He's a free agentEverton player supposedly training with us. Could be an inspired buy at this level. Nothing confirmed, just twitter talk.
I guess the coup bit is that he’s played his entire career at prem level. 161 games, 60 are sub appearances.Is he an upgrade on what we have? Some saying it would be a 'coup' if we signed him
I mean maybe.Could he do howsons job, I don’t think many of us see him as a classical defensive midfielder in the mould of George Boateng which Davies equally isn’t?
We need a more aggressive CDM to take the pressure off Howson, athletic, gets stuck in. A Boateng type. By the sounds of it, Davies is not that type of player.
Always looked a decent tidy player for Everton, and they offered him a new deal which he turned down. So can't be THAT shyte.
Trust Carrick and the staff on this one
No way do I believe this player would be a “revelation”. He has lost his way and Everton fans happy to see the back of him. Toxic Tom they called him.Get the feeling that Davies would be a bit of a revelation in the Championship. He’s in essence a box to box midfielder (with more of the second box sense really, he does like to move about and bomb forward), feel that criticisms of his physicality are somewhat unfair from Everton fans given the pace of the top flight and the fact he’s struggled with injury. I seem to remember that when he broke through and until those injury struggles, he was a natural ball winner in midfield - a move down a tier could reawaken that style of play especially with more opportunities to have time on the ball.

No team quick to sign him as a free agent. It’s a firm No Thanks from me.
