Question Would you sign Kevin Davies?

[lawrenceaustin]

Brown probably mentioned this in passing, he was probably asked "what do you reckon to Davies being released?" he gave his answer and as we're a bit light on sport content in the echo Chris has probably been asked to give them something they can get people interested in...sell a few more newspapers!!

Davies 100% won't be coming to Southend - I am willing to bet my favourite pair of Nike 'Goater' football boots on it

Pun intended?

I'd love to pretend I was that quick witted, but no.

This. Look at Chris Phillips reply to this tweet too:

Seems to be a complete non-story designed to sell a couple of papers.

We seem to give PB ideas then. Who else can we talk about on here that PB can then tell the press he is interested in?

You have more than one pair ?

How many coaches do we need? I suppose he could be a coach for the strikers. We'll have more coaches than Cooks at this rate.

Good job we don't eat much then :winking:

 

[lawrenceaustin]

absolutely, I bought a pair for every goal goater bagged during his days in a SUFC shirt!

 

[5scoops]

A big no .we need pace really do to get in behind if not we will be sitting to deep .no goals boring footy .no thanks

ok we had 3 coaches and everyone moaned that none of them were forward coaches- in theory we have room for a coach
he is potentially available
he potentially could be striker 3/4 and do both jobs
if he wants to get into coaching then he may well be interested & be sensible on wages
if he does not want to get into coaching can't see it happening

is it worth a conversation- yes
chances of it happening- 20%
has he got another year left in him- looking at him playing for Preston in the playoffs- yes probably (legs looked ok). However, either from bench or first 55 mins you would think

I can quite happily believe he will be able to pass on good knowledge to our front men (always struck me a very articulate)

 

[jimmyshrimp]

If he was to become coach, it would be very beneficial to our ONE striker! Wouldn't have to spread himself to thin!

 

[Supa Shrimpa]

If the wages were at our level (ie not a lot) and he's happy to play in League One, I reckon he'd be a huge asset to the squad...particularly the younger players. Also, if he wants to get into the coaching side then we could be a good starting point
