    Who were people expecting? Kroos? De Jong? Kimmich?

    No way. Davies is better than Reed.

    Davies is a decent loan signing. Happy with that. Will work his socks off.

    I`ve never rated Davies as anything other than mediocre. He doesn`t have the physicality I think we need right now. He is certainly no better than Reed.

    We were underwhelmed with Bertie and KWP if I remember.

    Let's cut him some slack, I think Ralph knows what he is doing. He'll probably play him left back first though and then maybe right back to ease him in :)

    You’re assuming that was an option. We can only keep players who want to play here. I’ll happily wait and see on Davies. Given all the COVID news, I’d be pleasantly surprised with any addition the club feel appropriate - and quite frankly why would anyone want to move in the current crisis?

    19 England U21 caps, captained Everton at age 20, played most of last season but has been pushed down the pecking order by some quality signings. He may not have a fancy foreign name but I'm gonna give the lad a chance.

    Don't think it would be a bad signing, but he's not really the defensive, strong type of centre mid that we're in need of? JWP and Davies as CMs would be very lightweight.

    He's a bit bigger than JWP.

    FWIW in the same interview where Crook mentioned Tom Davies he also said we have no interest in Florentino Luis or Jovane Cabral
