Curtis Davies

Recommended Posts

Anyone else see he was linked to Reading for around £1.5m? (Mirror story). Apparently on around £27k at B''ham. Been told he can go and would most likely take wage cut. You''d imagine we would have bid for him already if we were interested as B''ham have been trying to flog their wares non-stop recently. Can''t see anything about Redmond except that West Ham were interested before and may be again

Would like to see him here, but would mean getting rid of barnett. Bennett is a promising defender who just needs to learn to handle tough games and playing in out of sorts defenses better. Turner is 1st choice with bassong leaving a 4th spot for Davies if Barnett can find a new club.

Davies and Bassong would be immense!

Surely other teams would be interested if we that good?  His career seems to have gone off track a bit the last couple of years.  Villa paid £8.5 for him didn''t they?  Can he play either full back?  Versatility would be handy.  Otherwise, really he''s not needed.  We have 2 players for each defensive position, so we probably don''t need Davies unless someone leaves...

Reality check... Why would we pay 27k wages per week for what posters claim would be a third choice backup defender?

Of course he''s needed! We''re desperate for a decent Centre Half

better not sign him then. I think it depends on how much we pay for a striker. If hardly anything, then Davies for me would be a good signing

Yes, been banging this drum all window. Feel certain we could get him if we wanted him given CH''s Brum connections. And no-one is going to automatically pay 27k wages for him just because that''s what he was on there. He will know he has to take a cut.

Don''t understand why we wouldn''t go for him to be honest because it''s painfully obvious to all how exposed we are as soon as Bassong is out.

How on earth is ne "not needed" or a "third choice"?He would be stronger, quicker and positionally better than Turner, our second best defender.  Sign him up!

Hmm. Davies might be a bit quicker than Turner as pace isn''t one of Turner''s strengths but I''m not convinced he''d be particularly better in any other department.

 

Turner is only just over a year older than Davies but has a lot more experience at Premier League level.

IF Curtis is available for £1.5 mil I''m sure Hughton will know this and if he wants him will make a bid for the player.

He would be a great bargain at that price.

Imho we do need a CB aswell as strikers because without Bassong we look lost at the back and just proves what we have as backup atm just isn''t good enough.

I can see a cheeky bid from us going in. :-)
