Arsene Titman Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 After today, premier league clubs can’t sell or loan players to other premier league clubs . If they want to bring in a replacement for Davis, so that they can loan him to us, then they have to do it today or bring in a lower league player before final window closes on the 19th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My views on today's team are still in the mixer and I am sure that I will pour out my opinions later when they will either be reinforced or not. I would settle for a good finish from our floating CF. Do you think we will have signed a striker before the deadline has shuttered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that if it's either Davis or Austin, it may be later in the week - or even the one after. Today's deadline is only relevant regards Dursan - or any other import.

DCFC1388 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 DET stating West Brom & Villa are in for Karlan Grant - the winner probably determines if we (try and) get Austin or Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Always seems to have been us & Preston linked with Davis with DET saying we're still interested. Worth noting Alan Nixon has said Preston have no need for Davis now and he is normally pretty reliable for news from that neck of the woods. Hopefully means we have a free run at signing Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, why wouldnt we want a tall, strong, physical, pacey striker who is known for working hard, causing defenders problems and at holding the ball up to bring others into play? Sounds like exactly the sort of player we need. If he can get 10+ goals too thats a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shefki Kuqi prime example. Played 11 games for us. Scored twice. But we won 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jram Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Saw an interview with jack Grealish and said Davies is the strongest player he’s ever played with Interviewer suggested Tyrone Mings and he scoffed and said Davies is way stronger Obviously he might still be terrible at football ?

Comrade 86 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I'd be pretty happy with Davies, probably even more so than Austin. Too many folk on here just seem to assess forwards on a single rather dubious metric - goals vs games played. Even that metric is skewed as minutes played offers a far more accurate picture. As others have stated, Davies also has other qualities that he brings which seem very much in keeping with our ideal striker. Keinan also seems to address my one concern with Austin which would be that he was never really been that quick. Davies has some pace and the fact that he is so highly-rated at Villa (offered and accepted new contract immediately before being offered for loan) is a tip in itself. They seem upwardly mobile and if they see a significant future at Villa then perhaps we should accept the hint. Villa fans seem to rate Davies too and we know how moany they can get. I'd also venture that he would be on a lot less money than Austin too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
