Jordan Amavi - gone again

[Brend'Watkins]

Says it all really that when one of your players puts in a transfer request and it's met with shrugs of the shoulders rather than an outburst of anger and rancour.

That's because he has been a major disappointment.

That's what peter is intimating.

Jordan?

Jordan?

Need pics.

Sorry, read it as 'imitating'.

I stand by my view that in three years time, provided he gets no more horrible injuries, he'll be an excellent left back.  I hope get a good fee and a healthy percentage of future sale.

I agree, last season was always a tough one after such a nasty injury, it's really not unusual for players in this situation to have 6-12 months where they're up and down.  Even accounting for that I think a lot of people are letting his drop off in form from mid-December mask that he'd been one of our best players for the season until that point.

I didn't think a whole lot of Gueye, in all honesty.  But at a more settled club he has come on leaps and bounds. 

Amavi has shown his quality for us in the past and I'd expect even more from him.  A move is probably best for all concerned, but yes, hopefully we'll play smart for a change and include a sell on fee.

Won't lose any sleep thought he was terrible last year

I wasn't sure if I was imagining it or not so I went back to check some posts from November/December. He was getting rave reviews back then "He's only going to get better and better", "if we continue this form maybe he'll consider staying" etc. I really think he's a decent player, but absolutely not suited to how we've been playing under Bruce. In a team that keeps the ball more, with some movement on and off the ball, I'm sure he'd look a darn site better than a team that soaks up pressure and plays on the break (I think that's been our plan).

Whatever the reason though, it doesn't look like he'll fit in here so it's best we sell him for as much as we can get, with a sell on fee. I'm sure he'll do well elsewhere, and comes across like a decent bloke that cares about the club. Good luck to him.

You obviously missed my posts then!

Breaking news: #AVFC and @SevillaFC agree the transfer of @JordanAmavi, subject to medical testing...

Good luck for the future, Jordan.

Good luck Jordan and hope we have a big sell on fee

[pauliewalnuts]

Utterly mediocre. No loss.

[Clampy]

I think there's a decent player there. The injury definatley set him back but good luck to him.

[eric woolban woolban]

Hopefully get decent enough money.
Poor player I'm afraid. Will have forgot he played for us in three years.

Reported to be £8m plus add ons. A bit short of our glorious leaders expectations in December.
