Question Would you sign Kevin Davies?

[Mick]

He is now old and past it, his recent record in league 1 shows that.

His recent record shows that he was good enough to play 43 times for a club which won a place in the Championship last season.

How many games did you see him play last season ? What role was he performing ?

What have you based your critique on? Simply his age and the number of goals scored, I suspect.

I don't know if he's still up to it or not so I would hold off making dogmatic statements one way or the other.

Saw him on and off throughout last season (FL show, Preston live sky matches), from what I saw he was very slow, lethargic and couldn't keep up with the pace of the game. All be it not a huge sample size, but enough to make me not overly impressed. His role was more of a target man, but that's all he was and I think if we're bringing in a striker to play regularly they need to have more strings to their bow than that. Plus I don't think a target man like that suits our style.

So no, I haven't based that critique on simply his age and the number of goals scored.

If he was that slow and lethargic cant understand why the manager played him 43 times or how they got promoted.

If Jonny Stokes is right and Mooney cant win the ball to save his life and relies on a target man then someone to play that role would come in handy since we no longer have Corr...

If feels as if it's all getting a bit previous on here. Lets wait and see what the next few days bring, and if there is any truth in the Davies stuff then have a debate when and if we need to.

I wouldn't be against us signing Davies as part of a set of strikers with differing attributes, he must still have something about him to have played 43 times in a promoted team and i assume Brown knows him from his time at Bolton. I'll be more enthusiastic if it's a player/coach role, it'll be interesting to see what it says in the echo tomorrow.

You mean, don't jump on the slightest bit of information and start making up additional information that may or may not be true!?

Where's the fun in that! :raspberry:

It will end in tears, mark my words. Look what happened on the new kit thread.

I was told by uncle who is an Orient supporter that we have good signing, but he is better off a target man. Dives a bit, but is a good signing!

Anyone pick up the Echo this morning?

Wasn't a lot of those appearances off the bench? Anyway, I won't keep going on but as a player he's not for me, but would like to see him in a coaching role.

Pun intended?

O.K. guys. Basically in the Echo it says Phil Brown would like to talk to Kevin Davies as he thinks he has another year left as a player and something to offer, even if that is in a coaching role, as they worked together at Bolton.
But PB also added that it's one he's not holding out on.
