POTY so far for me. He has been excellent.
I think Alfie and Ryan Jack might have something to say about that.
Quite possibly, but I love there is now a genuine debate as to who our best player is rather than who is the least shit!I think Alfie and Ryan Jack might have something to say about that.
I’d go as far as to say if Davis had played the last two games, we’d have won both.
I think he’s that important to us, even at 34 years of age.
Handing two year + deals to over 32 year old outfield players is risky business. What if they get a long term injury and we are sitting there with a player who almost certainly won’t return the same player and big wages?Don't get the one year deal, he's been on fantastic form this season and still has the fitness, why not a two year deal ? Davis has another good 3 or 4 years left in him.
Any player regardless of age can get a bad injury, older players tend to look after themselves better nowadays, yes you can look at Mols and Negri who were on fire before injury and both were never the same players afterwards and both of them were younger than Davis.Handing two year + deals to over 32 year old outfield players is risky business.

Defoe is on an 18 month loan contract so he is in a different situation. It will probably be the summer before he gets a new contract. Unless he signs a pre-contract but I don't really see the value in that. Unless of course we buy his contract with Bournemouth out or they release him. Buying out his contract would be a waste of money as we have him to the summer anyway.Excellent news just Defoe to go in January get some 6 or 7 players who aren't getting into the squad out the door and bring in 2-3 players of real quality in January and allow some of our young players into matchday squads
