Guest DavB93 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I'd take him, sure Sam could get the best out of him. Plus if we get this Norweigan center half we are covered then we can hopefully get a LB in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest samtoonarmy Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I wouldnt pay any more than £6m for him. I think if we get Davies, Hangeland and an experianced centre-half...then I think our defence would look in pritty good shape... oh yeah and a new left-back aswell (Shorey/Baines) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 We may be covered but i still reckon we need someone else with experience Taylor Davies and Hangeland doesnt seem to solid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShearMagic Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hangeland, Davies and Shorey.... I'm liking that. They're not absolutely brilliant players, but they're more than capable at premiership level. All improvements on what we had last season.

Guest DavB93 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 We've got Rozenhal who think Sam will use as our main defender along side Taylor. Davies and the norweigan would be very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not by any stretch my first choice, but if it's a toss up between getting these in before the end of next week, or panic buys on the last day of the window, i'll go for these lot.

Dokko Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 About fuking time. We cant attract top players plike Heinze, were fuking struggling to pull in average foreign talent like Beye, so we need to go for the likes of Baines, Davies & Shorey, even if it means paying a little extra. So what if we paid £8m for him? We paid £5m for Bramble how many years ago? The market is more inflated than ever and Davies is a massive class above Bramble, you could even say the same for Boumsong, and unlike them two fuks, Davies will hold that price tag, and it will eventually grow. Same goes for Baines, at £6m he's a great signing for the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 .COM saying there could be something in this one...... The imminent transfer of Luton Town defender Leon Barnett to West Bromwich Albion has been interpreted in some quarters as the first step to the departure of unsettled centre back Curtis Davies from the Hawthorns. Newcastle have been consistently linked with the 22 year-old, who has relinquished the captain's armband after seeing a transfer request rejected by the Baggies. Interest in the defender first came to light during Glenn Roeder's stint at the helm, but the toon connection with Nigel Pearson remains - the current Magpies coach having worked with Davies at Albion as both assistant to Bryan Robson and in his own right as caretaker boss. With Steven Taylor, Davies and Pearson also share an England U21 connection. No confirmation has yet emerged as to who the mystery defender was who turned down a move to Tyneside last week - but it's claimed that he was from a Premiership club, which would exclude Championship player Davies. For no apparent reason we'll add in the useless information that: 1. Davies was red-carded for the first time last season after two foul challenges on a certain Mark Viduka, then with the smoggies. 2. He hasn't played a competitive game since breaking the fifth metatarsal in his foot last March - the same injury Joey Barton sustained last Saturday. PS: Another revived transfer link is that of FC Copenhagen stopper Brede Hangeland, with the Norwegian rag VG running a story on Tuesday apparently confirming our interest. Quotes then surfaced from his Mister 15% naming Newcastle as one of a number of clubs sniffing round the 26 year-old who is under contract to the Danes for another two years.

Guest trainer Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Personally i think Davies is very overated, and I think we need an older experienced centre half to guide and teach Taylor. With Baines obviously available does anyone else get the feeling Big Sam just isnt interested? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ridzuan Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Time is running out for us to get new players and even though I dont think Davies is worth that much,I think he is good enough for us and hopefully,this deal,if it is indeed happening,will be settle sooner rather than later.

SteveMc Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Pie is spot on here. They did say that credible sources had mentioned a medical. However, incoming number 5 was followed by a big ? In any case they don't seem to be saying much about Davies, just saying that he has been linked by some people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
