Jordan Amavi - gone again

[Gregorys Boy]

The only issue I have with a signing like this that its another very young player who has no English League experience.  I understand that at the moment we have to go down the route of buying on the cheap, but a big reason why we have struggled over the past few years because of throwing too many in experience players in at the deep end.  For all the stick Richardson gets at least he does have the years under his belt and as he proved in the Cup Final can put in a good shift.  I just think we need to find the right balance between youth and experience. 

I don't see £10m as cheap for a LB. There's a difference between young players in the £1m bracket coming from Sheff Utd and a young £10m player who has been playing at a high level and rated the best LB in the league, who  is close to breaking into one of the better international teams in world football.

Fair point, but players don't always live up to the hype and fact is he hasn't played in England before.  Not saying that he isn't a good player, but sometimes even good players can't adapt to the PL. Time will tell.

Said on talksport we are close to signing Amavi. Often full of shit.

[Tom_Mc9?]

If we are, we are closing in on a Berson-length transfer saga.

When I hear stuff on there, it makes me believe it even less
Hope they are actually correct though

That was bizarre. Chased him for ages, finally signed him. He looked pretty reasonable, but was hardly ever picked for us.

If we don't sign him, then I think its worth mentioning that I'm a left back.

With the number of dodgy lawyers he knows he's bound to have one...

Let's hope the stuff about us being close to a deal for Amavi is true.

[Ron Manager]

Amavi isn't keen on coming That i  think we might agree on. But neither was Ashley Young. He wanted to go to Spurs but ended up at Villa Park Money talks and young Mr Amavi will hopefully find his way to Birmingham in the near future.

We need him.
