SKD over 400 games.

 

I'm sure Bergkamp would have played over 400 games for Arsenal as well with him having been at Arsenal for about 12 years. (edit: just check, and Bergkamp played more games for Arsenal than Davies has played for Bolton)

 

 

I'm just intrigued as to why Eavesy thinks that Kevin Davies has contributed more to Bolton than Bergkamp did to Arsenal

Has he been on talksport already saying no testimonial because he is 5 days away from 10 years????

He would be better of without a testimonial, surely it would be too embarrasing for him when only around 6000 turned up to watch us play somebody crap like Hibs for his testimonial game.

that is a piss take from the club

Agreed, Not heard it so will reserve judgement...

"I have to keep my head up for the rest of the season. I think it's going to be hard for me to be involved."

 

Sounds like he's going out on loan, possibly played his last game for us.

That's the thing isn't it? A nothing game against average opposition (we never play anyone of note in pre-season) with crap public transport, it's just not a great send off.

I get 84 in 373 for KD

 

and 122 in 347 for DB

 

at least KD would get on a plane

 

 

 

what I don't get is all this sense of animosity towards him

 

has he stayed here too long? he's not as good as he was, but all the managers including DF keep picking him so not sure why he gets so much shit

 

he's been a great player for us, deserves a bit more respect for me - we've been good for each other over the last 10 years

After an interview like that I doubt he will play again, he can't,

 

Thanks Kev, Cheerio

 

We need a new player we can bring into the song

 

 

Who put the ball in the .......... Net

Super...... Super .......,

 

 

 

 

What benefit does a testimonial bring? Serious question as I believe in the past the proceeds went into the players coffers. These days they are all millionaires so I don't see the benefit. He's got his charity set up and he's giving something back to the town using his profile.

 

Never forget that night in Munich and him slamming the ball past Kahn when we wee being battered. A great servant, as was Bibi. Thanks and Good Luck.

Little point in a testimonial unless it's done for charity. But surely club could have handled the whole thing a bit better. from what KD said on Talksport, it's a bit of a PR blunder. I will never forget that night in Munich, thanks KD.

Granted KD not what he was, but what a piss poor effort from BWFC badly handled and yet again another player not treated with the respect he deserves, its got Gartsides fingers all over it has this.

Agree with Sjm I think he's made himself unavailable for selection with certain comments.

I think this is the right decision. He's been absolutely superb for us given that he was signed as a gamble on a free transfer. My favourite SKD moment will probably be him clattering that petulant c*nt Evra, Evra asking "why did you do this", for SKD to reply "because I don't like you".

Which, to be honest, when we're in a scrap for the playoffs, is a bit shit. It could have been his ultimate swansong. Perhaps treating us with the same lack of respect as the club has thrown at him.

 

No one is a winner here.

I'd like the fans packed out the Reebok on the last day of the season against Blackpool to wish Davies well, rather than have a testimonial in front of less than 10,000. That said, I think it's poor of the club telling him he's gonna miss out on one by five days.

Once he's out of contract, he's probably going to sign for someone else (unless he retires, which is unlikely).

 

That means he would have to get permission off his new club to play in a meaningless game in which he might get injured in, just weeks before the new season. Of course, the testimonial could take place as soon as season ends, but you can't see opposition queuing up for that after a long, hard season.

 

As soon as the contract ends, the testimonial is out the window. It's the contract that is the issue for SKD you suspect, not the friendly.

yes that would be good,agree piss poor by the club the guy would of taken reduced wages to stay around in some capacity shame imo.

when all said & done hes been an effective player for us over the years, I reckon it would have been better for him if he had accepted other offers

last summer ................time catches up with everyone .Many on here dont like him & never have done amen to that ,but having a go at him for the

money he has earned at BWFC is a bit below the belt as all of them are screwing the club., including our glorious chairmen whose grubby mits are all

over this one it could have been left to the close season & a dignified exit , but Garside has plenty of form on turfing out loyal players in a less than

decent way.

He can't play again now, untenable after that interview how can he be giving it all now when he won't be a part of it

so this is why there's not many players around anymore with kevs attitude and willingness to commit 100% week in week out to one club. run till their bollocks fall off in every game they play. represent the club admirably and try to set a standard to younger players at their club. because eventually you get treated like a twat.

 

gutted its ended like this, skd deserved better.

I understand why he isn't getting a new deal.

 

I don't understand why it has come out with eight games still to play.

 

If he'd made half a dozen substitute appearances, it might not make much odds. As it is, he's played most weeks.

 

It's stupid.

Not relistened to it but was it the guy who said he wasn't going to renew his season ticket because of this.
