Jordan Amavi - gone again

[frank black]

They have a reputation for doing this sort of thing - they could easily come back in to try and nab him on a loan or at a massively reduced fee.

Which indeed they have done.

As far as Amavi is concerned it's a buyers market as no one else is in for him I believe ? If so a season long loan at 50k per week for nine months frees up nearly £2m in wages . If they then want him it will mean he's had a good season so we might get far more than £8m as others will want him too. Don't see him in our first team and we've already said the squad is way too big so offload at all costs, we need to be very careful with our money now.

Glad you're not in our negotiating team. No try before you buy, pay up or walk on. This sort of sharp practice makes my blood boil they had no intention of doing the deal and apparently had been enquiring about a loan since the initial approach

Hey, Frank - you're not working with David Davis on Brexit, are you?

If they want him and he passed the medical (which he may or may not have done depending on who you believe) then they will be back (which they are). I wouldn't sell him for penny piece less and suggest we stay strong and stable.

I think we could get the deal back on if people were a bit more patriotic.

Hear hear!

As with Gil, if any team wants Amavi, Gil Vertout or anyone else for that matter, why can't we stipulate that the loan will only go ahead with a sell on deal at the end of the loan. If the clubs wishing to loan don't like it, FFS tell them to do one. This should also be said to the players agents as well!!!

[eamonn]

If we're desperate to get them off the books we are in less of a position to dictate terms. James Rodriguez has just gone to Bayern from Real on a two-year loan deal. If it's good enough for them...

[London Villan]

He'll get himself injured tonight.

[exigo]

He'll get himself injured tonight.

He's already busy hammering crosses into the first defender, so it's very possible.

[jwarry]

Thought he looked good tonight to be honest

[Matt Collins]

Yeah very good - but obviously afainst bad opposition

[avfcpg]

He showed glimpses of just what he is capable of, when fully fit. Albeit against poor opposition..

[Matt Collins]

He's looked pretty rapid - perhaps now more over the injury

But hard to tell if it was the oppo

And not tested defensively which is the problem

[kippaxvilla2]

Looks like it's definitely happening now.  The manager has just said it's very close.

[kieron]

Jordan Amavi - deal on

[Duncan Shaw]

"Pulled him off the bus" as very close according to Bruce

[brian green]

L'Equipe reported yesterday that it is a done deal.  12 months loan to Marseille with a €10 million purchase option.
