Jordan Amavi - gone again

[pauliewalnuts]

I'm still disturbed at how long this is dragging out.

He definitely doesn't want to come.

[ciggiesnbeer]

when's he join up?

Monday.

""There were a lot of clubs after him this summer so we are really pleased to welcome him to the Club."

Amavi will meet his new team-mates for the first time on Monday."

Probably because we've been gazumped after meeting his release cause and now we won't up the ante.

Just goes to show what a shambles of a club we've become and what an inept twat that Fox character is.

Probably just a cover to allow Randy to siphon of a few million extra by sending the release fee to Delaware anyway.

[pauliewalnuts]

Just watching his (obligatory) youtube clips.

Fuck me, he likes to get forward, doesn't he? Confident fucker on the ball, too.

I wonder if we'll punt Cissokho out somewhere.

[KRS]

Well we need 2 players in each position so I'd imagine we'd keep Richardson as back up for Amavi rather than Cissokho...if some fucker will take him for a couple of million.

edit:
Cissokho could be on his way to Italy: linky thing

[pauliewalnuts]

Aston Villa fullback Aly Cissokho is in talks with Italian clubs.

Sky Italia says Cissokho is close to signing with Genoa.

With the arrival of Jordan Amavi, Villa boss Tim Sherwood is keen to offload players he deems fringe and the Frenchman falls into that category.

Genoa have beaten Napoli and Fiorentina to his signature.

Lucky Napoli and Fiorentina.

15m and they can have him

I think that's his brother not Aly going there

Sherwood has been impressed with Bennett in training too apparently so it will be interesting to see who gets the understudy role.

Welcome to The Villa, Jordan.

Looking forward to seeing you rampaging down the line at Walsall!

I think I'd let Bennett and Kinsella be the backup at left back for a year and see if between those 2 and Amavi we get a couple of decent options.  Cissokho can go, I don't dislike him as much as most on here but the simple fact is that can't cross the street let alone a ball and I just don't see the point of fullbacks who can't offer that now, it's as fundamental a part of the job as anything else.  Given that Amavi doesn't affect the 25player squad I'd probably hold on to Richardson as a utility cover for the left side and central midfield but I'd not want to see him get much game time.

[OCD]

Kinsella would benefit from regular first team football (as would most of the kids) so I would probably have Bennett as back-up. I would probably be prepared to let Richardson go but not be too upset if he stayed.

Cissokho was the best of a bad lot defensively. I don't know what happened to his crossing. In the Newcastle home game he was putting in some great crosses and I remember cursing the fact that Benteke wasn't fit as he would have a field day with those crosses. His crossing quickly detiorated. Messi would have looked crap in that Lambert team though so our opinions are inevitably skewed. He'll probably look decent in a good Italian side.

[brontebilly]

Sherwood is obviously very keen on Amavi and fair play to the club for getting him in eventually.

hoping the left back curse is broken - Cissokho, Bennett, Warnock, Shorey, Samuel

a right hall of shame

[LeeB]

Isn't it just.

[villadelph]

Saw a picture of him along side the trophy cabinet, seems excited.
