Another very poor defender. Not even better than Neil Collins.

Not seen much of him lately but I am certain he used to be better than NC! No-one, not even Malcolm Allison, would have paid £8m+ for Collins!

Funny you mention Collins, he could well be a regular in the premiership next year while we are in the slums of the chumpionship, funny how times change.

 

[JOSWolf]

He was terrible when I saw him play against Ipswich the other week.

 

[Taffywolf]

Was good for The albion and when he 1st went to Villa but that was a couple of seaons ago. If he can get that form back he would be a good signing, If he can't thenhe wouldn't..

Leeds recent good run has coincided with Collins not playing.

Not the best of games to judge someone on given it was played in a blizzard.

 

[johnybig32]

Collins has been playing?

With regards to the two mentiones, can they seriously be worse than what we have?

Davies had plenty of potential and as for Woodgate, If he can get fit and we can be the vehicle that helps that, then it would be fantastic!!

 

[Paul76]

Albion reject.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Albion reject.

With a funny shaped head.

 

[johnybig32]

The usual sensibly comments then...

 

[Paul76]

Villa reject.

 

[North West Wanderer]

I'd be happy - undoubted qualities.

So did the Ipswich defenders but they looked far better. Davies looked clumsy. Maybe his injury problems have caught up with him?

Bull, Dennison, Thompson?

No comment.

Davies and Wheater are better than Stearman and Moyokolo so either would do imo. My worry is none of our main targets will come and we end up with Sean St Ledger.

I think one of those will be pretty certain.

What, one of Davies, Wheater or St Ledger?!

 

[North West Wanderer]

Davies or Wheater.

 

[Taffywolf]

Zubar - - Davies / Wheater -- Berra - - Foley

You get no where by putting square pegs in round holes. Foley is not a left back, he is a right back. Foley should play right back and we need a new left back just like we have done for the last 4 seasons..
Charlie Mulgrew, Matt Hill, Van Damme, Elokobi ring any bells???

 

[johnybig32]

I really think he is capable of playinjg there. Reminds me so much of Irwin anyway.

You tell me why he wouldn't? Apart from the fact he is right footed, buthe is ok withhis left!

 

[Purple Ronnie]

Better than what we have got, and better than the messiah Lescott

 

[Veins Of Old Gold]

Better than what we have got, and better than the messiah Lescott

You think Davies is better than Lescott? Aaron Lescott?

 

[NewarkWolf]

Davies is better than anything we have got. Get him and dunne in from villa!!!!!!

 

[Veins Of Old Gold]

He's not better than Joleon Lescott mate. Aaron yes but not Joleon.

Dunne a big yes. Davies a no from me. Seen him recently for Leicester and he was awful. We don't have time for these players to come in and try and find their previous form. We need players to come in and make a difference.

The truth is we won't get players like that. What you are saying is proven prem players... Well I can't see them coming to Wolves with a big posibility that they will be playing championship next season.

 

[Veins Of Old Gold]

I can't see us signing anyone for cash this window.

It'll be loan signings so the above is quite possible.

 

[JOSWolf]

We haven't got one defender that could lace Lescotts boots at the present time.

 

[SanFranWolf]

Daily Mirror: 'Aston Villa are offering defender Curtis Davies as a £2.5m makeweight as they try to seal a part-exchange deal with Blackburn for centre-back Chris Samba, 26, who is rated at £6m by his club.'

Daily Mirror - Blackburn are set to receive an offer from Tottenham for unsettled defender Christopher Samba

Daily Mirror - J Woodgate is set to sign for West Ham or Wolves on loan.

Foley to left back?? Who do you thin k he is Stephen he's here he's there he's every $$$$ing where Ward?

I agree - Davies is fifth choice at Villa. He has to re-build his career. That will take time - the one thing we don't have. What a player was three years ago is irrelevant. The question is what is he now. Dunne is the player we probably need right now and Wheater would be the next best - young but very experienced for ihis age (23). However with the way things are going my bet is us getting a third choice player in and Davies would represent that.

 

[cobweb]

Davies is a better player than Wheater, so we'd be getting 2nd choice (if dunne doesnt come that is) He doesnt have to rebuild anything, he's been playing for leicester for the past couple of months in the same league as wheater.

How many games has Davies played for Villa in three and a half years and why is he currently fifth choice if he is so good? He was certainly a good player once and perhaps could be again. I don't believe that at this moment he would make a great difference especially as Stearman is playing very well and Berra has improved too. Also Craddock back in a couple of weeks. In our current situation any new player needs to make an instant difference as a first choice, first team player. Davies does not fall into that category imv.
