A bournemouth fan just posted on the DCFC mad forum that rumour has it they're putting in a 500k bid for Ben Davies.
Thoughts?

Start of January yeah maybe, not with just over 24hrs of the transfer window remaining unless we have a replacement already lined up and a fee agreed.

still gone for me at that price - we're doing ok without him and it's not like we haven't got a few options in midfield.

obviously we'd be light in terms of RM but i am still to be convinced he is a consistent enough performer at this level.

have to say this rumour does wiff a bit...

Bournemouth have some foreign investment apparently. Why they've chosen Bournemouth I don't know?

500k plus Ben's wages could mean that we could offer Greeny a better contract.

Yet another Russian. Good for them to splash the cash but it's the contracts these guys leave behind if they fail that kills the club. Having said that doesn't league 1 already have some kind of wage cap?

A Russian as opposed to Americans, just because we have a policy that means we can't compete against some of the teams in this league doesn't mean that all others have to follow suit.........yet, abolish transfers and bring in a draft system could be next on the leagues agenda :-)

As for Davies, take the money, had his chance and IMO not good enough for this level.

His contract is up next summer, and he is 30 now. Considering we only paid £350k for him it would be a good deal, similar to Moxey last year

We need to keep Tyson, who else will keep the medical staff in a job?

As for Bavies snap there hands off for £500k he's mediocre at best.

Doncaster at home - 3-0 win, he scored and set the other two up.
