Don't think we should go higher than 10, I think we'll have to be patient on this one as they are obviously trying it on

£15M is paper talk. A player that cost them nothing and can't get near their first team is never going to get £15M - unless there's a bidding war for him. £5 - £10M is reasonable.

I would imagine that whatever the actual real figure of any deal is, if indeed one is done, it will be obfuscated by all sorts of clauses, add-ons and extras - officially declared as 'Undisclosed' and unofficially reported as a wild variety of numbers across all news and information sources.

£5m + add-ons would be reasonable. Villa would be doing Keinan a disservice asking for much more than that, slapping a silly price tag on him when he isn't going to get a sniff there is only going to price him out of a move and damage his career.

Considering the fee popularly quoted was £5 mill before we took him and we made him and provided him with the stage to add (supposedly) £10 mill to his price, I think that's a bit cheeky as well as unrealistic.

Agreed. £5m plus add ons seems about right for me, his goalscoring record is atrocious really and goals keep teams up. It would be a mistake for me to spunk a good chunk of our budget on him hoping he fires us to safety. Also, his history with injuries isn't great either.

Yep, nobody is going to pay over 10m for somebody with his goal record however good his all round game is.

I would be more than happy with him anything below 8 to be honest. As long as you have goalscorers around him like we have had this season he is super effective at what he does.

With 5 subs allowed next season, him and surridge are a formidable partnership.

Definitely.

If both aren't starters they will both make a huge impact from the bench.
 
Awoniyo rumours suggest we’ve balked at the rumoured £15m Villa want for Davis - and rightly so.

The post above from Ashley about potentially doing him a disservice with a ridiculous asking price seems spot on

Yeah 15m is way too much, I do think a few of the loans from last year will return late in the window when their clubs realise we won’t be robbed.

We will need more than one striker regardless

There will be a long way to go with this one.

I don't see a world where he stays at Villa, so they will have to accept the best price eventually.

Agreed, can still see us signing him.

With Lowe, Davis, and even Samba the early signals have been that agents and clubs think they can hold us to ransom. If the rumours about Awoniyi and Henderson are true, hopefully it sends a early signal we’ll happily look elsewhere

I reckon he'll end up here eventually, sooner or later Villa will need to be realistic about what fee they are likely to get and that's when we'll pounce.

He'll sign for us for about £5m in August, IMO.

I’ve heard matty fryatt is back on the grass, a good pre season and he’ll be like new!

I think we've moved on from Davies based on the striker links that are flying around.
Much as I enjoyed watching him last season and admire his particular mix of attributes I don't think he will anywhere near as effective in the prem and whilst that doesn't mean he isn't worth adding to squad it will be as a "stocking filler" and therefore the deal absolutely needs to be at the right price. If we go around wasting 10-15M on players like this we will be in the shit financially in very short order....

Honestly Villa have dropped a bollock here, I think we'd have taken him for 5m, but then asking for 15m when he's not worth anywhere close to that is insane.

Sadly Davis will now not play this season or he'll be on loan to a Championship club

There's starting to be whispers than Keinan is off on loan again - this time to Sheffield United.

I'd still like to have him back here - I realise he'd probably be second choice, but what an option to have coming off the bench.

I hope if we were in any way keen to get him back we'd be looking at hijacking Sheffield Uniteds move

In the words of any old politician... "I've been very clear on this; he's not good enough."

Stuart Pearce
So instead of selling him for a decent and fair fee, they're going to loan him and get him closer to the end of his contract and sell him for less.

Who knows - keep an eye on his progress at Sheff Utd and if we need someone in January and he's stayed fit and added some goals to his abilities he'd been someone to consider as he's very much a known quantity
