No he isn’t, he’s just moved to a much less demanding League, like Fonte. He left at the right time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 18 May, 2022 Share Posted 18 May, 2022 (edited) Great effort by Rangers, to even be there is incredible really. Probably the first and last European final most of their fans will ever see, so a great experience. Just a bit gutting. Of all the players to miss it though, the player brought in as the coup. He has been absolutely terrible for them. Davis top, top player, top guy. We miss him more than any of our 'defectors'. What I'd give for someone like him in midfield right now, even at 37 he'd walk in to any of the 10 positions.

Turkish Posted 18 May, 2022 Share Posted 18 May, 2022 Gutted for him, Rangers had a great chance at the end of extra time to win it. Crap pen from Ramsey. Nothing between the two teams. Steve Davis still a quality player. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was class when he came on, just does things so simply makes the game look easy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piran Posted 19 May, 2022 Share Posted 19 May, 2022 He did play well last night. He played well for Saints, too, much of the time. Yet there were plenty on this forum for whom he was never good enough! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis doesn’t have to play Premier League football every week. I’m sure he looked excellent in his cameo last night but he wouldn’t be of much use to us right now.

My point is the qualities he’s always had still serve him well. A style and type of midfielder we haven’t really replaced and would be beneficial if we had one now. Having watched the game, his role was a little more than a ‘cameo’. He was instrumental in taking control of the midfield and Rangers getting back on the front foot. Dispatched his penalty well too. Sadly the level of some of our current midfielders would struggle to do that in a league game never mind a major final despite having youth on their side. An understated classy player who’s know-how would be wasted if not utilised in a coaching capacity some day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been drinking with Rangers fans this afternoon, he’s a legend up there, but they said he’s legs have pretty much gone. Anyone who thinks he could play regularly in our side is deluded.
