Curtis Davies To Blues - Transfer confirmed

[pablopicasso_10]

he was never the same after his shoulder injury and surgery....

[MadJohnnyC]

Davies was very solid next to Martin Laursen and very poor next to every other sod (such as Zat Knight). It would appear that he needs an experienced pro talking to him to get the best out of him. I do rate Roger Johnson to be fair so he might, unfortunately, do very well there. Thats 5 cast offs i make it on their books now. Laughable.

[Clark W Griswold]

I know Davies devides opinion, in my opinion he isn't good enough

I would take this a step further and say that he is utter shite. Him and Beye managed to get us knocked out of Europe this season due to their shitness.

It's really hard to judge Curtis. He had a good reputation at WBA but basically had barely played any PL football - we paid for his potential and the odd link to Arsenal helped drive the price up. He had a bad start, then he settled down, then he snapped his Achilles tendon (at Arsenal), then, when he returned to the side, he looked great for six months alongside Laursen.

I suppose you could say most defenders would look good against Laursen. Then Laursen was out, and Davies looked rocky... then his shoulder problems started, and then... well, that was about it.

So, I really don't know how this is going to go. He could be great at Birmingham, or awful, and better suited to the Championship. The fact that O'Neill last season didn't pick him, then KMac largely overlooked him, and now GH is prepared to sell him without even giving him one game under him, suggests he's not that good after all.

Really interested to see how he does at Blues.

How much would we have had to pay if he had played one more league game?

[garyshawsknee]

Hope he gets the chance to rebuild his career,its a shame it's with that lot. Maybe when they get relegated,we'll get the chance to sign Johson.

confirmed on villa official on facebook

[richard moore]

Shame somehow really. I can remember the excitement on here when he signed.

Always seemed a decent bloke, someone I wanted to succeed

Mind you, he made me as nervous as hell most of the time...

I wish he wasn't joining the inbreds as I would like to have wished him luck. As it is, I can't, of course...

[Ian.]

Well we got more of a return on than Balabam I suppose. Like others a real shame as I thought he was going to be something quite special.

[cheltenhamlion]

That's one serious loss on what we coughed up for him.

[JUAN PABLO]

My Leicester mates didnt like the way he was always gobbing off in the papers...  thought he was better than he actually was,   will suit blose.....


MON made him the most expensive pub player ever...

He wasn't much cop really.

[PaulWinch again]

I thought he had the potential to be good, I remember when he played against Arsenal at their place and was excellent. Oh well goodbye Curtis. what was the fee?

[Matt C]

Self confessed pub player joins pub team. The end.
