If and it's a big If but if Selles can get Davo fit through his high intensity training regime, TD will be way too good for the championship better than Pecky and Blaster, Midfield of Blaster and Davies would be ridiculous for this level but unfortunately Davies can't last more than 3 games without then being injured for 3 months or more but just see what Ruben wants to do, If Davies leaves then we'll need to be quick in replacing him with say Alzate or Burger, However neither will be as good as Davies even if they are good players in their own way

 

[Keen Blade]

We absolutely must get out of this thing of
"He'd be great if he wasn't always injured"
FFS , stop signing crocks.
How can you blend a winning team if your ingredients are frequently unavailable ?

 

[Blades98]

Clear fake account. Took 3 seconds to realise scrolling down his profile. Move on.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Obviously bollocks. Delete thread

 

[robbiez666]

Good to see we're trying to get a bit of money back from him!

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Surprised to see he hasn't paired the shirt with maybe a purple kilt and knee socks

 

[BLADES1988]

I see they've banned him from wearing heels, probbaly due to his ligaments and muscles being made from rich tea biscuits

Well he managed to last 1.5 games before getting injured again. I'm guessing we won't see him now for weeks.

I had to laugh at Chris' assessment that Tom "had been getting back into a rhythm", after featuring in 3 matches.

It's such a shame because he clearly has a touch of class about him, but it seems like his old injuries cannot be fixed.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

It's just sad for the lad.
Really difficult to see him getting another serious contract.

Not a fan of the jokes, I'd say he's pretty heartbroken to not be able to do what he loves.
He's had a lot of mental health struggles that are no doubt linked to his constant cycles of disappointment & rehab.

 

[Ron_Justice]

The one yesterday looked like an impact injury - maybe I'm stretching, he certainly was, but as he went for a ball, their player caught him just above the Knee, with the what looked like the studs. Not sure how you protect from those types of injuries, without pulling out of challenges, which would see Davis criticised for a different issue. He's got a full blooded style so, for him, maybe these things are par for the course.

He’s finished at Prem & Champ level after his contract expires this summer with us. Shame for a very talented footballer - but his body simply is not up to it anymore.

 

[GymClassHero]

Unfortunately he seems unable to recover properly from an old injury. Similar to Michael Owen in that respect - great player, but his body simply isn't up to it.

He'll probably get a pay-as-you-play deal somewhere. I'd keep him if those were the terms.

The way he was holding his leg suggested it more on the internal side of the thigh ( Adductor(s)) not an easy fix either way.

Is 'pay as you play' a real thing? I always see it suggested but can't think of anyone who's been on that sort of deal.

It is, but it’s now just someone accepting a lower base salary and then having a heavily incentivised contract based on playing time and availability. It’s not the old school ‘don’t play and you get nowt’ contract.

For someone like Davies he’s still going to earn decent money somewhere, just not PL money.

It must be, plenty of players out there that spend more time on the physio table than the pitch so it's the only logical solution.

Either that or nobody will go near them, unless it's a very low wage.
