Bwoi * Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Aston Villa are in talks with Curtis Davies over a proposed move to Villa Park from West Brom. The Baggies have given permission for the Premier League club to speak to the want-away defender, who has been left out of the West Brom side at the start of the season. Reports suggest Davies will join Villa for £9million, although West Brom boss Tony Mowbray insists the deal is not yet done. Tottenham have also been interested in the 22-year-old but Villa look likely to land the former Luton stopper before Friday's transfer deadline. "We've given Curtis permission to speak to Aston Villa but the deal is not concluded and is ongoing," Mowbray told the club's official website. "We'll wait and see if anything gets concluded. "The bottom line is Curtis hasn't contributed at all for us this season and, if he goes, we'll just get on with what we've been doing." West Brom have already brought in over £10million from the sales of Diomansy Kamara and Nathan Ellington and Davies could be next out of The Hawthorns' exit door.Its about time, he's gonna b big 4 villa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necksta Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 He's a good player but £9M is way too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwoi * Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 i think he'll prove his worth as time goes on, like Ashley Young he's a future England player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the_truth_hurts Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 i think he'll prove his worth as time goes on, like Ashley Young he's a future England player.yeah kinda agree 9 mils a bump but over time he'll be worth the fee and he'll be on low (ish) wages.

TF/S4DK Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Good signing, but never 9m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Just hope we sign a RB before the window or Davies is gunner be stuffed there.Our CBs: Mellberg, Laursen, Davies & Cahill with Knight as 5th choice.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Its Me Bitches Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Melberg will prob play right backor he might goto his old tried and tested 5-3-2-----------------------Carson--------------------------------Melberg----Davies-----Laursen------------Petrov----------Reo-Coker----------Bouma------------------Barry-------------Young-----------------------------------Agbonlahor--------------------------------------------Carew----------------------Something along those lines with maybe gabby more on the right to track back and help out petrov, with your strongest defender also on the right side to make sure no one exposes it as well as being able to allow Young to go out wide on the left to put balls into Carew.Would also see Barry get in the box a lot more.

Lenny Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 said 2 my boy the other day villa shouldve signed him instead of zat night then i checked the sun 2day & saw thiswould b a good signing 4 them if he can step up like dawson+lescott did from championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Gooney Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Would be a very good signing 4 a team like Villa, obviously he aint worth 9 mil tho and what makes it worst is they paid like 4 mil for Zat Knight lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Melberg will prob play right backor he might goto his old tried and tested 5-3-2-----------------------Carson--------------------------------Melberg----Davies-----Laursen------------Petrov----------Reo-Coker----------Bouma------------------Barry-------------Young-----------------------------------Agbonlahor--------------------------------------------Carew----------------------Something along those lines with maybe gabby more on the right to track back and help out petrov, with your strongest defender also on the right side to make sure no one exposes it as well as being able to allow Young to go out wide on the left to put balls into Carew.Would also see Barry get in the box a lot more.MON will play Cahill or Gardner at RB ahead of Mellberg.Mellberg filled in there last season and has played there for Sweden, but he is NOT a full back.Hes a very good centre back, but hes absolutely shite on the ball and his distribution is terrible.It wouldnt suprise me if Davies was put there though, MON often likes to play younger lads slightly out of position like Gabby on the right, Young upfront, Gardner at RB, Steven Davis at LM because he said it helps them in the long run.Also, it would give Davies another seasons prem experience where his mistakes wouldnt be as costly, when next season he can move into the middle and be long term succesor for Mellberg.

Bwoi * Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 it looks like his a villa player now. He's on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent tranfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Yeah.Kcuzcak was the same to Man U last season.It's because if WBA recieve anymore in Transfer fee's they have to pay bare tax on it or something. So the money goes through next season so they don't have to pay as much out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
