Which indeed they have done. As far as Amavi is concerned it's a buyers market as no one else is in for him I believe ? If so a season long loan at 50k per week for nine months frees up nearly £2m in wages . If they then want him it will mean he's had a good season so we might get far more than £8m as others will want him too. Don't see him in our first team and we've already said the squad is way too big so offload at all costs, we need to be very careful with our money now.
Thing is it still may be in our interest to do the deal. They pay his wages for 12 months and then in ayear we see where we are. If we go up we may decide to keep. If we don't then the likelihood is that they've got him for a knock down price should he have performed and they want to keep him. Depends how we want to play it. As much as it rankles I'd let him go on loan but then state they must buy him for 8m or so if he plays something like 20 games. Play less than that deliberately when he's been doing well then they're potentially removing a decent player from their team.
Top drawer bedwetting.Alternatively they don't want to shell out 8mil on a player with a history of ACL injury

I would tell them to pay up what they already agreed, or fuck off.There's no way we should be allowing this sort of chicanery or we will have the piss taken out of us every time we try to buy or sell a player. Even more than usual.

No try before you buy, pay up or walk on. This sort of sharp practice makes my blood boil they had no intention of doing the deal and apparently had been enquiring about a loan since the initial approach
