Arise Tom Davies

Like the prince said the best ability is availability

just get rid

No mas, erm, como se dice en Espanol, munnehspunking!

 

[FriethBlade]

just get rid

Contract, contract, contract...another 'we can fix him' failure in the transfer market and allied with Shackleton we r forking out a lot in wages for not very much

 

[Chazzer]

To be fair to Wilder, Tom Davies was signed by Hecky.

He has a fantastic football brain
But a body of play doh

He isn’t physically capable of playing top end football, same as Brewster

We need to stop recruiting with a ‘if we can get/keep him fit’ bollox

A 7/10 playing every week is more use than a 8/10 playing 12 games a season

No room for sentiment. Unless we want to employ them in the kiosks, cleaning the kop bogs or security.

 

[Flumps]

We haven’t given him a new contract he is just entering the final year of the first one.

Ah, my mistake I thought I'd seen something saying he'd extended.

Still though, he needs to get in to something less strenuous, something like... chopstick house building maybe.

Poor lad would rupture his Achilles serving a pint…

No way to “get rid” either, unfortunately, apart from paying him off. Same with Shackleton.

Or slip on the wet floor he was mopping in the bogs and inadvertently inhale some of the coke left on the sinks by the BCC (Blades Coke Crew) before hitting his head on the soap dispenser covering his tresses in cheap soap leading to a drying of the scalp and life changing dandruff issues.

I get the frustration with Davis. Last season he did come good for us when we needed him most though (after Blaster and Souza both got injured). I was thinking this season the opportunity is there for him to play a pivotal role. It is hope rather than expectation though.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

IF we got Davies to a level like last winter then its a boost and a bonus. The plus side this time is that we wouldn't be expecting him to play 90+ games every 3-4 days as we have options

Last season we had no choice to play him and ruin him again. Least we'd have Matos/Soumare/Peck all to play a part.

Its always annoying when a player keeping being injured but I think Davies has already proven what a class player he is at this level. Unlike Brewster and Shackleton where the argument is and always will be, should they have been signed, I just really do hope Davies can be managed appropriately and we can consistently see him in the squad.

Loved that goal against Sunderland

The thing about Davies is we never seem to get told what sort of injury he has. They don't seem like niggling injuries either as they keep him out for a sustained period of time.

I do think we might be in a joint venture to rebuild his skeleton with recycled chopsticks. Thats why its so hush hush...

To be fair it could be the player would rather the manager/club not disclose the specifics of the injury problems.

Judging by the length of time injured we have so far rebuilt/replaced 3.

That is a good point.

Just a quick googling session, seems that 2024 into 2025 was hamstring related, most recent injury was a back issue affecting his calf.

We keep bringing him out in the testing stage and its not quite ready. We are on ChopStik Davies Mk4 now.

I joke but I do feel sorry for the lad and I quite like his chopstick business!

 

[Bladesince59]

Our management is like the Labour Party. No idea how to run a business.
