I suppose that’s true but from a pure footballing ability exchanging one for the other in the squad while different positions is outstanding business for a summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I love Davis but we should snap their arm off for 15m. He's definitely not in our plans. We're not even sure if both Watkins and Ings are, and they cost 30m a pop! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 10m to 15m I would say is a bargain for forest, getting a strong powerful player who successfully fitted into their system. From a villa point of view, again it makes perfect sense to sell for 15m, our academy will probably produce 1 or maybe 2 players per year able to step up into the 1st team squad and the majority will be loaned out and sold for profit ideally. Gone are the days of keeping players 23 or 24 years old that don't stand a chance of playing 1st team football for us. Didn't purslow say something simular ? Like is by the time they are 20/ 21 and they are not close to 1st team they will be gone ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Fans suggesting £15m is a great deal know little about the game, this is the bare minimum we should be getting. He’s been key to getting them promoted. He is key to how Cooper wants his team to play. They know what he like as a person and character. You don’t get nothing for £15m nowadays. I know why don’t they go and sign some foreigner for £20m from some tinpot league in Europe ( does this ring a bell with our fans) who will most likely not work out for them. The flip side they could buy KD for the same money and get exactly what they need. Edited May 30, 2022 by WHY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can get a player from a foreign league, if we over charge them, they will. While they’ll have all that money from promotion I don’t get the impression they’ll spend big and they have a number of positions to buy for given their loans.

Sam-AVFC Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 There is nothing to suggest they are willing to pay £15m, so not sure why people are jumping on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you have to have the right product to sell and in the case of Forest and Davis the match is correct. However, if no other clubs are interested in Davis at a bare minimum of 20m then that weakens our position. If we could refuse 15m from Forest knowing that another club would pay 20m that would be great but there is no chance of that happening. Forest will know this and will negotiate accordingly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I read is that Villa has set the price for Davis at 15m. It is all just BS speculation. A minimum price a club set for a player will be ultra confidential between Purslow and Lange and Gerrard. It will not get leaked unless the club is trying to up the price with another bidder, and even then the actual minimum price that is leaked will likely be increased for the leak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if there isn't another team willing to pay 20m for Davis, is there another player Forrest can get for less than 20m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
