Good player, but 25m could be far better utilised I reckon. I doubt the right quality being available in January and if losing our best left back undermines our promotion push then the financial implications dwarf what is allegedly on offer here.

Selling him would give out a negative signal. If we don't need the money, which seems apparent from the fact we've rejected £25 million, then why sell?We're better off with Amavi, I don't think we'd improve on him and the message it sends out is that we mean business and cannot be bullied.
I think he's a superb player and will only get better. Reminds me of a young Ashley Cole at the Arse. We should keep for as long as possible!

We finally have a decent left back, keep him until the summer at least.

We made it known in the summer that we won't stand in the way of an unhappy player and only want people here who are 100% committed. I think that Amavi would commit until the summer but he wouldn't be human if he didn't consider tripling his wages and joining a team hat are just off the PL summit.Personally, I think that Amavi has some way to go until he reaches the standard that Liverpool are at. In his 12 odd PL games, his actual defending needed improvement. His asset is clearly getting forward and putting decent crosses in but he would be required to defend at the same level for Liverpool.I think £25mil is a massive gamble for the buying club. I still struggle to take it seriously though. I can't believe that a club would get up to £25 million before the window has even opened, or that the press wouldn't have got wind of it.
