Looks big and strong which is good as we need some presence up top. Having watched the obligatory goals comp the biggest positive has to be how 2 footed he is; well struck, accurate, finishes with left and right.

I am being greedy but would love Davis in as well. It would be like the bash brothers from mighty ducks!

Think we only go for Davis if Villa lower their price a substantial amount. Awoniyi seems like he'll be the starting striker and plays somewhat similarly to Davis. And £15m is too much for a potential substitute striker.

I reckon we'll get Davis late into the window for a fraction of Villa's current daft asking price. It will soon become apparent that no one is paying that kind of money for him.

No idea how reliable this Nigerian outlet is (probably more so than Wayne though...), an article from this morning:


Exclusive - Taiwo Awoniyi Shuns RB Leipzig, Agrees Personal Terms With Nottingham Forest

Union Berlin and Nigeria international forward Taiwo Awoniyi is few details away from joining newly promoted English Premier League side Nottingham Forest on a four year deal.

Awoniyi and his agent are meeting with officials of the English Premier League side in Greece. We exclusively gat.d that an agreement on his wages have been reached all that is left is for a transfer fee to be agreed with Union Berlin.

24 year old Awoniyi is keen on the move to England as it is the wish of his wife to settle this desire made him to turn down a move to fellow German Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.

A fee of €20m has been pegged as his buy out clause with Nottingham Forest expected to meet it with ease. His former club Liverpool are due a percentage from his proposed sale as they had a sell on clause inserted in the deal that took him to the club last summer.

He scored 15 goals in 31 Bundesliga games last season and also made the Nigerian team to the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon. He hasn’t been called up since then but new coach Jose Peseiro is reportedly keeping a close watch on him.


Edit: this appears to be the original source of the above, way less spammy than the other link:

It’s by the same bloke that asked to help get his money out of Nigeria and make me rich at the same time. What a coincidence!

Decent ability with both feet seems to be a recurring theme with all our forward links, Okafor, Dovbyk and now Awoniyi

Looks an upgrade on Davis to me.

Worth getting Davis through the door as another option but this guy would likely be our main man.

Villa have seen how he's taken to us, they've seen how much we love him and that we've now been promoted and are just trying to milk us for what they can get. I guarantee they'd be asking for far less had we not been promoted.

As you said KD is worth 5m max, he doesn't score enough to be worth any more than that. He's going to end up being loaned back to the championship for another year.

And more to the point he is ever going to manage more than 25 games in a season with his injury record

It's not that easy to just demand a buy clause in a loan.

Presumably those demanding one think we should have given Worrall and Johnson one when we loaned them out?

Of course it’s not easy but it comes down to what sort of loan it is. If you are taking a potentially top quality kid to develop them at a lower level there’s no question of a buy clause and Worrall /Johnson fit tgat category.
If you are taking someone whose career has stalled, is getting on a but it is pissed if at the parent club that’s completely different. You’re not developing them as such and if it works out I don’t see what’s unreasonable about having a buy clause. You could argue that Lowe, Spence and even Davies fell into that category. We probably added a total of 25-30M value to that lot last year

They helped us add a huge amount to our value as a club too. Davis may not return as we may decide that we are playing in a different pool now.

I wouldn't underestimate what those two stars can do to help woo a player, now that we are back up. If we can snag this striker and the centre back Diakhite, those would be two excellent additions, and neither is a huge fee (relative to what others of comparable ability would cost). The only potential downside is going to be developing the chemistry. These things do take time.

You think Rangers fighting for the SPL title and playing in Europe is a lower standard than a side that generally battles relegation in the championship? Ho hum.

So to be clear you'd have refused to take any of those players on loan and where exactly do you think we'd be right now?

Looking at his Bundesliga goals, it is the full set, left foot, right foot, long range, deft flicks, headers, penalties, really looks an all round center forward with a high goals/shot ratio.

Get another 20 in the Premier league and the market value will be nearer 40m.
