I think Luton's record signing is £1mil for a keeper so £10 mil for Davis isnt happening. We'd need someone like Southampton on their way down with their parachute payments to give him a chance. I think if it’s to a Champ club he’s probably going to go for about £7m. But who knows… somewhere between £3m and £20m depending who you ask!

Popular Post DJBOB Posted May 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2023 Considering we sold El Ghazi for 2.5M and Trez for 4M (albeit under incompetent leadership), I’m surprised anyone thinks Davis will go for anywhere near 10M. Would be surprised if we get anywhere near 5M and think most likely he will go for free. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 He will do someone in the Championship a decent job, but clubs in the Championship are reluctant to pay what players are worth. If we can get somewhere between £3m and £5m, we will have done well in my opinion, as will the buying club. I hope he goes to a decent club where he's appreciated, he's been messed around during the past two seasons during loans that came to nothing, through no fault of his own. If we sell him for real peanuts, we should reflect that by putting a clause in the deal, so that we get a decent percentage of any future sale, we shouldn't easily be taken for fools by a Championship club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah fair point, well over £100m spent but across all those players it’s only Burnley, Norwich and Watford who spent over or close to £10m on one player in the past year. No surprise Burnley have walked the league actually looking at it now, they’ve spent almost as much as everyone else put together (or at least 1/3 of the total spend to be more accurate). I guess people said the same about us when we were down there though and we didn’t walk it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally misses out how much he adds in terms of creating space and chances for teammates. He's top on a lot of those stats. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 He is a hard worker and for a time he looked like a genuinely exciting prospect but in reality, he is a poor man's Heskey. He has no future at Villa but I wish him all the best to find the right club to suit his abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is true from a source I know who is well connected with the Villa, that both Keinan and Forest were somewhat shocked by the 15M valuation that we put on him. Shame really as i think Keinan would have settled in at Forest and done well for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Don't rule out Forest coming in for him, Cooper is a clever guy and if the price is right and has dropped (it will have) then he will still snap him up. Some of their forwards will leave at the end of the year and he wants to get the right characters in. Still it cant have been nice for keinan to see forest signing players who at that point were unproven in english football and costing more and him having spent the year busting a gut to be overlooked like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Heskey put in performances at a much higher level, but they're still very different. Davis has good feet and some skill for example - Heskey didn't.

That's a good point actually. If Forest go down he'd be perfect for championship given what he did last time and City Ground took to him. They've got Chris Wood on loan and likes of Ayew, Dennis, Lingard (lol) will all surely leave end of the season even if they stay up so would just leave them with Awonyini and Sam Surridge so they need a couple more in and he'd certainly be cheaper than last summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 This could be a good move all round. I don't know how Swansea are doing for cash, but we may get a fee for Davis? The link gets a mention halfway down the page, and links originally reported in the Swansea Independant. Keinan Linked with Swansea Another attacker linked with Swansea this week is Aston Villa’s Keinan Davis. Swansea Independent say that Duff is keen to strike a deal for the 25-year-old who spent last season on loan with Watford in the Championship. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Genuinely think Davis would be a cracking purchase for any championship club. I Watched him a lot last season and was left impressed, sadly he's just not good enough for the Villa anymore. Worked his socks off for Watford last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a few games last season where he featured in some of those games. He is going to be a very good signing for any club at that level and he definately puts a shift in whenever he plays. Good luck to the lad whoever he signs for, and if we can pick up a few quid from a sale now then all the better. As @John has also mentioned, maybe a cheeky sell on clause thrown in there on any sale too, you know, just because we can start doing that kind of thing now when we sell players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
