One of Europe's richest clubs wander in and you want to take their first offer?£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.See also, selling your house.No one's bid £10m for Amavi, nevermind £25m. If we supposedly need to pull up the drawbridge and are on a sell to buy regime as to not completely fuck up the ffp rules then do you really think we would turn down a £10m offer for a fullback who was shit last season, didn't play the season before because of a bad injury and isn't regarded as a first team player.Come on now, think about it.You think about it. A club walks in and makes a first offer. When in the entire history of football did the selling club roll over and say yes? You go back and say, thanks for that offer, but we'd like a whole lot more. And then, a few weeks later, when there's an offer of £15m+ on the table, you say yes.It's not rocket science.

No one is going to bid £10m for Amavi. Come on, were sounding like deluded noses here and their fantasies about signing Maradonna etc etc
It's funny the amount of hand-wringing on here whenever Daniel Levy (and others like him) extracts extortionate fees from a club. And yet now we're supposed to take the first offer from Atletico, despite it being far lower than bids in the summer.It's almost like people want to whinge whatever happens.
despite it being far lower than bids in the summer.
Amavi has had two pre-seasons at BH and struggled to hold down a regular place in the worst Villa sides in over 20 years. Luminaries like Richardson, Cissokho and Taylor have been selected ahead of him reasonably regularly by successive managers. That game at Fulham summed him up, plenty of ability but no heart and a feckless attitude.
Bit harsh to say he couldn't hold down a place for 2 years when he was crocked early November in his first season. He was a big disappointment this season though.
There has been plentiful speculation that suggests otherwise. Are all the press deluded Noses?
Jordan Amavi looks set to leave Aston Villa this summer, after the defender confirmed he had been placed on the transfer list.Amavi joined Villa in the summer of 2015 before their relegation from the Premier League.He made 34 appearances last season, but following the claret and blues' failure to win promotion back to the top flight at the first attempt, wants a move to meet his ambitions.Amavi told French daily the Nice-Matin: "We spoke with Aston Villa, I was upfront with them, the club were in return."If I have to leave, there will be no problem."I have ambitions. I want to play in Europe, for a club that play in all the competitions."I've been placed on the transfer list."The 23-year-old, who cost Villa £9m from Nice, revealed that clubs have come forward to discuss potential moves - but no concrete offers have yet been made.Amavi is ideally seeking a switch to a Premier League club, though he's open to the idea of moving abroad."There are clubs that have come to enquire and we've talked, even if there is nothing concrete yet," Amavi added."I love the Premier League, it is the league that I like enough, but I am open to other countries."If the sporting challenge is interesting, I will go ahead, I won't think twice."Amavi has been linked with a host of clubs including Liverpool, Sampdoria, Marseille, Monaco, Atletico Madrid and former outfit Nice during his time at Villa.In December, Villa were said to have turned down a £25m bid from an unnamed club from China.
