RUMOUR - Craig Davies

[JoeyJoeJoeJnrShabadoo]

My first reaction was that we were looking at signing Craig David

glad I wasn't the only one

Lester got 17 goals and Davies scored 25

Or am i missing something?

At Lester's age each goal counts double

A worse possibility than Le Fondre, and everyone knows how I doubt Le Fondre could even manage 10 goals in a Championship season.

[Royal_Delight]

On a free, why not? Seems like he's capable of placing his shots, unlike some of our players who blast the ball sky high.

Look at his poor record at several poor clubs before this season. He played in a good team and scored a few more than Jack bloody Lester

If we did sign him, that would be our replacement for Long. Would not be good news.

[TBM]

He's big, he's black........thats a start. Imagine him and Beast up top - could scare a few defences

Someone who can play 45 minutes before calling for an oxygen mask and a League Two flat track bully, hmmmm....

Tell you what, that boy can finish!

There's a lot of clips on that video. Everthing from pace, composure, his finishing. If we could get someone like that this summer I'd be over the moon!

Promising clip. Seemed to feed on a lot of poor defending and some less than brilliant keeping. But you're right in that there is some pretty cool finishing there. He's big, strong and reasonably quick. Looked like he scored two cracking long range efforts of very similar style. I wrote the first one off as a bit of a one off, but maybe not if it was two different games.

As many have said, be a big step up and we've already got Church, Manset and Williams looking to step up.

[Big Foot]

on getreading they call him a "25 year old journeyman" which kind of tells the bigger picture IMO
