Jordan Amavi - gone again

[Brend'Watkins]

He frightens the life out of me in his defensive role. He is a liability, for every one good thing he does ( the cross for McCormack) there are 3 bad or horrendous things he will do in every game.

[mr underhill]

we need to find a different position for him, or take the £25m asap

[oswald funkletrumpet]

His pace gets him out of trouble, put that pace at the other end of the field and it will hurt teams

it shouldnt be that hard to work out

There is no £25m and it's probably best we get that out of our heads.

Even if there was such a bid it would be reliant on a promising young French U21 player agreeing to effectively piss his career up the wall by going to China.

Some pacey fullbacks manage to do both.  No need to change his position, just utilise him more.

[BOB MANSFIELD]

Manure's turned a winger or two into a full back...Valencia, Young etc. and we changed Kenny Swain into an England class full back. But it it a matter of what's between their ears, that enables it to happen. And being able to transmit that from Geordie into French is going to be a good trick !

Apart from the fact he cant defend and is a liability

In the championship never mind the pl

[wittonwarrior]

He gave up when he got turned for the goal. Blame Johnstone as much as want at least he showed commitment

[supertom]

It would be insanity to let Cissokho go with how Amavi is playing. Frankly we need to sign two new left backs and bin both of them. Neither is good enough and if we could get something silly for Amavi, as quoted, then I'd be all for it, on the proviso we've signed someone.

[ChicagoLion]

Amavi has real potential, if he can cut out the mistakes and concentrate he could be a top player.
One of few Villa players with talent.

[Goldie.7]

He's already gone and it's no great loss.

If we'd signed someone by now it wouldn't, but we haven't and we desperately need to drop Amavi. I've got everything crossed we sign a left back before the weekend, but we've still got to sign 2-3 midfielders and a striker before we even consider that position.
Much like Gestede though, I think shipping out players and leaving yourself short is asking for trouble. Cissokho is a shade better defensively than Amavi. Not saying much, but he is.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

3 out and 1 in

so a minimum of 5 to come in

[ozzjim]

Have to think a left back and right back are on the agenda.  We have no cover at all. Desperately sorry at centre half too, paper thin midfield, no proper pace and 2 centre forwards.

Apart from that, everything is just marvellous!
