Do we think any of our more established players will leave in January, say Clucas, Allen etc?. I would cash in on Clucas if we can get over say 5-6 million I'd be more tempted to cash in on Allen even at £5m getting his massive wage off the books would free us up to do a bit more business and lets face it we haven't missed his services for the last 9 months. Gouranga.

But I think he's quite popular at Villa, if not prolific

Davies is the one who missed a couple of sitters against us in the cup this season isn't he?
He's not got the best touch or technique from what little I've seen him

Obafemi is Irish born and bred so if MON can use his much vaunted charm of the blarney stone we could just be in business ! That’ll be Mick O;Bafemi then Sorry I’ll get me coat

Davis is a Sidibe / Leaburn type. Won’t get goals but is awkward for a defender.

Davis came on for Villa at Old Trafford on Friday night. He certainly looked a threat and a powerful lad. But if he’s that close to their 1st team surely he’s not on the verge of leaving to the likes of us? Or have Villa got players out🤷♂️

We need proven goal scorers at this level. Clarke too lightweight. Obscenity could be good... but if we’re serious about a playoff push we need a proven player as well as youngsters.

For Villa in the Championship, 1877 mins, 0.33 xG per 90, 0.11 expected assists. Very solid "getting on the end of chances" numbers + gets involved in creating stuff. For Villa in PL, 729 mins, 0.38 xG per 90 (very nice figures), 0.03 xA, so much less involved in setting up for others. Chance quality of each attempt he's tried to convert has increased from 0.13 xG per attempt in the Champ to 0.16 in the PL. He's making his presence felt in and around the penalty spot. A lot to like. The best of today's bunch. Attachment Deleted

Yeah - they seem to have been playing a front 2 of Ayew and Jamal Lowe (who has got 6 in his last 6 games!) So he might fancy his chances of dislodging Jacob Brown a bit more? I'd fancy my chances of dislodging Jacob Brown a bit more

It’s obvious, get Davis in, his goal scoring exploits make Vokes look like a golden boot contender so we dupe some other poor chief bean counter to part with a ridiculous sum of money and take him off our hands.

Grealish seems a fan of Davis - but again highlights a lack of end product that doesn't match the fact that he's very hard to handle physically
No way they'd let him go unless they were bringing in a striker themselves though - he's much too close to their team?

It doesn't necessarily matter if the striker themselves doesn't score many goals if his presence and all-round work help the team create more chances and score more goals.

You can tell that Grealish really, really rates him.
Sidibe-esque goal ratio could be a problem though.

He seems like someone who is either going to look world class or be so disastrous it will be hilarious. I’m looking forward to seeing which one turns up!

He's a much more mobile version of Vokes which we're crying out for as it will automatically get us 10 yards further up the pitch. His goal record is a concern but I look at players like Kiefer Moore who had a modest record who are currently thriving and see no reason why that couldn't change if he was to be given a consistent run in a Championship team.......

He reminds me a bit of Sterling when he was useless and looked like he couldn't kick a ball properly.. Hopefully he can flourish to even half the player he is then that would be nice.
