£10m Curtis Davies speaks

[Risso]

Always liked Curtis and, whilst admitting he had the odd nightmare, never understood why people dislike him so much.  Some of his performances were way better than anything Clarke has so far produced at centre back, yet the latter is strangely revered by some.  However  I agree he should talk less. 

The 'odd' nightmare?  He was an absolute liability.  Easier to count the half decent games he had, which were few and far between.

Didn't old Martin buy him after selling Cahill?

Well I disagree. I think he was okay in most of his games, excellent in a few and terrible in a few, especially when paired with Cuellar - yet Carlos is another that seems to escape blame despite frequent incompetence.  From what I've seen of Clarke so far he's been a liability in many games, either at left back or centre back.      And Curtis admitted he'd played like a pub player in one game - but the hard of thinking keep bringing it up as of he's condemned himself for all time.  Curtis' problem was, and seemingly still is, being too outspoken, and the fact that the idiot O'Neill overpaid massively for him.  People seem to have taken a dislike to him for that as much as anything.

Curtis Davies is clearly as shit at thinking and speaking as he is at defending.

A good move either way, ahem.

[SoccerHQ]

What a waste of money this bloke was, 10m when he'd played one premier league season (and probably about 10 more premier league games than Gary Cahill at the time who he replaced).

Tells you all that the only premier league club that want him are Norwich.

[myf]

not sure what the issue is. can't disagree with what he said really

[Phil from the upper holte]

My lasting memory of Curtis Davies was in that first game of the season against Wigan, where he went to head a long ball from one of their players, and just completely misjudged it and let it sail over his head.  When he partnered Carlos Cuellar at centre back, we averaged three goals against for a good dozen or so games.

My lasting memory of him was that back pass against Vienna that he twatted out for a corner. It really was so bad.

Yes it was extremely poor, the fact the worst thing he did was leave the Albion seems totally lost on him

[not3bad]

I wonder if he's made any shots at his own goal that scraped the bar lately.  Twat.

[Pete3206]

Davis was expensive and cack. The end.

[Dave Cooper please]

Gobshite is one of my favourite words in the English language,

Oi Davies, your a GOBSHITE !

It's a pity your actual English language skills are so poor.

It's 'you're'.

[Des Little]

Who cares what he thinks? He's a semi-professional never-has-been.  Idiot.

[MoetVillan]

I remember him scoring at Anfield when i was sitting with the dipper home fans.  I dont care how much he earns or costs in that respect, I would buy him a pint for his part in a memorable game

[Villafirst]

They've got some good players. But I can't remember what any of them are called.

Yeah, their best player Lukaku is only on loan from Chelsea. Can't understand why he didn't start the match to be honest. When he came on he was a real handful for Vlaar and Clark.
