If BMI leaves we may as well give up. Talk about being dramatic. I like Bruno, in fact he’s far too good to play in the championship IMO. But to say “we may as well give up”. Christ! Sort of statement is that?!

I would be more worried if Shawcross or Bauer were going to be honest. It's pretty obvious that Gazza is after Davies ... and there are people like Morgan and Huth available who make a formidable Championship defence with Ryan. There is a lot of crap being banded about at this time of year. From all directions. Don't think anybody will know who's where until deadline day. BMI is streets ahead of Shawcross. Technically maybe. I know who I'd want at the centre of my defence this season if it was a straight choice. Long way to go yet.

Couldn't really moan for 500k, I feel however, this is another instance where we'll be taken advantage of. 500k for the best defender in the championship last season, I don’t think so. That's what they got him in for. probably just under his worth, so you can imagine we'll end up paying 4m or something stupid.

James Chester would be an excellent signing players plus he’s played with Davies before and Villa need to sell.

So you're not worried at all that our best defender doesn't want to play for us? There’s a world of difference between being worried that we might lose our ‘best defender’ (whose been with us every step along the way at some of the most consistent tonkings I’ve seen in 44 years of supporting the club), and thinking that if he leaves it’s the end of the world. Let’s get some perspective here.

Just noticed Curtis Davies was born in Leytonstone the E10 sibling of Leyton in Ell where Benik Afobe was born.
It must be happening !

Grant, Davies, Cameron, Adam, Fletcher, Crouch
Maybe we should resign Johnson too

Don't know how reliable he normally is. Does that KnotFM show doesn't he? When he’s not chatting right wing bollocks on Twitter yes..... He’s a cretin. Always spouting some useless crap and as you say he’s full of right wing bullshit

Sort of statement is that?! Not fussed either way myself. Injured a lot, and he's certainly not the quickest for me. Wish we would sign a pacey centre back for once. Everyone we sign is big, strong, injured, gets caught for pace, has a turning circle of an inflatable ocean liner, and more like an heavyweight boxer.

It sound speculation re Bruno. Any of our players could leave tbh.

Ashley Williams been told he can find another club, probably still get a perm club but if BMI did go I wouldn’t mind him as a replacement

I'm not ecstatic at buying old centre backs to be honest. Davies has always been a good, classy player, but at his age, he might suddenly lose it, a little like Fletcher did. He'd be fine as back up but Chester would be a better bet. As for Williams, see my comments on Davies. Could see him going back to Swansea myself. Ryan needs someone younger next to him and, in a perfect world, it would be Indi, with Davies as back up. Indi's left foot makes a big difference and there aren't too many left footed centre backs around. One thing Wolly had was that he could use both feet pretty well (no jokes please) and Huth too.

Signing Davies is all well and good but if we did get promoted he would need to be sold again.

Curtis Davies may be 33 but played 45 league games last year, impressive.
Bruno's a class defender but is is Groin up to a season of saturday tuesday football. I hope he stays but Davies on a 2 yr deal is shrewd business. A classy defender with experience in this league. Him, Chester or John Egan. A double Sweep for Egan and Watkins from Brentford would get me very excited for August.

If BMI did go then I'd take Davies, as well as getting a younger CB in for cover, who's left footed like: Jake Cooper from Millwall, Tyrone Mings, Matt Clarke from Pompey etc

Tyrone Mings who cost £10 million form Ipswich. Is he still injured? Don't recall him playing much or at all for Boremouth, but I''m sure I'm wrong.

Know he ain't played a lot and got lots of stick on that stamp on Zlatan, but if he was ridiculous money then no chance. That's why someone in the ilk of Cooper, Clarke could be cheaper and happier with a part time role off the bench. Still hope BMI stays though 👍
