Yep, Davis did well in league 1 and well in the Championship but this is different. He's 36 and isn't going to get any better. Loyalty only goes so far in this game especially when you get to the Prem. Adkins decided that Hammond and Sharp (and Fox with the attempted signing of Buttner) weren't good enough for this level without giving them a chance and he should have done the same with Davis. All 4 of these players were massively instrumental in us getting to the Prem. I know it's not "nice" and I don't necessarily agree with it but that's how it is. IMO, Boruc or another 'first choice' keeper should have been signed before the season started... likewise one 'Michael Dawson' type first choice centre half and it given time to bed in, in pre-season.
