe it. There might be other things involved that we haven't been told.

[OCD]

Being as there's been talk about him for weeks now and nothing's happening, the reports seem credible. Hopefully they're not but it would explain what's going on. Ideally the groundwork is being laid on a number of deals before a takeover goes through and will be rubber stamped once that's done. That's also a credible explanation and one that's nicer to hope for.

Bennett ?
Is that the joe Bennett that never gave edin hazard a kick a couple of seasons ago at vp simply because he had the crowd on his side.
I did a similar post a bout john Robson some time ago who was the boo boy for ages at vp until the crowd got on his side.
How good was Luna at arse when we did them ??
Get on any players back and you will see how bad they are, get on there side and then you will see how good they can be

I've been on Bennett's and Luna's side every single game they've played and it is telling that if you look beyond the two matches you mention, there aren't many other examples to come up with.

Neither looked anything like good enough to me. It's all well and good doing it once, but at this level, you have to be decent as near to all the time as you can.

I also don't really recall either of those players getting particular amounts of stick during matches.

Take on board what your saying but when have we ever put a Few games together to give these players a chance.
It's just the modern game with us all wanting instant success me included. I can remember ken mcnaughts first 4-5 games for us and if that was now he would of got dogs abuse and hounded out
