Day Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Derby County manager Nigel Clough has revealed his interest in Notts County midfielder Ben Davies. The 29-year-old is one of a number of players the Rams are looking at before the transfer window closes on Tuesday. Derby watched Davies against Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday and Clough told BBC Radio Derby: "He's on the radar but we've been out watching lots of games." Notts boss Craig Short said he was aware Davies was being watched but said there had been no official approach. "I don't want to lose him," Short told BBC Radio Nottingham. "No one has called me or the chairman. I think they might be watching him but there is nothing we are aware of." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/derby_county/8943281.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Name: Ben Davies Nationality: English Date of Birth: 27/05/1981 Height: 5' 7" (170cm) Weight: 10st 8lbs (67.19kg) Previous Clubs: Chester City, Kidderminster, Shrewsbury Position: Midfielder http://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/javaImages/fa/ff/0,,10426~7536634,00 Bio: Ben was brought to Meadow Lane in the summer of 2009 on a three-year contract after his contract with Shrewsbury Town expired. His first season with the club couldn't have gone any better, as he thrilled supporters every week with some exciting performances on both wings. Not only did he pick up a League 2 championship winner's medal, making up for Play-Off heartbreak in 2008/09 with the Shrews, he received the Fans' Player of the Year and Goal of the Season awards. An outstanding contributor to the team's success, he carved out 17 goals and chipped in with 15 of his own throughout 2009/10. Many of these came in spectacular style and he has certainly earned the right to be known as the side's dead ball specialist. Contract Expires: 2012 Stats Notts County 10/11 League Games: 3 (0) Goals: 0 Notts County 09/10 League Games: 45 (0) Goals: 14 Shrewsbury Town 08/09 League Games: 45 (0) Goals: 12 Shrewsbury Town 07/08 League Games: 26 (1) Goals: 6 Shrewsbury Town 06/07 League Games: 45 (0) Goals: 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 do we need a midfielder at the moment? I would say defense and up front we may need to look at a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 I would say we do if we can afford to, Doyle is doing ok but you can't expect him to come in and play a full season. Davies sounds like he knows where the net is as well which can only be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianRam Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 How much ? Around 400-600k I have heard. If I would give a percentage of him being a Derby player I'd say 80%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
