Andrew Davies...

I think he's only just come back, so hopefully he will still be off the pace:smt022:smt022

 

Getting in all these loanees is no guarantee of improvement (just look at our rag tag bunch last summer), but Norwich have also picked up Gow and Killen who are rated.

what does it tell us? Its very confusing he did so well for us but cant get into the Stoke team. I dont wish him unwell but I do hope he does not help Norwich to our cost.

 

Similar to Chris Baird. To be honest I don't think any of the defenders we've had over the last couple of years have been any good, they just look good cos of the chaff we've had.

My angst is more to do with the fact that he's strengthening a relegation rival, more than we should have been in for him.

 

Of course we knew Davies would move to a relegation rival when we offloaded him to a premiership club :rolleyes: If we sell a player to a premiership club that is something we cannot stop given the player wanting to prove himself at the highest level. Whether it proves to be good or bad is out of our hands once he leaves our club.

There really should be a claus in transfers that stops this. Exactly the same happened to Cov City when Davenport joined Spurs, immediately he went on loan to West Ham. The only difference being that happened the next day, not 5 months on.

You seem to have misinterpreted the content and nature of my post.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

 

My post was in no way a dig at the Club (or anyone associated with it), I was merely commenting that one of our relegation rivals had appeared to have bolstered their defence (or not as the case may be) which may have a negative consequence on us.

 

I would have made a similar comment had Watford managed to sign Curtis Davies from Villa on loan.

can anyone confirm that Davies did actually join norwich cause as far as i am aware he didn't as as stoke didn't sign some of the players they wanted to, i have checked the norwich site, stoke site and also BBC it is only skysports that mentioned it

If Pullis has decided to help out Norwich then we should tell that load of deadwood son of his Anthony he can F U C K Off back to daddy. If anything they could have made a gesture and let Davies come back to us on loan. All will hang on the salary Davies is asking for and therefore we'd stand no chance.

That attitude gives the lad no chance when he pulls on his shirt for us.I bet you havent seen him play and come up with that nonsense.Nothing like being fair is it.

In all fairness there aren't many who have! Makes you wonder on what basis they mae the decision to buy him...18 appearances in 6+ years

A post by Corky Morris on the Pulis thread,

 

My middle nipper has been training up at Stoke & I get to find out a fair bit of info about them even if I did take the **** out of Delap & the fact that someone is Southampton managed to sell Higgy a Lincoln Navigator!

The coaches there reckon that Pulis can actually play. The problem has been he seems to be constantly injured. He had a hard time because he was the managers son, but they reckon he could do a job in the Championship.

I suppose we should wait & see, but it does appear a very odd signing.

 

Perhaps the bottom line would be best to follow, or do you want him to fail?

I dont think hes even played a game this season has he? We dodged a very expensive bullet by offloading him in the summer. A good defender and totally committed. Unfortunately that often led to him charging recklessly into tackles and getting injured.

 

Nice lad but selling him for an outrageous fee when he was crocked was probably the best bit of business we have ever done. Well done whoever set up the transfer. Games he has been fully fit for this season so far - 0! You can never say never but sadly I think this is one for the insurance company and to happen to one so young seems even more unfair than what has happened to killer.

Norwich have much bigger gates than we do since Lowe returned. That's why we can't afford him but they can.

 

but I thnk they charge bobbins for their season tickets so I wonder if they are that much better off? Mind you their rich board members have given gifts of interest free loans to clear their debt which has helped.

But ours with the exception of Crouch won't do that. Somewhere I saw £13 for a ticket against our £24/28.

I think he has played for their first team a couple of times, probably as a sub though.Maybe when they got crapped on by Blackburn or in that sort of time zone.

I see Stoke are trying to sign Kelly from Birmingham, he's a defender so perhaps

Davies has been judged as not fit enough or not good enough.
