Liverpool, Arsenal tracking West Brom defender Davies
tribalfootball.com - February 9, 2006

West Brom boss Bryan Robson is desperate to hang onto defender Curtis Davies.

Robbo took a £3million gamble signing Davies, 20, from Luton last August.

Bolton, Sp**s, Birmingham and Aston Villa were all interested but unwilling to pay that much.

Now Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle have been checking on the central defender.

Robson said: "I know a lot of people looked at him when we brought him in and I expect the top clubs to look at him if he continues playing how he is.

"Curtis Davies is proving he will be a great Premiership player for years to come.

"At 20, he can only get better but we want him to stay here."



Anyone knows anything about his guy?
Is he highly rated and how much he is valued at?

brom brought him for 3 million quid,i don't see many WBA games but i don't think he's better than what we already have i.e. senderos etc.

at the age of 20 according to the official baggies supporters website he's been voted their MOM 13 games running

Based on this season, there's no debate who's been more impressive between him and Senderos tbh, and it aint Phil.

He's a talent, wouldn't be adverse to a move for him, but looking at the source there's likely nothing to little in this right now.

It's tribalfootball so it must be right

Article in TheSun today said Wenger splashed out 3 mil to sign him but West Brom refused

 

[Asterix]

Could be a great buy, and typical of Wenger to go for the less heralded young player. I still think on the evidence of this season that we need a more experienced Cb to partner Kolo next season, and it won't be Sol.

One of my mates is an Albion season ticket holder, and rates him very highly.

From what i've seen, he looks a decent prospect.

Tribalfootball though? Seriously...

What! didnt they concede 6 against fulham!

 

[phonics]

that was posted before the fulham game. And if you look at the statistics they didn't get thrased actually. 50/50 possesion, west from 16 shots, fulham 8,

its just after 2-0 their heads went down and then every single shot that fulham took went in.

Arsène Wenger will launch a fresh £5m bid for West Brom's Curtis Davies in the summer. (People)

Good news in my eyes, tabloid speculation isnt always correct when it comes to buying, but generally get interest right.
So showing interest in a defender is a good thing. Was hoping for someone who would challenge for a place in the first team right away, but Davies does look a good player.

 

[Captain]

We wanted him before Albion but our bid was turned down, so there may be some truth in this rumour.

 

[longrufus]

Really, how much did we offer then?

 

[Captain]

I believe that it was in the region of £1.5M.

Looks like we'll have to pay £5M now, but I suppose these things happen.
