A record fee paid by a L1 club for a defender - potentially in excess of £1.5m including add ons. Shows how important McKenna sees those wing back roles being for how we want to play and the style of player highlights that he does want 'a left sided Wes Burns'.
No pressure, lad. |  | | |  |

In hindsight you'd have paid £1.5m for Burns wouldn't you? |
But we didn’t, we paid around £150,000. Around 10% of what we’ve paid for Davis, that is my point in its entirety - value for money, sensible spending. |  | | |

“ Don’t know enough about him other than small clips and Leeds fans reviews. Mixed bag, some think he’s very good, some think he was overhyped - never been one to judge a player from previous fans though, wait and see how they do for us.”
I’m merely stating the £1.5M for a left back who has 21 career appearances in League 1 is a very big gamble. Hope humble pie comes along, and £1.5M looks a snip in 12 months time. | | | |

It’s ok suthers. Luckily we have a management team that know about football so you don’t have to. |  | | |

My point is wait and see what he's like before worrying about whether we've overpaid. Unless you work for ORG, surely as fans we just want to see good players that McKenna wants playing for us? | | | |

This is where resale value comes in, speculating to accumulate, very few of players we’ve signed (maybe just Fridge, Harper and Edwards) are players that if they fly when they sign are going to be worth serious values.
Burns has had the best season ever, and realistically we’d get how much for him? £3m or so absolute tops? If Davis can put a couple of seasons together he’s worth £10m |  |
