Bingy Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 He's got a strange loop to his crosses. They dip late which must be a nightmare for defenses but great for the attack who see it all the time in training. Looks like he would be a good addition. 29 he'd be in his prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampant Rob Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Looks good on that highlights video. Great set piece specialist which is what we lack. Just wondering whether an attacking midfielder is really the priority. I would only be looking at someone like Davies if Commons is on his way.

notts123 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Davies doesn't mind putting a tackle in don't worry about that, he can play either side of midfield with ease as you can see on the videos he creates chances from everywhere on the pitch. He states that his preferred position is in the centre midfield. I've seen him play there 5/6 times over the past few season and you wouldn't know the difference, really versatile player. He's not a lazy player either - he works really hard off the ball as well. As you say his balls into the box are so difficult to read, even against premiership defences that we've played in recent months - such as Sunderland, Wigan, Wolves and Fulham - they all really struggled to deal with him. I think he'd make the step up no problem, this seasons only his first season above League 2 level - its crazy really when you look at the talent and ability he has.

CornwallRam Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 From that video he looks class, I can really see him becoming a fans' favourite. The last time a potential Derby player looked that good on youtube was Kaz...oh bugger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex W Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I thought Kaz had some decent games too, just a crappy attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoneedshuls Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Says on BBCsport website we've gone in again with a £250,000 offer but I would think they won't accept less than 300k. Also says on there that commons deal could be finalised soon there's an offer both parties like I think. So would Davies be a replacement for sav?

Day Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 So would Davies be a replacement for sav? Davies is an attacking midfielder, Savage is...erm...a more sideways thinking midfielder shall we say, so you wouldn't of thought that he would be a replacement no. More likely a replacement for Bueno when he goes back, then again with Clough he could be our new keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Paul Ince said on Radio Derby, that we'd shown interest but not put any bid in for him. He also was very pee'd off with our interest, as it's un settling their player. Doncaster will come in and snap him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well savs off too MLS apparently and I was saying replacement as clough likes the attacking game on the deck ( Which won't happen with bywater in goal ) I still think we need 2 compitent defenders more than another midfielder though. I wouldn't mind seeing st ledger or de Leat at pride park prefereably ledger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimacked Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Clough has been saying for the last year or so that Derby lacked a player who could put the ball into the box. Looking at the video clip there it looks like Davies meets that description perfectly and seems to rise to the occasion when Notts are up against Premiership opposition. His assists rate is excellent and he takes excellent free kicks. We lack anyone apart from Commons who can consistently deliver dangerous balls into the box. He sounds like he would fit in perfectly. No doubt we`ll be pipped at the post by Preston or Doncaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 peculiar bid...£250k? hardly going to snatch our hand off if he's got 18 months left on his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Test the water, see how much they laugh at the offer. If its a PMSL then up it to 800k, a LMAO 500k, LOL 350k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Notts County manager Paul Ince tells BBC Radio Nottingham that he is unhappy with Derby County who have expressed an interest in signing midfielder Ben Davies. Listen to Ince talking: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/notts_county/9360971.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts123 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Paul Ince won't want to sell him and the board won't either to be honest, I think it's highly doubtful he will leave before the end of his current contract. At the end of the day our chairmans aims are to get into the Championship this season or next and if not has already said Ince's job will be underthreat. He wants to move the club foreward so selling our best player is going against what hes stated, and knowing the kind of chairman he is - it's very unlikely he will ever go against hwat he says. Hes stated numerous times he rejected bids forr Davies and would take a massive offer for us to let him leave. The offers reported around 250k where are we going to find anyone as good as him for 250k who'll play on the wages Davies is on? It would be silly to sell him.

smiffy Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Why dont we just offer what we think he is worth, get it over with, and either get him here or move on, why do we have to draw things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is a sign that Davies is on his way to us? Doubtful - Judge and Davies play on oppersite wings. Deal could probarly be made as I know we have a number of midfielders on trial atm. Just if Derby has the money to meet his valuation. I think he'll most likely stay at Notts although if you were to re-try at the end of the season if Notts are no where near the play-off area I think he'll go then in order to cash him in.
