Blue_Guru Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Bolton have met Craig Davies buy out clause of £300k... Always rated him even if he was a bit mental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) We have a knack for releasing players who go on to command decent fees later on Davies, O'Grady, Tierney, Jermaine Johnson, there's probably more. Okay so we got a scrap heap fee for Davies and O'Grady but we still let them go on the cheap without realising their potentia,l where we didn't have to.

LeylandLatic Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Bolton have met Craig Davies buy out clause of £300k... Always rated him even if he was a bit mental Shows what a terrible state football in our country is in when a player who is basically just quick and strong with the IQ of a dog is worth 300k. If more emphasis was put on scouting and coaching players with natural ability rather than natural physique the game would be far better off.

Most other clubs probably do as well, this isn't just a Latics phenomena. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayItLivo Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I don't remember anybody saying we should keep him at the time. People were too busy licking their balls at the signing of Dean Windass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayItLivo Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Remind me, how much did we get for Davies and O'Grady? Nowhere near 300k between them. Edited January 7, 2013 by PlayItLivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The fee for Davies to Brighton was undisclosed but believed to be £150,000. So it's not like we've lost out massively in the three years since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 O'Grady went for about what we paid for him around £85k we laid a fee for Davies from Verona too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Heck C-Beck Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Shows what a terrible state football in our country is in when a player who is basically just quick and strong with the IQ of a dog is worth 300k. If more emphasis was put on scouting and coaching players with natural ability rather than natural physique the game would be far better off. I would say Davies showed much more ability than most of our players this season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If more emphasis was put on scouting and coaching players with natural ability rather than natural physique the game would be far better off. Considering he's scored around 80 goals and yet to hit his peak, he must have some natural ability? You can have all the pace and strength you want, but you still need to be able to put the ball in the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 That was some header for Bolton today. Shouldered in with great aplomb. I really didn't think he'd cut it a league above. I hate being wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
