Father Ted Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 A big thank you to Mark Davies for his contribution, and I wish him the best at Bolton. Hopefully the club made a good impression on him in case he becomes available in the future

Dames Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 Watch Bolton sign Veloso and Davies wont see first team football for a good while.
foxaholic Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 When you put it like that, then it is pretty obvious.But Bolton bench or the driving force of a promotion bid? He could become a better player if he came to us. Saying that, I fully expect him to go to Bolton, unfortunately. He has gone to Bolton and it is an evens bet he will be playing in the same league as us next year and withiut the guaranteed place we would have provided
coale39 Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 He has gone to Bolton and it is an evens bet he will be playing in the same league as us next year and withiut the guaranteed place we would have provided But i bet hes getting a shed load more cash. And training with better players then ours.
C-man Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 Predictable response to JoeyB's comment: 'Surely Mandaric could have afforded £500k, what is he playing at?!'
He's not bald Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 Predictable response to JoeyB's comment:'Surely Mandaric could have afforded £500k, what is he playing at?!' Thinking about Pearson's reaction I doubt Davies wanted to come here regardless of Mandy getting out his cheque book,good luck to the lad but I think he may live to regret his decision,even though Bolton are Prem now both Wolves and Leicester are potentially better clubs to be involved with IMO.
davieG Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 From the Merc. Leicester City tried their best to secure midfielder Mark Davies as a full signing late last week but their bid could not compete with Premier League side Bolton. I understand that City, showing their ambition despite the recently-announced £14 million record loss, made a substantial six-figure offer for Davies well in excess of the speculated £300,000. The 20-year-old midfielder had become a fans' favourite at the Walkers Stadium while on loan from Wolves. But yesterday he signed for Bolton for an undisclosed fee on a four-and-a-half-year deal.

Thats the most rediculous comment ive seen for a long time. Wake up to real life please

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 It's official.Why do I remember Darren Kenton? Did he make a storming run and assist it or something? He gave the ball away, it lead to a Wolves goal. He was absolutely woeful in that game.

MC Prussian Posted 28 January 2009 Posted 28 January 2009 On the bench for Bolton today. Replaces Makukula in the 74th minute - and gets a yellow only three minutes later.
dandannieldanok Posted 28 January 2009 Posted 28 January 2009 Predictable response to JoeyB's comment:'Surely Mandaric could have afforded £500k, what is he playing at?!' Well I don't know about anyone elses response but I share that view, especially after last night. Cleverley and King are nowhere near the quality of Davies. £500,000 is a fair chunk for a league one club to pay on one player, but if Mandaric has ambitions of the premier league then these are the type of deals we could do with wrapping up.

Your telling me that if you got the option of: 20k* a week + prem football or 7k* a week + league 1 football you would choose league 1 football? You wouldn't so how would you expect Milan to wrap those types of deals up? * not actual figues just rough guesses
dandannieldanok Posted 28 January 2009 Posted 28 January 2009 Are you kidding me? Not at all, Davies is a ball carrier, he makes things happen, he's positive and not afraid to run at defenders. King and Cleverley receive the ball and are always instantly looking to get rid of it. £500,000 in the inflated climate of the modern transfer market is not a steep price in my eyes.

Tevez Posted 28 January 2009 Posted 28 January 2009 I'll choke my weetos if Mark Davies gets more than 10k a week.

Oh my, nobody denies that. But he's not going to choose us over them!
dandannieldanok Posted 28 January 2009 Posted 28 January 2009 Oh my, nobody denies that. But he's not going to choose us over them! I agree with you that he'd chose them every time, but at £500,000 I just think Mandaric could have stuck an extra £50,000 or so onto that to outbid Bolton so Davies had no choice.

You think Bolton wouldn't have put the extra 50k on? Its not as simple as that really.

Well he would still have a choice. He could reject us, knowing then they would have to accept the Wolves bid. And what difference is 50k going to make

And 50k doesn't really mean anything as a figure, I'm just saying that if you outbid someone then the selling club are going to accept the highest bidder.
