S-Clarke Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 No thanks. He'll prob hurt himself in the warmup. He's made of glass which has ruined a really promising career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 Injuries have taken their toll and Davies is a completely different player to the one we saw at St. Mary's. Shame, as he was first-class for us. Time to move on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Davies, i.e. club captain between 2007 and 2008, also player of the year...sold because of financial situation, since then has rotted on Stokes bench. both injury and subs bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whizzpop Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 He only played about 25 games for us partnering Bennett? and Dailly at times. A Burley signing from Middlesbrough. But he stood out in an otherwise poor team that year (including Safri, Viafara, Skacel, Vignal, and Stern John)...surely im not the only one who remembers this once promising player!?

Was an excellent player for us, strong, committed, hard working. IIRC we had him on loan, and had a bit of a battle to sign him permanently? Sold by Lowe to balance the books (ha!)

But he stood out in an otherwise poor team that year (including Safri, Viafara, Skacel, Vignal, and Stern John)...surely im not the only one who remembers this once promising player!? Saw him play a number of times for us and he was by far the best player on the pitch on each occasion. A real shame to see him go and even greater shame things haven't worked out for him. Is it known fact that he is struggling with injuries still or just supposition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whizzpop Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 And sold quite rightly. We can't look down at Pompey and suggest we should have kept all the high earners and rejected transfer fees when we were in big debt. It was a shame but we were right to at least try and get by with cheap players. at this time we also had Idiakez, Jermaine Wright, Darren Powell, Stern John, Jason Euell, Safri, Makin, Ostlund, Viafara, Saganowski, Wayne Thomas, Licka, Vignal, Bennett, Wright-Phillips, Dyer and Hammill...most of these names now make me shudder, apart from one or two most of these players were on their way down in football and so were we.

SNSUN Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 Connolly seems to have battled back well from crippling injuries but I guess no two players are the same. We're past signing crocks anyway, I seem to remember we had a period where that's all we seemed to bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 He won every header he ever went up for. Class act for us. Not enough regular football over the last 3 seasons or so though. Shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a shame but we were right to at least try and get by with cheap players. Indeed. £1m in cash plus the removal of £500k from the annual wage bill was a no-brainer at the time, especially for someone who had already picked up a knee injury that would keep him out for the first 3 months of his spell at Stoke.

Lighthouse Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 Connolly seems to have battled back well from crippling injuries but I guess no two players are the same. We're past signing crocks anyway, I seem to remember we had a period where that's all we seemed to bring in. Based on what? 5 or 6 games at the end of last season and a couple of pre-season friendlies. I can't think of any player who has had regular injury problems and then suddenly got fit and started playing 30 games a season. As such I'd avoid Davies, he just can't be relied upon to stay fit. Good player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disconnect Posted 27 July, 2011 Share Posted 27 July, 2011 Palace supporting mate said both Davies and the other trialist who replaced him both looked really good. I told him he'd likely be great for a few games but not to rely on him to stay fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
