Not me.

I’ll give him 2 in 1/4 of a century and one of those was forced (Redknapp with Ramos on 2pts from 8 and certs for relegation)

The list of duds just gets longer and longer with the bald cunt in charge. And he’s going nowhere until we get an NFL franchise

He stumbled on BMJ as well when Santini walked after 10 games saying he had been lied to . He did well getting Poch , but we only got him cos Van Gaal backed out and went to United.
He really is the gift that keeps on giving if you are a fan of our rivals
 
I wonder if we lose to Tamworth he will repeat his winning is hard bullshit , it really wouldn’t surprise me . His conceited sense of self belief , without any justification for it knows no bounds imho

He played his 300th pl match yesterday.
I could not believe it when the stat came up.
Something like 22 transferwindows gone and we never upgraded on Ben davies.
He is a likeable person but at which top 10 club does a player like ben davies get 300 games.
For me he is just another symbol for a lack of ambition in the last 10 years

He's been playing because everyone else is injured. He's a squad player now, we've literally upgraded Ben Davies with Udogie.

We also upgraded with Sess and Reguilon, both players plenty were excited about. Hes outlasted both of those.

He's not a bad option to have kicking around for these moments, has barely put a foot wrong.

Yes i know but what about the last 10 years?
300 pl matches I cant get over this stat
If I could go back in time and tell myself back in 2015 hey in 10 years time you will be sad because ben davies got injured playing cb in his 300th pl match...
I am glad He played so good in the last few weeks it just seems to be wrong that it all came to this
Like many others I feel very down on spurs right now and I cannot even go back to this comfort place and blame davies because he played so good:)

Davies has always been underrated. It is a fact that during the 16-17 season when we finished second. Ben made more appearances than Danny Rose at left back. And not because of injuries. He plays left centre back in a 3 for Wales but to put him in a back 4 at centre back is pushing it. He looked to be struggling when he grabbed a Bournemouth player on the halfway line . Possibly was struggling with his hamstring which later went pop and off he went. If he plays as a left back we can get away with it as he could sit back and let Porro go further forward.
But no, Ange cannot adapt his tactics so Ben has to go into midfield and often ends up in the pen area .
Last season I thought this refusal to change would kill Ange. Ange Sinatra…..I’ll do it my way and sod the lot of you.

He deserves our respect; not to be smeared in this way.

Ok I am So grateful that I had the privilege of watching ben davies for 10 years straight.
I was never hoping for anyone better than him.

Seriously I like him but it is just wrong that we are in this situation as a club
Maybe im just bitter because he reminds me of the missed chances in the last 10 years...

Exactly, it’s not Ben Davies fault that all his supposed replacements turned out to be worse than him. Reguilon, Sessegnon, Lenglet, they were all dreadful and he deserved to keep his spot ahead of them all these years.

You should be pissed at those that failed to usurp him despite their significant fees (Sess 28m+ Onomah, Reg 38m, Sanchez 40.... Also Foyth, Rodon, Lenglet); not taking cheap shots at him.

.........As already put to you he played more in the peak Poch team than Rose did and has since evolved into become a very good back-up CB.

You literally just said:

"I feel very down on spurs right now and I cannot even go back to this comfort place and blame davies because he played so good"

Fuck that.... He doesn't deserve to be your scapegoat or punching bag.

You’d think …..turfie would make better use of one of his average 21 posts per year since 2013 ! Than having a go at…..about one of the most reliable players we have no a superstar, no a me,me,me kinda a guy just a steady guy doing his job the best he can.

Just because I post in the davies thread doesnt mean I have a go at him.
But people just read what they want to read and have a dig at each other I guess.
I think I made it more than clear that he reminds me of the failures in player recruitment and missed oppurtunities of the last 10 years.
Its not like levy is on the pitch/ in the dugout every game. He hides in his Box or in the terraces and I See him for a few seconds per season. If he was more present it would be easier to project my anger and frustration at him.
Instead I watched ben davies for 450 hours in the league for 10 years.
I know ben davies is the least of our problems these days but that wasnt always the case and that in itself is a problem. We regressed as a club not because of ben davies but with him and he reminds me of that fact.

No owners sit in the dug out........ They all (at most) sit in a box.... Plenty (eg Glaziers, Kronke) don't even do that.

You're just waffling nothings here.

Ben Davies isn't representative of regression.

.......Take the rest of this to the ENIC thread. Again; it's not Ben's cross to bear.
 
From the press conference pre Southampton re Ben Davies :

There is a chance he’ll be back, hopefully, before the new year. So, that was positive. Again, initially we were a bit worried but you need to give it [edit - the injury] a week to settle down. The latest information I got this morning that it’s [edit - the injury] nowhere near as bad as we thought it was and hopefully a quicker turnaround.
