crazylegs1984 Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 Curtis Davies admits his career ground to a halt at Aston Villa during Martin O'Neill's reign.The defender moved to Villa Park in 2007, making the short journey across the West Midlands from West Brom. He initially settled well and was regularly touted as a potential England international of the future. However, things started to unravel last season, with a shoulder operation not helping his cause, and he soon found himself out of favour. He has gone 14 long months since he last appeared in a Premier League fixture, with former Villa boss O'Neill having overlooked him at every opportunity. Davies has recently linked up with Championship side Leicester on loan in an effort to get regular games and is enjoying his football again. He does, however, admit that he is almost starting from scratch after becoming the forgotten man at Villa Park. from sky sportsif he feels like this maybe there is a possibility in getting him on a perm contract
phillthefox Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 oh lets hope so , as he looked quality on saturday, and if we can get him on the cheap would be excellent signing
Zingari Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 Seems to be moaning more about MON than Villa though
The Doctor Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 from sky sports if he feels like this maybe there is a possibility in getting him on a perm contract maybe, but if it was o'neill that froze him out, maybe houllier wants to see how he gets on playing FTF before deciding whether to give him a second chance. On a side note: is he registered in villas 25?
crazylegs1984 Posted 18 October 2010 Author Posted 18 October 2010 I honestly couldn't tell ya I'll do some digging
MrSpaM Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 On a side note: is he registered in villas 25? They only named 22 at the start of the season, and Davies wasnt on the list
crazylegs1984 Posted 18 October 2010 Author Posted 18 October 2010 They only named 22 at the start of the season, and Davies wasnt on the list Cheers was just about to post could mean we might get him till end of season
Master Fox Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 He's just the player we need. I'd like to see Top get some of his wonga out and get him in on a permanent contract. Wave a couple of £Million under the nose of the Villa chairman and I'd think we'd bag him.
The Doctor Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 They only named 22 at the start of the season, and Davies wasnt on the list well he can't do anything there till january then, Good chance of keeping him longer than a month if he enjoys himself over the next month.
Houdini Logic Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 He's just the player we need. I'd like to see Top get some of his wonga out and get him in on a permanent contract. Wave a couple of £Million under the nose of the Villa chairman and I'd think we'd bag him. He'd pay for himself - I'd be suprised if we don't start filling the ground every week with a defence as sexy as ours. Five way? Yes please...
Guest Bilo Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 Once that back four gels, it'll be nigh on impenetrable. Davies was immense on Saturday and I expect a lot of him.
conradno1 Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 just been on the villa forum to see what they said about davies and they seem to think we will have him until jan and then a prem team will come in for him. the reason he is not got games for them aswell is because if he plays another leage game a clause in his contract kicks in that they have to either up his wages or offer him a new contract. they also said even when all there cb were out injured he still didnt get in because of the contract situation they played people out of position over him. i think fair play to the lad for hateing villa and MON he just wants football

kam6 Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 Sounds very positive. I think that Villa signed him from bagies for about £10mil, not too sure and i cant be arsed to check as i have "party poker" on another tab. if we get hime for £3mil i would be happy. Smashed in this league before and when fit, played well for villa. I didnt get to go to Saturdays game (stupid undian weddings all the time!!!) but heard good reviews. if we are doing well by January, then maybe he will be willing to make the switch. who knows, not me
Ozwin Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 He's too good for this division. Absolute beast on Saturday.
conradno1 Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 Sounds very positive. I think that Villa signed him from bagies for about £10mil, 8.5
kam6 Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 sorry conrano1, dint know exact figures, but still quite high!! still young for a defender and will be great for the club, just hope that w can keep him as long as possible.
conradno1 Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 sorry conrano1, dint know exact figures, but still quite high!! still young for a defender and will be great for the club, just hope that w can keep him as long as possible. i was just saying it was 8.5 i wernt bitching
Guest Mee-9 Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 He's too good for this division. Absolute beast on Saturday. More the reason to sign him permanently!
kam6 Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 i was just saying it was 8.5 i wernt bitching i know dude, i wasnt going on the defensive, you see what i did there?? im just looking forward to things to come for our football club just hope that with these new thai massage parlours, i mean, investors that we can be a sucessful club again. lets just say, were not as shit as liverpool at the moment!!!
Wymsey Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 i know dude, i wasnt going on the defensive, you see what i did there?? im just looking forward to things to come for our football club just hope that with these new thai massage parlours, i mean, investors that we can be a sucessful club again. lets just say, were not as shit as liverpool at the moment!!! I saw a few in a shop on Narborough Road. It was shut though
Alexikokopops Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 Sounds very positive. I think that Villa signed him from bagies for about £10mil 8.5 It was undisclosed, but said to be between 8 and 10 million.
Basingstoke Fox Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 I'd be surprised if we get him rather than a Prem club in January. In fact, I'd be shocked!!
