Been told he is not getting a new contract next season and can go out on loan now ....worth snapping up to help with the run in?

He sounds a bit shellshocked also he has just said on talksport apparently he is not entitled to a testimonial as his contract runs out 5 days short.... a bit naughty by Bolton seeing the time he has been there?

Sign him up.

At least that would mean he wouldn't be able to play against us in a few weeks time!

On a similar note, I'm sure that the only reason Jones signed The Beast was because of the number of goals he'd scored against us. :lol: :lol:

I do not want him to join us as I believe it's a few years too late. We need to sign players that cab do a job in the premiership and I am not sure he can. He is a true professional who has been superb for Bolton over the years, the way they have treated him is disgusting. I hope we do not shaft super Kev like that, I understand the need to move players on but look how the Jacks have kept Monk and Tait. Both of them f*cking wankers mind you.

Always liked him but haven't heard a sound off him in this league?

We got Campbell, Maynard, Mason, Gestede for strikers.

Gestede will prove a impact.

Trotters' captain has served the club for a decade but could be freed by new manager Freedman before the end of the season



Kevin Davies is heading for the exit at Bolton after 10 years at the club – but he will be offered a testimonial.

Bolton boss Dougie Freedman gave his captain the bad news on Tuesday – Davies’ 35th birthday.

The England striker – a target for the Trotters' Championship rivals Sheffield Wednesday and Wolves – may even leave before the end of the season if a deal can be sorted out.

Davies was upset by the news, ending a decade of outstanding displays for the club, and he also feared it meant he would not get the chance of a testimonial game.

He said: “I’ve been told I’m not entitled to a testimonial. It would have been nice to have one as a thank you for what I’ve done.”

But Mirror Sport can reveal that Wanderers are prepared to give Davies a benefit match at the Reebok – despite rules that say he has to have served for longer than a decade at the club.

Bolton staged a match for John McGinlay, although he fell short of 10 years, and a source said: “Kevin just has to ask.”

I like him but I think he can be a hit and miss so No, shame about his Testimonial though he has been a good servant for them :malky:
