I thought we were looking at one of their young strikers - if they threw him in with £25 million then I might be tempted.Plus another of their reserves on loan for rest of season - maybe a midfielder - Henderson?

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.There is obviously the payer himself to consider as well. 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.I actually think their style would suit him. They defend from the front -as a unit- so he wouldn't have as much to do defensively as he has with us.

We are not going to be resigning Milner, Young, Barry, Delph or Benteke.People need to stop beating themselves up thinking that there is a chance of this.
