Let's be honest, Curtis Davies has always been a gobshite. If he played half as good a game as he talked he wouldn't be playing in the fizzy pop league with dog shite fc

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

Oi Davies, your a GOBSHITE !

You have to laugh at the cart horse.

Big players? I'd rather see us sign the 'Bennetts and the Lowtons" than spunk £10 million on a flat footed lummox who mistakenly thinks he's a world class centre half.

Who ask for his view :) Not me. We tried big spending on established players and it doesn't work. So we are trying a different way.

Big players? Mediocre players for big transfers and big wages. I don't remember us signing players like Henry, Van Persie or Rooney.

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.

Maybe because he cost us £10m and played like, in his own words, a pub player.

As for him putting in better performances than Clarke - there's a reason they don't play in the same division.

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.

By 'big' I think he meant tall, as in himself, Heskey, Harewood, Beye and Knight.

My abiding memory was when he needlessly tried to blast the ball of the Rapid player on the halfway line to get a throw in and totally missed him. The ball sails out for their corner to get the 2-2 goal.
