I don't think it was actually a 'free' transfer in this case

 

I would guess that although Portsmouth didn't want our ?3.5 million, a good chunk of it is now in Mr S Davis's bank account as a signing on fee.

 

Also probably explains why he is happy to take under the market rate wages - if indeed that is the case.

 

Happy with the signing though - I think everybody wins - Davis money in the bank and a club that wants him, Bolton a good experienced and 'cheap' first team player acquired, and even Portsmouth who although they did not get the money they probably owe Davis thanks for help keeping them in the Premiership which didn't look likely whilst Tony Adams was in charge!

 

Don't know where I read it but I definitely read 40k a week for Davies that is more than the going rate in my mind, so where this less than market rate rumour comes from I do not know.

Somebody said so on here, Mounts so it's bound to be true!

I thought that he had a good game when we played them ar Fratton Park. A good fetcher carrier that we have needed for quite a while. If we sign Boddie who is a good passer of the ball, I think that we have covered our main weaknesses.

 

Unlike some, I haven't got a downer on either A O Brien or Shittu. You could spend quite a bit and get an awful lot worse like Dunne from the Massives.

obrien and shitthu aren't good enough

 

and id want a new left back, meself

Bloody hell pal,if we are gonna do well next season we cant have either of them playing,

 

O Brien is no longer good enough,imo as for Shittu yes he can head a ball but he will always make

 

at least one bad fcuk up during a game

I think you are spot on, we desperately need a TOP centre half to partner Cahill if we are to do better next season.

I agree with that. I think Samuel's crap performances sneaked under the radar last season because everybody was too busy slating Muamba and Elmander.

Probably sour grapes but this comes from a Pompey website:

 

Pompey made Davis a decent contract offer long before the end of the season. He chose not to accept it, which is his right.

 

One has to presume that Bolton are prepared to pay a 29-year-old journeyman whose all-action style betrays his dreadful first touch, more than Pompey were.

 

Who's looking the mugs now? Not Pompey.

 

With the first touch of Muamba, he and Davis can make it look like they are playing neat 10 yard passes to each other

I don't understand that statement, if he's that bad, why did Portsmouth offer him another decent contract? - deffo sour grapes

Looking forward to the battle for top midfield scorer. My money just on Mark D who might sneak two if he stays fit all season, but that other prolific scorer JOB waiting in the wings.

or maybe it'll be taylor, pushing 10

Indeed. Journeyman? In a 13 year career, we're his 4th club.

OK, let's hear your thoughts again on JLS who most fans thought had a decent season, or Brownie who you seem to have a one man crusade against.

 

Why do folk like you class every comment as a whinge? Our centre mids were hardly bursting the net every game and I dont think the new guy is going to help there. Just a comment that's all.

 

Try keeping in the shade and taking in lots of water today mate.

Point is Russell - you don't seem to have anything positive to say. Always comments like this. That's why folk think you're a negative fcuker.

the battle for top midfield scorer is likely to be won by taylor or maybe by kevin davies

 

thats one bit put to bed

 

samuel - i can't take a left back seriously who cannot use his left foot 'cept to stand on, and can't geta ball into the box, unless its acut inside, lump it from the half way line with no pace whatsoever moment

 

defensively, hes just about adequate but we need more

 

he's not a patch on gardner

 

 

brown - he's a cock, a gobshite, a slimy twat and lucky todd didn't kill him

 

mouthy bastard

 

other than that, he's a good bloke

 

 

if he was our bloke, id tolerate all that

 

and see, thats the difference between me and thee

 

i want to like our players/manager

 

reet, back to you

 

why is your reflex to knock owt we do

 

is it cos you never saw out better than cold blow lane?

 

rejected by ridding?

Anyroad, off for 18 holes with a couple of ex pros now, the footballing kind, not the other. Speak later pal.
