It's good we are seeing links to RB's, like Celik, but I really hope we start getting linked with some LB's. Davies is a decent back up, but I really think we should upgrade both of our 1st choice FB's.

I agree we could definitely do better than Davies. But Jose likes him and we’ve got Cirkin involved next season so it’s nowhere near as bad as our right back situation. Good upgrade on the right hand side and we’re in a much better spot.

I'm not overly convinced Davies is much better than Aurier.

I think they're both average defenders. Davies plays a much safer role that doesn't allow him to get caught out as much as Aurier.

Good backup, average starter is Davies.

I'd agree that, overall, Davies isn't good enough to be a starter for a club with our aspirations. He's a significant downgrade on peak Danny Rose.

But his superiority to Aurier as a defender isn't merely a consequence of attacking less. He simply has better decision making. And better positioning.

if Jose wants Celik, I want Celik. Obviously I will have my own view on players we target but we need to back our man.
