2022/23 Tom Davies

[Papa Shango]

Thought he’d made it before he had.

There is absolutely nothing to base that on.

He is a good lad is Tom, he's just not overly good at football, there is no "reason" for it. He just aint that good.

 

[Furey1878]

Onana
Gana
Iwobi
Garner
Doucoure
Davies

Be foolish to sell him this window IMO.

Calculated risk given Iwobi's injury isn't as bad as originally feared?

I'd sell him myself.

 

[Ballswhiteboots]

I’ve always felt he is a good Championship player and not much more, but then again you can say the same about a lot of our squad.

Well they say Iwobi out for 3 weeks, so think we should hold onto both till near end of window just in case he's out longer.

If we were gonna shift one midfielder out it just has to be mega wages lazy donkey Doucoure for me.

 

[hktoffee]

Sell.

I have always felt that Davies possesses good vision and positional awareness on the offensive end. He can break the lines with a well placed pass, and finds himself in good positions to score routinely for a box-to-box midfielder.

Unfortunately, he lacks the quality to execute said well placed pass or confidently finish when in position to score.

I believe we as fan base have watched his form dip and stagnate in correspondence with his own realization of this lack of quality.

Although I agree that it is time, it will be sad to see him go as he is good professional that just lacks the top flight talent, which is the opposite of what we are accustomed to seeing from the local boys in years past.

I will always remember how delighted I was to see him "Ronaldo Chop" Yaya Toure in the build up to that goal against City back in 2017.

lol

I can sum it up shorter and more succinctly

He’s absolutely gash.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Not far off 25 now was better player at 20.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Sell.

Actual logic from the club? Nah don’t believe it

 

[gonetomorrow]

He'd make a good mascot.

At this stage that sounds like a reason to keep him.

 

[stevie blott]

Yeah, wait until he is practically a free agent before deciding we want money for him. It would be funny if it wasnt so predictably inept.

To be fair we don’t know if there was much interest in years gone by. Given his form they may of found it difficult to find a buyer. It’s not the first time, look at the likes of Bolasie, Tosun etc.

Then why keep the lad here, why give him a contract. If he's not good enough, cut your losses... Certainly significantly earlier than six months before he walks for nowt.
I get your point like, and I actually like Tom... but christ, every footballing decision we make is baffling, costly and wasteful.

It could be a suggestion
