I was just reading the Steven Davis article on the echo website

It does seem Davis has enjoyed a new lease of life under Mauricio Pochettino and his style of play. I was just wondering though does anyone know what we eventually paid Rangers?

 

I know we agreed to pay some money to Rangers but didn't the League stop us but grant us permission to play him until the Rangers situation was resolved? Apologies if this has been covered and its been sorted now, but could someone shed some light on what the resolution actually was?

They stopped us due to the wrangle between who officially held his contract, whether it was bought with the new purchase of RFC or not included, we agreed payment to ensure we could play him basically and I think it was around the 800k mark

He's playing in his strongest position now which helps. Adkins did utilise Davis there towards the end of his reign, but for much of the first half of the season he was wasted at CDM. Definitely a square peg in a round hole there. So yes, he does seem to suit our current playing style but I don't think that's the only reason he's proving the doubters wrong.

It looks as if the answer to your question is no.

He was playing out of position under Adkins and isn't a defensive midfielder. Same for JWP.

 

So we had Davis & JWP as AM's

 

And the transfer committee bought in Gaston.

 

Although the turn round in Davis form (and to an extent Jos) IF whatever was done to cause it was applied to Gaston & Mayuka (even Tadanari Lee) life in the PL could be very interesting

and the Rangers Forum on the return of SD....

He needs to be careful. Those comments will not endear, and I don't think he has the natural home in Glasgow that he thinks he has.

 

Some pretty nasty stuff on that Rangers forum, but the idea that being paid of lot of money to play your football in the Premier League is some jock's idea of 'rotting' away your career is somewhat amusing.
