2017/18 Tom Davies

[davek]

I completely get the view that Davies might be a Jack of all trades and master of none. The bottom line for me, though, is that he's played under two ball bag managers. Only under a new manager who has half a clue how to blend a team and find the best roles for all our youngsters can we judge Davies.

I think under a different coach who favours off the ball movement and circulating the ball a lot more he'll demonstrate his value.

And yet keep Rooney

Definitely, I agree with you there.

Different players, plus I'd play Rooney off the main striker and don't consider him part of the midfield malaise.

He's about to get that chance though - no excuses at all by Christmas.

I'd definitely like to see Davies under someone who's not completely useless.

The slight problem is, we sacked the one manager out of three under which he performed to the required level. Will he survive underperforming with a fourth??

Don't their seasons start around then anyway?

I may be making this up...

In that scenario not that many in our squad would survive........

Excuses. We make too many of them.

A proper good footballer will shine under any manager or system.

Good!

I'm absolutely fine with that mate. If we've got 37 professionals, I think you could make a case for selling at least 28 of them before the end of June.

I would keep 5 of them, 5.
