2022/23 Tom Davies

[BluePaul86]

Everyone keeps saying he's a good squad player but what does he do?

Plays well when given an opportunity.

That's what a good squad player does.

This . He has no decent , prem level qualities ,

 

[everton1953]

Belongs to a lower level of football to which we are unlikely to drop into anytime soon.

He is ok at tackling/intercepting.

 

[catcherintherye]

It’s all dead sound until our midfielders get injured and he’s back starting games. Most people know he’s not good enough. If he stays as 6th choice midfielder this season then fine but if we’re playing games with him in the starting 11 then we’re starting with ten men. Too slow, too weak, too sloppy on the ball.

How good is our 6th choice going to be though mate?

We cant carry much better than him as 6th choice. He gives his all. I'd rather him than a Gomes/Schneiderlin who are on big money and you have no idea what you are getting.

 

[catcherintherye]

Sell. He should have ambition to play regular football, and he's never getting that again here. £5m in January will do.

But then we have to go and buy someone for more than 5m, probably pay them more wages, to be a rotation cover player.

 

[Goat]

Perfectly fine as a squad player.

Good lad, liked around the club, never gives anything less than 100%, perfect player to have around the squad.

 

[BornBlue76]

Always brings energy … has had some excellent performances even when in and out the side… with real quality in the midfield alongside him it could help his development even more and he can play to his strengths which is bustling .. breaking up play and finding some key passes .. without being the last line of midfield defense which never suited him.

 

[mikel_88]

Was ok yesterday and when started against ligerpook he had a good game. Agree that he needs to show more looked like he has been able to push forward more has a good range of skills but dors not really stand out in any. I would like to see him add more goals and assists esp if we continue with the 3 at cm. Is a big season for him with the new options we have

 

[fabricsince1985]

Thought he celebrated the two goals well to be fair, big contribution. He also seems to be quite well liked by the rest of the squad.

I've not particularly been a fan of his. But if he is to be 5th or there abouts choice, then as an option he's fine. It's whether he is happy to fulfil that role.

 

[roy vernon]

Let's have a bit of perspective here, we are, at best, a mid table team, although Lampard seems to be building something here. Do we really think our 5th choice central midfielder should be of top 6 starting quality? How much better a player than Davies do we expect to be able to get to come here and sit on the bench for the same kind of money as Davies?

Tommy D will never be a top drawer premier league midfielder, but, he is a player who can fill in and is not out of his depth in the premier league.

 

[Tel001]

He is ok at tackling/intercepting.

He’s ok at it. Again , he does not have one “decent “ attribute

 

[4 Eyes Better Than 2]

Has been stealing a wage for years.

 

[GoldenToffee]

While he can "do a job", I hate seeing wage stealers at the club, and he knows full well that he's about 5th to 6th choice for a starting position, with only himself to blame for half a decade of decline since his breakthrough season.

With that in mind, I'd love to see him punted asap.

 

[Littlesue]

Looks like he preparing for a life after football
