Amavi wants out apparently

If that's true that's pretty shoddy of him.

If that's true that's pretty shoddy of him.

His agent will be wanting to get him back on Premier League wages, which is his agent doing his job. 

I'd imagine he'll be told that unless someone offers us silly money he will be expected to give us next season bearing in mind we have (through not fault of his, granted) not got much out of him this one.

He want's out? He's not even fit!

That he hopes that if somebody makes an offer for his client that meets our value that we accept it?

I'm not sure that's different to any player anywhere.

[brian green]

I would have been surprised if this had not happened.

[Sexual Ealing]

He's unlikely to attract a (reasonable) bid until January anyway given his injury.

[HolmesyVilla]

Agree the points above, Amavi has been a massive loss for us so got to hope that no team wants to take a punt with him, as I should think a bid of £12+ mill would get him
Vital player in many ways for us

[Salsa Party Animal]

Amavi have to prove his fitness so if there is a transfer it will be in January not summer 2016

I don't really give a shit either way, but surely this paragraph could be a hint?

It is our understanding that the player’s representatives will ask Aston Villa during these talks to not stand in Jordan Amavi’s way should a presentable offer be made for their left-back’s services this summer.

To be honest, I would snap someone's hand off if they offered £12m+ for him.  As decent as he looked going forward, he looked very suspect defensively, so if an offer like that came in for him, I wouldn't stand in his way.

[ozzjim]

With any that go, I hope we insert 25% sell on clauses. Especially on Adama and Amavi!

[SoccerHQ]

Would keep Amavi until January, it's unlikely clubs will bid significant money for someone who's been injured for 6 months.

I know we did with Downing but he was proven in the premier league, Amavi for all his potential isn't.

This highlights one of the things I find frustrating on this forum at times (this isn't personal Paulie, it just happens to be your post that triggered this but there are plenty more) a nobody internet 'journalist' posts that we're going to be taken over by the president of Saturn and it's instant bullshit and condemnation, a similarly unqualified writer posts that he 'understands' (with no quotes) that Amavi's agent wants Villa to accept a decent offer if one comes in and it means that he wants out and there's very little dispute about it.

I agree that he made some defensive errors but I completely disagree letting him go, from what I've seen I fully believe he will be a world class fullback in a couple of years and if there's any chance that we can keep him for that long we should take it.

Our entire defence has been a shambles most of the season and that has largely been down to being a disorganised mess, yes there have been individual errors but if they were well drilled and knew their jobs I think a lot of those errors would be cut out, I put a huge amount of blame on the quality of the coaching over the summer which left us with a team that looked unfit, disorganised at set pieces and as if they were strangers who had barely spoken to each other and had formed into little cliques that didn't like each other very much.

I don't think any player can thrive in that environment and both Garde and Black have completely failed to fix the underlying faults that it left, for that reason players who have looked to have a bit of something about them but haven't been able to push on get a pass from me, that includes okore, amavi, veretout, gana, ayew, grealish and adama.  On top of that there are a few who i think put the effort in and have enough for me to think they can contribute in the championship: bunn, hutton, clark, westwood, sanchez, kozak and gestede.  Most of the first team squad after that can go because they either have the wrong attitude, have lost the support, aren't good enough or a combiniation of the lot.  Add steer, gardner and baker coming back from loan and I make that 17 players that I'm happy to see in the squad so we still need a fair bit of work to do but it feels more manageable than the 'dump them all and start again' approach that some are calling for which I believe would be a disaster.

What, you mean where the website says "it is our understanding" as opposed to anything the player or agent has actually said? If the Daily Mirror, The Sun, TS or Sky had said that it would be completely dismissed. Now, if you are suggesting that logically the player might not want to play in the Championship I might get that, but until then the article doesn't actually state with any certainty that the player wants out.
