I just don’t think Davis is any good. I think the only reason anyone has any patience with him is he played for the youth team

And even that is questionable.

I think a lot of people think he came through our youth system in the way Grealish did. He didn't.

David Silva doesn't have club after he leaves city.  I would take him.

Not saying get rid but he could do worse than buying some lavender from a gypsy

Not a bad shout. It's probably more likely to get a shot away than Davis is.

He is still class. Wasn't it his decision to leave City? Probably looking for a move back to Spain but you never know.

I thought he refused any new contract?  Either way a quality player.

I am far, far from convinced by Wesley. He's crap in the air and he resorts to loping around throwing his arms open and pulling a pained expression far too easily for my liking.

However, I am absolutely amazed anyone can compare Davis to him.

Davis is piss poor, has scored twice in the league in three years (in the championship), and just never even looks like having a shot, let alone scoring.

Wesley is unconvincing to say the least, but he's lethal compared to Davis.


I would love to argue with all of that and put a more positive spin on it but I can't. One is a big money signing and the other has come up through the ranks. But in both cases the end of term report is 'must do better'.

Davis needs games and goals. He’s clearly not a number 2 striker at this level. Wesley, very unclear. I wouldn’t say Tammy is any solution. 15 goals at Chelsea is very meh. And they’d be asking for 40 odd million.

Having said that no idea who we could take. Sell grealish and add in the 100m warchest and bid 150m for mbappe 🚑

D’oh.  Yes, exactly the same, i read that completely wrong.  I blame the wine.

Which Leicester or Watford players are coming to the villa?

David Silva even at his age will have a long list of clubs at CL level wanting his services.

Sarr please. Get a decent striker I'd take Albrighton back in a heartbeat.

Did he get on with Kante, he's be handy if Chelsea are selling lol
