I like him and see real potential, it’s his finishing that is the real issue for me.

I've genuinely seen nothing from Davis to suggest he's going to make it. That's not to say I think we should write him off, but he needs to show something soon, whether on loan or here.

Same for RHM.

Which is kind of a big issue for a striker.

Unless you're a defensive striker like Heskey *wink*

He's got something, but whatever it is it's not that useful for a side that plays like we (finally) do. Perhaps Bruce will take him to Newcastle?

I like the idea of Hogan as part of the deal for Maupay & Davis on loan to Brentford. Win win …...

He played well in the early part of 17/18. Mind you so did Green. Both pick up lots of injuries.

Think once we've done our business those two will be loaned out to championship until January.

No way is that a real player!

Our next new signing can’t cum quickly enough.

I know he's real, it was a joke about his name.

I hope we’re still in for Phillips, he’s excellent.   (Oh and Butland).

Exciting times

It's difficult to tell with Davis. He had that run in the side a season back and played quite well before tailing off which youngsters inevitably do. Injuries have held him back. At the same you never know if a player needs to leave to become better and do the rounds a bit. FWIW of Delfouneso, Davis and Robinson, I thought Robinson looked the most awkward when he broke into our team (albeit we saw less of him) but he's the one who's ending up back in the top flight.

Fonz when we first saw him, largely in the Europa looked to be quite a clinical finisher but his goal record since hasn't really tied in with that. Davis doesn't look a natural finisher, but maybe that'll improve. I think he puts himself about, and increasingly you need that as a forward at Championship level. He'll be playing there on loan I suspect. We'll see. I'd be loathe to let him go permanently however.

Green I'd keep around because I think he'll get his chances if he stays fit (unless we sign 3 wingers in a day, which I wouldn't rule out going by this window).
