The enigma that is Tom Davies

[JOEYDEE]

Hamstring this time..

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

It's what's known as setback.

 

[The Fox]

Its a real shame his body just cant hold up because he's probably the best football player at the club .

 

[Superblades]

I really hope there comes a day when we stop signing players like this.

Don’t hold your breath.

 

[Superblades]

I can’t see anyone offering him much once he leaves, maybe pay as you play deals at best, but then he would hardly ever get paid so he may just decide to retire

Some club out there will offer him a deal. He will slowly work his way down the leagues doing what he does. Feel for the kid but he’s done, his body can’t handle it and if it could, he would be in the Prem.

Me too mate, but I think we look for them based on 2 things, obviously 1 that its the cheaper option, 2, there's a possibility it might come off!.... it never does

 

[Nick Jansky]

Me too mate, but I think we look for them based on 2 things, obviously 1 that its the cheaper option, 2, there's a possibility it might come off!.... it never does

Except when it does, as with the previously injury prone David McGoldrick.

 

[JayGreen17]

That’s him done for us, just terminate him.

 

[TJ blade]

That’s him done for us, just terminate him.

Well terminate his contract

 

[103SecondsOfMagic]

Biggest waste of wages in our history ((depending on what we were paying Brewster) Hes been here going on 3 years, is permanently injured and will be on very big wages.

Most of this summer's signings were far worse imho

 

[MKY]

Me too mate, but I think we look for them based on 2 things, obviously 1 that its the cheaper option, 2, there's a possibility it might come off!.... it never does

Every now and then we unearth at mcgoldrick type, but it’s rare.

 

[AWetFlannel]

Shhhhhhhh. Let's all slag him and the club off without having to engage with reality....

 

[Keen Blade]

It felt almost comical when some weeks ago CW was describing TD as a player who - in his words - "is crucial to our success" - when he must know the guy is made of wet biscuits.

CW in full-in denial , like he was with JoC , which became a significant part of our downfall in 2020.

The denial , I mean , not the injury.

 

[de g.]

Announced he's leaving when his contract expires.

 

[ben1987]

Shame really.

Could be a class above at this level with Jairo but one can’t play more than 60 mins and the other is injured for months on end.

I’ll always remember him and Peck running to the point of collapse in that injury crisis at Watford away last season

GLTTL but probably a premier league wage gone. Bet he’s in the top 2/3 earners.

 

[Red Hot Currie]

GLTTL... but the situation with his fitness just wasn't tenable any longer. Great talent and a popular figure, but physically unable to play professional football at this level consistently enough. It's a shame and also frustrating, because on the few occasions he did get on the pitch you could see his quality. Good luck to him wherever he ends up.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Sad for him but unsure why we are announcing it now?! It was obviously going to happen but what's gained by not doing amongst the usual retained list/last week of the season

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Positive about Chris is he’s probably starting now on who’s he’s letting go

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Announced he's leaving when his contract expires.

GLTTL.

Seems a nice bloke and pity he hasn't fulfilled his football potential due to his injuries.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

GLTTL. Good player, good bloke.

 

[Bladesman]

Quality player, awful fitness and awful decision to give him a 3 year deal.

If he keeps having injury issues may he need to retire?

 

[alcoblade]

3 seasons - wow. 1288 minutes (equating to 14 games).

What an incredible waste of money.

 

[Grappler]

Sad for him but unsure why we are announcing it now?! It was obviously going to happen but what's gained by not doing amongst the usual retained list/last week of the season

Maybe to give him a head start and alert clubs that he will be available?

Just a guess, as I have no idea, but maybe if he knew he wasn't in our plans, he asked the club for a favour?, announce it now and get ahead of the game.

But what if he now doesn't put the effort in in the potential remaining 8 minutes of football?

 

[ml1997]

Devastated, what are we going to do without him?

But seriously, he’s a premier league player who performed for us when fit but that was sadly rare. GLTTL

 

[SwissBlade]

Cracking player when fit, which was virtually never.

Shame and genuinely wish him well, wherever he ends up

 

[JJ Sefton]

Best of luck to him. Not his fault it hasn’t worked out.

 

[dexter101]

He seems a decent bloke and wish him all the best.

His goal last season against Sunderland was the one that got me dreaming of promotion...

Looking at Brewster, maybe he will be in a position to get an early place with another club, get fit and play a decent role with them. I hope to see him playing as he is good player when fit.

Definitely a cracking player, when fit

 

[Champagneblade]

Positive about Chris is he’s probably starting now on who’s he’s letting go

If that’s the case we might not be able to put a team together by Saturday!
