I had been pronouncing it Dave-EEs. Was confused by the Toronto friendly with them calling him davis
That's how I'd pronounce it as an Englishman
As a Welsh homosapien I would pronounce it Davis
Valleys pronounciation is 'Dave_iss'.

How do we know what you say is true?
as much as I like rose this season, he only seems to ever look good in a winning team. Not surprising really considering his more attacking than defensive..still think davies needs to be started, its not like his raw, having already played in 2 PL seasons.
if we don't, I think its abit of a joke that we signed davies and an unregistered vorm for siggi..considering how Siggi's played and the fact that our two haven't even got off the bench..
also considering eriksens been playing like his mind is else where
Because I live in Wales and im no lier, I live in Newport were Obama visited lastweek
The more I see this lad, the more I don't think he is good enough. He just doesn't seem to have much about him. He is the definition of average. Average at the back. Average going forward. Average crossing. Average pace. Nothing about him excites me. He is not capable of beating his man often enough, and he lacks the pace to get back when we get countered.
I really can't see how he has improved the squad, and he certainly hasn't looked better than Rose this season.

Dunno. I'd take average defenders over our lot sometimes. Average defenders should be able to keep out Stoke, Hull, Newcastle...
I think he's fine as a back up, if it means more Vertonghen at CB.

His future imo is at CB
Davies is far less dynamic than Rose but I know who I trust more when it comes to defending. He seems far more reserved in his wingplay, which isn't something I deem to be a bad quality, I'm sure he has the engine to keep running past the midfield and take position like Rose does further up the pitch. I think this is a reflection of playing with Swansea, where their buildup play was more patient and so he had time to slowly work his way up the field, rather than with Tottenham sometimes we want to see our fullbacks bomb it fast as they can up the field.
Not sure if I like him or like him more than Rose. I see him as a Corluka kind of player. Not a Walker type of player. Rose gives me worries all the time.
