Aston Villa derided for ‘stupid’ bid for Crystal Palace forward…

Football clubs keep such a tight grip on information these days that even most transfer fees remain undisclosed.

But every now and then a juicy nugget is leaked - be it from a club official, agent or even a player. That's what appears to have happened with Aston Villa's offer for Crystal Palace forward Dwight Gayle, with Sky Sports quoting their source as saying it was a "stupid bid". https://twitter.com/holteunder/status/638643222151954432 We doubt it bodes well for Villa getting their man before today's transfer deadline.
