Jordan Amavi - gone again

[cdbearsfan]

I'd take £15m. That would be a significant increase on what we got. £10m means virtually no profit.

I like him as a player - have done since his debut against Bournemouth.

But how do we argue that he has developed sufficiently in his time with us to justify a 50% price hike?

We are wealthier than Nice and under less pressure to sell than they were (or at least that is the image we should be presenting).

The simple laws of supply and demand state that they have to pay more if we don't want to sell.

Plus, inflation, increased TV deals and the fact that Atletico will likely have lots of money in their pocket from selling Hernandez for €24 million.

Rumours Atletico Madrid have come in for him with a fee of circa £10m. If it's true I'd snap their hand off.

I would as well and it would be a decent start.  There is definitely a talent there, but I just don't see it being realised with us.

[ASHTONVILLA]

£10m would be great business, he is not worth half that based on what we have seen of him. Useless defender and flatters to deceive going forwards.

£10m would be crap business. One of Europe's richest clubs wander in and you want to take their first offer?

[Brend'Watkins]

Take as much as we can get and let him go and be crap for another team. Amavi's performances are not down to bad management, they're down to his abilities or distinct lack of them.

[Clampy]

It's a tough one because there's obviously a decent player in there but Taylor has come in and done really well too. I reckon we'd sell if a really good offer came in but I've got a feeling he's going to turn out to be a very good player for somebody.

He's clearly got ability but he seems to lack concentration. I think he'll do well elsewhere but probably not in this country where the pace of it catches out players like him (ditto Sanchez).

[Gareth]

There's a talent in there but for me at the minute he plays like someone who is more interested in not getting hurt than anything.

10m would a very good deal, 15m would be Dick Turpin territory.

Athletico would be great as it will be done quickly, if he ends up going to France like Veretout they will be sagas that go on all summer

[Pete3206]

Recouping £10 million or above is dreamland for this player. Get him gone.

£10m for a reserve championship full back is crap business?

Yes. If they've offered £10m, then it's telling the selling club that there's a higher bid to be squeezed out of them.
Ergo, accepting the first bid is crap business.

Not if that is the asking price.

[old man villa fan]

I like him and he has far more to offer than he has shown but I would take £10m for him  with add-on clauses. If he becomes a £20-25m player we should share some of that increase in value. I think the £10m is more use to us right now.

[Ads]

£10 million on top of the £2.5 million for Sanchez, plays some wages shifted would be a good start.

I haven't seen the boy have a good game for us - I didn't see him at all pre injury though.
