It was a big mistake getting rid of Cahill not Davis.

To be fair Bolton have been good for Cahill, right club at the right time. Would he have developed at the same rate by staying? Doubt it.

Steven Davis may do okay at Rangers in their tinpot league, but he was well below par at Fulham.
No loss at all.

Selling Cahill was a mistake.

Cahill is a good example of how/where we need to use loans more for our youngsters.
I feel that Brad Jnr and Delf could do with a long stint abroad.  It would allow them to develop their game without risk to villa's form.

In addition they will not get bored and demand to leave a la Cahill.

There was a fairly intelligent Bolton fan who called 5 Live the other week who said that despite popular opinion it was Zat Knight who's been their star defender under Coyle.

I'm with Chris on this, it's easy to knock O'Neill but Cahill didn't want to wait for his chance and was sold. If he'd have hung on six months he'd have been playing anyway. Shit happens, you move on.

And I also think big Zat was better than he 's given credit for.

I liked Cahill and don't think we should've sold him at the time. I think Clark is a better prospect though.

Davis didn't last long at Fulham did he?
