Player Watch Player Watch: Ben Davies

[Sophos151]

Been with us almost a decade now? Joined with Vorm in 2014 IIRC.

Model pro. Have a lot of respect for him. Great shift again today.

That’s right, our first signing in 2014/15, jointly with Vorm. Will almost certainly hit ten years this summer, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him retire here.

One of the worst things to happen on Spurs internet is that Ben Davies gets lumped into the same category as Dier or Sanchez. He is an ultra reliable player who bails us out time and time again.

He has his shortcomings for sure, but he is far better than many give him credit for.

Couldn’t agree more with this.

 

[The Scarecrow]

I really hope there's a new contract for him in the pipeline.

Joined the same summer as Dier. Davies signed while we were on tour in the States, Dier came just a little later that summer.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

He really has been amazing. Stepped in to a make shift defence and been a rock. If he's happy to stay I would give him another contract but maybe he wants to start more games and he's good enough to start in the PL.

2024 carries on just like 2023

Proper one in one out this season. Time to pony up for Dragusin ASAP

 

[Yiddo100]

Thank god VDV is back

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Need that CB now.

 

[mil1lion]

Just another 1 in 1 out. Got to hope VdV is ready to start. Boy do we need to sign this centre back and quick though.

So best case for United is Van de Ven and Dragusin pairing up but could equally be Emerson and Phillips/Dorrington? (If Dier is heading to Bayern).

 

[tony0379]

I was only telling my 11 year old son just now, how we managed to not have a single injury tonight

 

[Zippy1980]

Out for 9 years apparently

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Got to be kidding.

 

[agrdavidsfan]

He’s had a lot of muscle fatigue recently as well so may very well be just a small tear or pull

 

[Locotoro]

How did he get an injury? I didn't see it happen

 

[thebenjamin]

Outstanding again. Fcuk our luck

 

[Ossie85]

Our style of play demands a lot from the players. This will keep happening imo.
And we're lucky we don't have midweek european games, or this would be a lot worse

 

[Hawk_Spur]

Geez, absolutely no luck this season.

Ben has been super since coming in for VDV. Gets a deserved break.

It's not the style of play, many many other teams play intensive high press football. We've just been unlucky with injuries and silly suspensions which have forced us to over play alot of players. Without the injuries and suspensions we could rotate and manage the minutes alot better but we just don't have the numbers right now to do that, we're literally down to academy subs.
