nepal_villan Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 He is now a legend at two clubs - Forest and Udinese. Remarkable achievement for a STRIKER that has scored less than 20 professional goals in his CAREER! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Keyblade Posted May 27 Popular Post Share Posted May 27 Honestly one of my favourite players just for the lore alone. From being a barber to being an early catalyst in Villa's rise, to being a big part in Forest's return to the PL, to keeping up Udinese. All while never being fit and barely scoring any goals. 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 So pleased for the bloke. There was a moment when he burst onto the scene in the championship when he was being linked to United etc. But after all of the ups and downs, you have to admit: when he struck the ball, this is the face of a man who doesn't score many goals... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he didn't come into the team in early 17/18, I maintain we wouldn't have mounted a promotion charge that season. We were awful starting with Hogan up front, and was looking like Bruce was going to be sacked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said it before but his debut against Norwich was one of the best I’ve ever seen and filled me with such hope for him! Naturally, he didn’t score in the match but was a constant menace and handful for the Norwich defence, something that continued into his next few appearances. I really do think the difference between Keinan Davis as-is and Keinan Davis being a big name player in the PL is simply injury, he has the tools to be unplayable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just destroyed an entire defence for 90 mins without scoring, it was ridiculous. Missed a couple of sitters too, classic Keinan. I couldn't believe what I was watching. Even with his limited appearances, I think he's up there with Benteke for the best hold up player I've seen at the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 He'd 100% be a Premier League player if not for injuries. If only Forest signed him when he helped promote them, he was fantastic there and earnt his chance. He still has time if his body somehow doesn't let him down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I always got the impression he was coached into a type of player that doesn't really exist any more in the Prem. If you needed a player to bully defences, flick the ball on, hold it up, he was decent. How many teams these days have that type of player any more? It's very rare. Shame, liked the bloke a lot, but sometimes in football you gotta score goals, as the old saying goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hold up play was decent but his career played out better than he was in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
