Thirty five year old Kevin Davies on a 3 and a half year contract for £60k a week sounds about right.
When the buzz of finishing above us has faded, I wonder how he'll feel about the prospect of mid>lower half of the table for the foreseeable.

You aren't our nearest and dearest, and I'm certainly not gloating if that is what you feel??? I geniunelly like Villa, and we have f#ck all to gloat about to be honest. Mid-table mediocrity ...... think its relief at not being in the relegation battle as per usual, but think we desperately need the deadwood moving, and better quality bringing in to move us up the table further. Desperate for strikers at the minute.

It will be interesting to see how Sunderland develop over the next couple of seasons.This is the point we are all at now, WILL he be allowed to develop the side the way we want to see it developed? The "PETERING-OUT" run in has shown clearly what Bruce has left us with, and despite all the rightly or wrongly shown ill-feeling by some on here, he without a doubt needs to overhaul the squad. Exactly. That’s the bit you want to be worried about. His scouting is limited at best and (at Villa) he rarely looked for outside advice. So if you’re lucky enough to have a decent scouting network he will ignore it and do his own thing = limited players from the UK on big money.You should also be worried about his lack of coaching, that is actually training the players. To this end, he rarely trusts youngsters and buys 26 years olds so that he does not have to develop their games too much.He is excellent, the best, at the man-management and motivation of his core squad, but anyone on the periphery will be jettisoned, regardless of their ability or indeed how knackered the core 15 players are.

You need strikers. Emile Heskey released in the summer. Be afraid Davey, be very afraid!
I wouldn’t be surprised if MON went for Gabby. It’s a good fit, for all parties.
