SEAN Davis looks set to be sidelined for the rest of the season after undergoing a second knee operation.

The midfielder missed virtually the whole of last term following surgery to repair an articular cartilage injury.

Davis looked to be on course for a successful return after coming through pre-season.

But the 31-year-old suffered a blow in a reserve team game against Manchester City in August after feeling discomfort in his knee.

I think it's time we gave up on him unfortunately. Get him back to fitness and send him on his way

[Lord Kangana]

Should have signed Jimmy Bullard.

Get him back to fitness

Easier typed than done...

[BWFC_Wyles]

well yeah good point, but I just said that because I feel it would be very heartless to send him on his way now....but then again I suppose we don't owe him anything!

It's not that it would be heartless its that we're still contracted to pay him. And that makes the second part of your statement incorrect.

I meant to mutually terminate his contract

I meant to mutually terminate his contract

Not sure he'd be up for that. Which is kinda understandable.

Someone has to keep Joey O'Brien company, now we noe longer have Quinton Fortune.

[boltonboris]

Isn't he jobless at the end of the season anyway?

[Lofthouse Lower]

Pretty sure we (someone) gave him a three year deal at £35,000 per week

Yup

"On 1 July 2009, Bolton confirmed the signing of Davis on a free transfer on a three year deal."

Feel really sorry for the guy. 3 games played and out for 18 months. Can see us getting rid when/if he gets fit again.

He won't be on that!!








Will he?

So, it was 2.5 games rather than 3 due to not completing the LFC game that adds up to approx £2,184,000 per game. Feel sorry for him, no-one's fault etc etc but it makes you think...

It might be time to pull a Shittu...
Was Davis on the 25-man squad at the beginning of the year? Can we take him off for the new one to be submitted at month's end?

[Tombwfc]

There is no way in the world he's on 35,000 a week, before bonuses he'd get for playing and the like. That's football manager talk.

Anyway, it's terrible for the guy.

We have to submit another squad at start of February, it can be totally different to our current one.

Exactly

Though I guess he was on decent money

I wonder if we have some insurances to cover us for the loss of an asset for such a prolonged period

Normal business practice

Assuming his injuries aren't related to owt that showed up on his pre-signing medical

[Prufrock]

He'll be insured, almost certainly. And yeah, free transfer means decent money, but a lot will be bonuses and that. I'd imagine he'd be on 35k a week if he was Captain for every game as we won the league with him scoring 40.

[DJBlu]

I'm sure the club have insurance for such situations as this.
