You're right. I can't see any risk in signing an injury prone footballer who's made 64 appearances in the past 4 years rather than a young Davies who has played 126 games in the past 4 years. After all he did have a bad game the other day
Must admit, I was one of those that really wanted his return in the summer but the guy is a crock, he's it not what we need. We need stability and players who won't get injured all of the time, we need to build a team.
I don't think this is about the money because I think we'd be able to stretch to just £1m over what we'd offered, I think it's more of a reluctance by FS to rise his bid higher than £1.6m. We all know how stingy he can be over a couple of million, remember Anelka and Boa Morte...
