He was the player I have 'adopted' over the past 2 seasons because I thought he was unfairly criticised by the fans just because he isn't Rose. I still think he's a good LB but I think we may need to replace him for a quicker LB for when we play 3 at the back.
Never understood the signing, been saying since he signed that I wouldn't mind selling him, thought he was pushed on us because we really wanted Vorm, can't imagine why we wouldn't find a more versatile back up LB to suit our various systems better and generally think he is disposable.
That is true. You are right. And since we bought him, Rose has especially advanced in abilities Davies simply does not have.We weren't playing the way we are now when we bought him

Oh, by all means, I do not mean to come across as thinking that Davies is a bad footballer in absolute terms. On the contrary, he plays for a national team of some recent, moderat success. However, I almost feel a bit sad for him, he is wasted with us. Would fit in well at several upper-half PL clubs.I think that's the crux of it tbh. Davies would look far better in a side where he does not have to provide the width for attacking purpose. Rose I think would look far less of a player if you restricted his forward play. He'll do well elsewhere but he just doesn't fit in our set up now imo.
