I think regular game time is key for KD and will allow us to see whether he has it or not. I can't believe Smith now wants him at Norwich - according to the press speculation - having regularly failed to utilise him over the last 18 months. Surely he would not want to go there under DS?? I can believe it. Davis is a decent focal point that will go well with their long ball philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t have Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings in front of him at Norwich, it would be the perfect move for him, if we could get £7m for him it would be good business Edited November 24, 2021 by gwi1890 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logical move is to go to championship and actually start some games if he can stay fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister_a Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 If we sold Davis to Naaaarch for 7m, I'd be laughing so hard they would hear it at Carrow road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted November 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2021 there is not a superlative in the english dictionary that conveys how good business £7m would be. an absolutely ludicrous suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? If Norwich really wanted him we could is he worth that no not really but , there has to come a point were we try command a bigger fee for players other teams want, is he any worse than Solanke? £20m , Brewster £23m , Wesley £22m, Us trying to sell Keinan Davis for third of the value is ludicrous?

useless Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Other than on here I can't find any speculation at all linking him with a move to Norwich, even if it was a made up rumour from 'football insider' or similar, it would be all over twitter, but there's nothing. They've already got Pukki and Josh Sargent who's fairly highly rated and who they paid a big fee for by their standards, so at Norwich he would probably be third choice as well.

Brewster was highly rated and proved and was good enough for the championship before he even hit 20. Wesley was an up and coming 6'4 beast of a striker who won the Belgian young footballer of the year. It's easy to say in hindsight that these were bad transfers, but there was a reason all these clubs spent so much money on these guys. They were all very highly rated youngsters and the clubs hoped that by moving early, they'd get a hold of a future elite striker before they end up costing many times more. Davis right now is older than all of them at the time of their transfers, much more injury prone and has accomplished much less than any of them. Suffice to say, not many clubs will be thinking Davis has the potential to turn into a world class striker in the future. So they're not gonna pay that kind of money for him.

Last time I checked it was 2021 not 1996 bournemouth paid for solanke's potential. he'd played PL and CL football for liverpool and was seen as good enough. he'd played for england at all youth levels including getting the golden boot at the U17 world cup. know how many england youth appearances davis has? zero...not a single one. i might also remind you that bournemouth are 2nd in the championship now, with solanke the league's joint 2nd highest scorer. remember how davis looked even in the championship? i'm not saying solanke is any good. we know he's also not PL quality. but there was a method to the madness of that fee, that's all. davis has done nothing to justify a £7m price tag. brewster was quality for swansea and was bought off the back of that season, and liverpool felt the need to insert a 40m buy back into that deal so they obviously want the option to get him back wesley was an established CL player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero reason to think he can score goals, he will move on this summer I’m sure. I believe, there will be a few upgrades, that may catch some of the fans by surprise.
