Can't see it happening but if Brighton did sign him I would never hear the end of it. Already had dumb comments made like "sorry but we need him".

"I know, you couldn't even beat the shittest Villa side in over 40 years" is a potential response.

Interesting about his comments re his aims now - wants to be in double figures and stays behind to work on his finishing after training every day. Also spoke about how easy it is to play of Davis, and that he always makes the ball stick to him, even in training. Huge asset to have in his game at only 19.

Would be a big boost if he can reach that and we can get, say, 20-25 goals spread across all the other midfielders (Green, Lansbury, Onomah, Elmo, Adomah)

Selling Hourihane, or not playing him in the correct role, now would be a PR disaster.

Why would we sell him? As the Spud said, he's only been here 6 months and is still settling in.

The Premier League is an alluring prospect. I'm not sure if the prospect of only having 36 games in there is that alluring mind.

As you said yesterday...
I imagine we'd be able to fend Brighton off.
It would have to be quite some offer for us to even contemplate it given the transfer fees in the PL and that he's got 3 years left on his contract.

You have to laugh, 1 late goal midweek and a stunning Hattrick Saturday and he's being linked with a move away all of a sudden. You've got to laugh at the press. No doubt if Davies plays well again on Tuesday the Suns back page will read 'Keen-On Davies' 'Chelsea and Man City to battle for teenage sensation'....

What Mr Griswold said. Had he not scored that hat-trick on Saturday, that article would probably never have been written.
