Simon Davies

[Markffc123]

where is Digger Davies?
we could have used him yesterday- i know people have mentioned jol got it wrong and should have played frei or emmanuelson but its interesting to see if SD would have started if he was in the frame to play...i know he was training again but where is he?...could he still do a job for us?

Unfortunately it looks as if we've seen the last of poor old Simon..
I love his passion when he plays and he never fails to give 100%, would be a shame for him not to feature even a little in these last few games but I think it's fairly clear to see that Jol doesn't feel the need to include him in his plans.
I believe he is fit from what I've heard and I'm sure at the very least that he wouldn't have performed worse than Manolev yesterday (not that Manolev was particularly 'bad')

[Enter the Frei]

would love to see him given one last run out before the end of the season, but thats only for sentimental reasons to be honest.

I agree about the late season runout. I'm a huge fan of Super Taffy, and this is something that I share with every American Fulham supporter I've ever met or chatted with. We all admire his combination of ability, class, and drive.

[Me-ate-Live, innit??]

Never liked him  :022:

I am sure that Jol said that he was looking forward to Davies getting back in the squad, or did i just imagine that?

[MJG]

Well he's old enough to get a game so who knows he might even get a new contract.

I recall something similar but I am not sure Jol meant it as anything but a kind gesture.

Didn't he just sign an extension in Jan/Feb????

[Bassey the warrior]

Unfortunately I think he's dug a hole too deep (long injury) and we aren't willing to lend him a ladder. Bye bye Simon, thanks for everything. Many many memories. A loyal and underrated player.

Will never forget Simon.

Those goals will live long in the memory but sadly I fear his time has passed. Probably our most consistent player in the Great Escape Season but injury and age have probably caught up with him. Will always be remembered as one of the Europa league team though!

I don't believe that he was offered an extension and I suspect this will be his last season for the Whites.

[Forever Fulham]

Like and respect him.  I don't know about the rest of you, but I think the team is safe from relegation.  We aren't going to get that much more in TV revenue share being in 8th or 15th, so Mr. Jol, let's rearrange the deck chairs for the final 3 or 4 games.  Play the youth, the forgotten, and the formerly injured.  Let's see what's what. 

[Tonywa]

Sad though the prospect is, I very much doubt that we shall see Digger in the first team again.  ZSorry to see his Fulham career just fade away like this.  Undoubtedly one of our very best buys of recent years - truly excellent player.

 Probably his last year with us-I suspect Baird and Hughes will move on as well.
Should they be given sentimental run outs in the next few games? Probably not, there's big placement money involved between finishing (say) 10th and (say) 17th (£4m plus with these positions)-and a losing cameo appearance is not a good memory.

Such a shame love Simon Davies and the goals leading up to and the Europa League Final  :dft004:

and as post above what's happened to Bairdinho?

Baird and Hughes have been regularly on the team sheet at times this season. We haven't had a chance to give Davies the respect and recognition he deserves. He should start our last home match.
