Incoming? Premiership player

[HarryHaslam]

An attacking midfielder who “tore us apart” last season on loan from the Prem. Not many of them knocking about

Is that what he said? Can’t have meant Davis then.

Doesn’t mention attacking midfielder?

From his Q & A today

 

[Booker4]

That could be Keinan Davis or Reda Khadra I would imagine and definitely sounds like an attacking player. I can't see it being Davis though, surely he'll attract interest from the top flight.

From his Q & A today View attachment 138829

Well if that is correct it rules out Davis he is talking about. Got to be Khadra.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I think Davis will be too difficult for us to get. Too much competition surely, and will Villa really go for another loan ?

Khadra though is primed for us

Do you watch football with your eyes shut?

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Regards his injury record, not something I’d be massively concerned about if he came in - think he’d primarily be a sub 2nd/3rd choice behind Brewster/Sharp, plus the conditioning fella we’ve brought in from PNE is apparently an absolute star when it comes to injury management, so can only hope it all comes together and works

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Less enthused if it’s a loan for Khadra. He’s inconsistent, isn’t in the AAA bracket and given his contract situation a loan also seems a bit odd.

 

[Liaminho9]

If I remember right, Sunjihi was most accurate at the start of Wilder’s reign…
He never said who he’s in talks with so watch him sign for Boro now!

Bit early to be labelling a player "inconsistent" when he only turned 21 this week and has played half a season of men's football. Came through the BVB youth system and had a trial at Man Utd before being picked up by Brighton, who know a thing or two about finding good prospects in European football. That's a good pedigree.

Obviously not going to be the finished article but an exciting possibility, I'd say.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

This would be a glorious signing. Absolutely perfect for us.

 

[Terry Poole]

Would be a great signing but unlikely

 

[mancunianblade]

25 by the end of next season and to date has 8 goals to his name. Seems like he’s ready for a permanent transfer and I’d be surprised at Villa loaning him out again.

Every creative player is inconsistent. Even MGW was.

Who is? Kedra?

What???

they might not have a choice with their asking price

Wonder where Davis would be if Villa hadn't wasted 3 years for him

Kids are inconsistent it comes with the territory. It’s not a huge criticism of him as I say it’s expected but I wouldn’t want us wasting loans on him, given he’s out of contract in the summer I’d be interested in a perm where we get the benefit.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

He doesn’t have MGW level of experience though and therefore his even more inconsistent. Now he could be ready to make that step forward but last season Blackburn fans seem to think he was more miss than hit. Brilliant on occasion but mostly frustrating. We need that to be the other way around.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

If it was the other way round we wouldn't be able to sign him, certainly not permanently

We'd be gambling on his technique translating into end product and it would be a very good gamble imo

Exactly. As a perm as he’s out of contract next summer, as a loan it makes less sense.

Getting his services for a year makes absolutely perfect sense.

 

[JJBlade]

Villa supporting relatives say he has tremendous potential but he's a sick note. He's missed 37 games in the last 3 seasons due to injury. He is definitely the type of player we need but if he's going to be out injured for half a season we may be better spending the loan money on someone who is going to be capable of playing 40 games a season. Something Davis has got nowhere near in his 6 seasons of football to date. A rigorous medical will be required if we're going to sign him.

Ahhh, well that means he'd miss 120 games over three seasons for us

If he started well that is

If he was shit he'd be fit as a fiddle every week

His fitness record is his main criticism. But if you get him fit (and we're quite good at injuring players down Shirecliffe ) he'd be a fucking bulldozer for us.

Listening back to that recent clip from Nathan Hemmingham on this mystery PL player. He mentions that the player in question ripped us apart "on both occasions last season". That to me sounds like someone from the regular season rather than someone who also played in the play offs and I don't think Forest had Davis in the first game at their place; in fact I know they didn't. Davis played at the Lane in the league, and in both play off games I recall. My money is on Khadra because of that; is there anyone else that springs to mind, not including Davis?!

He also says in the Q&A the player in question is an attacking midfielder so that rules out Davis as the person he is talking about.

Yeah there's that more conclusive comment also! Forgot that! lol
