It says on Wikipedia that he plays for us - must be true then.
It says Accrington Stanley currently ....

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.

I never knew that about A Young. Suppose it was nearer to where he was living/playing at the time I suppose (if nothing else).

Can we say that for sure? Maybe he prefers to stay in France, but that's not the same as he doesn't want to join us.

The received wisdom at the time was he chose us over Spurs.

Indeed didn't the Watford manager at the time, name escapes me moved on and got sacked, say that we were a better club for him to join. Don't forget we were a decent team then.

Yep. Mainly on advice from his dad who acted as his agent at the time, and who was convinced by MoN.

I thought it was between us and West Ham, who were chucking money around trying to stay up, for Young.

We were still a bit crap when he signed. Him and Carew pushed us up to "not too shabby".

Isn't Aidy Boothroyd now in a pretty good job at the FA on the youth side of things?

Didn't his Watford side use to play a slightly "agricultural" style of football?

Yes he is, met him in Reflex on Broad Street as him and my missus were both singing along to a cheesy 80s song. Seemed a nice bloke and a little bit sizzled. He'd been coaching the team that day I think.

We were an 'emerging' team rather than the 'wallowing' outfit we have been the last few years.

Twitter suggests that we've bought Amavi for €15m.
