Villarocker Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Jonathan Johnson @Jon_LeGossip 3m3 minutes ago Per Nice-Matin, Jordan Amavi has finally been convinced to sign for Aston Villa. Offer of nearly €15m (plus bonuses) accepted by Nice. #AVFC "Finally been convinced"...makes it sound like Sherwood has gone in there with a gun against his head Not at all mate! Sherwood, having remembered that the young lad is French, booked them on a sightseeing trip to Paris. After taking in the Louvre and Champs-Elysee the pair made their way to the top of the Eiffel Tower where they enjoyed an intimate three course meal of Frogs legs with truffle shavings and salad with French dressing, followed by L'escargot served with a garlic and white wine sauce. For dessert they ate Mille-Feuille with Crème Anglaise and washed it all down with a bottle of vintage Dom Perignon. Afterwards, they took a stroll along the Seine before Timothy took a pen and paper from his pocket and politely asked him to join the finest clarets in England. Taken aback by the smooth, English, charm and seduction the young man signed on the dotted line instantly and the rest is history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I think your first post messed up the timescales slightly. It reads as though he's one for subsequent seasons rather than a few months down the line I'm hoping that will be the case if he becoming public enemy number 1 after a few months and then dropped!

Popular Post TrentVilla Posted July 15, 2015 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2015 The idea that he wasn't keen on joining could just be journalists guessing, because of the other clubs linked with signing him. I say it every window, its always the same. When the press finally get a name right they jump all over it as if its going to be confirmed in the next 24 hours, then it doesn't happen that way and they start bluffing about why. They come out with all kings of guff to stop people realising a lot of the time they are no better than people taking punts/educated guesses on social media. Transfers rarely happen quickly, even the ones that appear to happen quickly which is often the case with Villa to their credit. We don't as a rule talk about bids or other peoples players either openly or in quiet briefings to press like oh I don't know Liverpool. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, we do. There are a few journo's who get bits and pieces, there were a couple particularly close to Lambert but generally the club don't give out much. Much to the frustration of some particularly the Birmingham Mail in Lambert's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
