Curtis Davies

[CJ]

That hoof over Guzan's crossbar from the touchline against Rapid summed up just how far his confidence has slipped since the injury.  Hopefully he can recover his game or he will be an expensive loss to us.

Edit - Guzan not Friedel

[ktvillan]

There is a very good player in there somewhere and I think he will eventually prove the doubters wrong.

[TheSandman]

Disappointed it's not for good.

There's a very good player in me somewhere.

Not good enough I'm afraid. Six months of decent form alongside the best centre half we've had since God, and those good times have been heavily outweighed by some of the most hapless performances I've seen from a centre half down the Villa, let alone one who cost the best part of £10m

[Dante Lavelli]

No doubt its a good move for us. 
Hopefully he can regain some form/confidence, if nothing else he'll be worth more if we sell him.

An indirect pat on the back to Clark as well.

[Namaste]

Ciaran Clark.

[Toronto Villa]

I'm just not convinced by him anymore. He talks a brilliant game, but he isn't that good a player in my opinion. I agree that Laursen made him look very good, but he has to be good of his own accord. I just don't think that given the responsibility he can be a top PL central defender. Maybe I'm wrong and he can bounce back by playing at a lower level for a while. Or we'll just confirm that the Championship actually is his level.

[Concrete John]

I think he'd do well for us partnered with Dunne, but he's now so far down the pecking order I'm not convinced we'll ever see him get a decent run again.  So probably best he goes and we get a few million back on him.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Not good enough.

This season he'll be remembered for booting the ball out for a corner when it would've been easier to take a shot at their goal.

[PeterWithesShin]

There's little doubt that there is a good player in him, whether we will ever see it on a regular basis is another matter. Same applies to Sidwell.

[eamonn]

I have a feeling his contract is up next summer so we sell him in January when we'll do well to get £3m I reckon or he goes for free at the end of the season. I could be wrong, maybe he signed a four year deal in 2008 when he joined permanently.

[olaftab]

Shame.. that is the first step into the abyss for Curtis

[Phil from the upper holte]

At least Sidwell is nearly out of contract! To be honest I'd like him sold now so we can at least try and re-coup some of the money wasted on him. My mate's an Albion fan and he said he was shit.

They thought they had a good deal till we forced Moore on them for £3m

[JUAN PABLO]

I thought Leicester had loads of money now.... they should be giving us some of it ....

[Dante Lavelli]

They probably are to some degree, either paying Davies' wages and maybe a loan fee.
They've also taken NcNaughton from spurs so they've splashed a bit of cash on loan deals in the past week.
