Its already been said but Davies was superb with Laursen alongside him, hence starting 34 times that season. Alongside anyone else, he felt he had to cover them too and his own game suffered. I have a really bad feeling, again, that this one will come back to ahunt us. He played 49 League games for us, and we will never oficially know the reson he never made it to 50, but i suspect it was a huge payment to Albion and a bigger percentage increase in salary.

They're absolutely infatuated with our reject players. They really want to be us.

Do not sell him to a rival. Full stop .......

They're not our rivals. Spurs and Man City are our rivals.

Superb I think is a bit strong but he did play better with Laursen, like a lot of others i thought we had a ball playing centre half at last, shame it didnt work out

I thought Davies was playing excellently before his injury and sad to see him go to the dark side of the City, but we hve good centre halves and he was not going to play here

So long Curtis. I've been one of your most loyal defenders of the last year or so. Still convinced there's a top player there somewhere but I've got my work cut out with NRC at the mo so I'll leave you to it.

Absolutely no loss at all, we have got Baker, Carlos and Clark as more than ready replacements for our regular centre halfs!

£2m or whatever is about the right amount for a player who can be very good, but has an equal chance of being absolutely awful.  We were stiffed good and proper when we bought him.

I seem to remember that before he signed for us he was being touted as the next Ferdinand and future England defender and captain.
You mean Anton?

Yes, I'd entirely forgotten the scatterbrained egomaniac was ever our manager.
