dubai_phil Posted 15 August, 2008 Share Posted 15 August, 2008 VERY bad idea. BUT, one good piece to deduce from the article 1) It is a rumour mill 2) Davies stated clearly in an interview when he signed for us that the main reason he left Boro was that they used him at full back and he doesn't like playing there and Saints said he'd be a centre back. And I don't think he moved here to improve for half a season with a view to a long term career aiming at one of the top 5 clubs to blow it all for one season in a struggling side where he would be made to look bad every week. Chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Martini Posted 15 August, 2008 Share Posted 15 August, 2008 I believe it was said at the fansforum that Davies was deemed essential to the team and was not one of the players for sale? Now I know that everyone is for sale at a certain price but Stoke will have to pay topprice for Davies if they would want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwhocan Posted 15 August, 2008 Share Posted 15 August, 2008 Doubt it's A.Davies as he's been injured for ages, K.Davies more likely although a little odd or then it could be our old friend Kelvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more Andy , but as 45% of Saintsweb users consider us a promotion or at least top half of the table club presumably the loss of one more player won't make that much difference and we'll be fine :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintkiptanui Posted 15 August, 2008 Share Posted 15 August, 2008 Hold fire girls. How many games did he actually play for us??? about 10. calm down it's only a centre back, ollie will come good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Chalet Posted 15 August, 2008 Share Posted 15 August, 2008 I hope it doesn't happen but Davies will go as he is a saleable asset. Svennson signing deal has probably made this possible. £500k profit in 6 months for us and no doubt a hefty sell-on clause for when Stoke get relegated and he gets punted on. Still leaves us with Svennson Perry Lancashire Racine with Wotton and Spiderman as backups. Can't wait for the spin about a log jam of centre-backs.

wightman35 Posted 15 August, 2008 Share Posted 15 August, 2008 If Davies goes for £1.5million then we are definitely on the slippery slope to oblivion. I'd like to downgrade my optimistic vote in that case. Of course the Banks may insist, whatever the Club (PLC!) may wish. That shows just how deep in the mire we have reached.

I think you are missing one of those sarcastic rolly eye type thingys. He was one of the few bright sparks of last season. Decent CB's are extremely hard to find and make all the difference in this long ball league. He's worth £3m easily based on what we saw last season.

I really do hope so as personally we could lose most of the others mentioned on high wages but always thought the team would be built around Davies. Not only for his play but for his character and determination. Maybe its money or maybe its he himself wants to go back to the premier for one year. On the other hand you might just be right as there is no official confirmation. Then again no one wants Bradley even on a gimme because of his wages. Lets hope and pray MS stays sound or its bring on the young uns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope you are right about that. If Rudi S was worth a million if he went to Ipswich, then surely Davies must be worth twice that; especially to a premiership club. (Even one that will be back down next year.) ps If Davies were to refuse to go- assuming this RUMOUR has foundation- would Davies be sent to train with the kids?

alpine_saint Posted 15 August, 2008 Share Posted 15 August, 2008 This news doesnt surprise me in the slightest. As I said earlier, no-one is safe from being sold. Lowe will accept any bid for any player he deems reasonable. I wonder if Davies "recovery from injury" has been taking longer than expected for a reason......... The reaactions on here are fascinating, and take one of three forms: 1. Told-you-sos 2. People who up till now who were basically saying "In Lowe We Trust", who have simply forgotten the nature of the man over the past 2 years but have now had a rude re-awakening 3. The bizarrest of the lot considering Killer's fragile situation, that claim "We dont need Andrew Davies anyway", just to toe the party line... Whichever, I hope some of you have woken up to the fact that Division 1 football next season is a real prospect. But never mind, as long as the books balance for 5minutes this season, eh ????????????
