Premier League - Bolton won't listen to Davies bids

Eurosport - Sun, 21 Jun 11:23:00 2009

Bolton have no intention of cashing in on captain Kevin Davies and will robustly reject any bids for the striker.

FOOTBALL 2008-09 Premier League Bolton captain Kevin Davies - 0

Last season the 32-year-old enjoyed his best Premier League campaign, scoring 12 goals, and former Wanderers manager Sam Allardyce is reported to be ready to make a £5 million bid to take him back to Blackburn.

Allardyce originally brought Davies to the Reebok from Southampton in 2003 and was credited with resurrecting his stuttering career.

He sees the former Chesterfield forward as an ideal replacement for Roque Santa Cruz, who is on the verge of a big-money move to Manchester City.

Davies, who endured a frustrating time at Ewood Park in the late 1990s after a £7.5m move from the Saints, only signed a new contract last year and £5m would represent good money for a player approaching the end of his career.

However, Wanderers have no intention of allowing their influential captain to depart. No bids have yet been made for the player and Bolton intend to reject any approach as they value Davies too highly.

  1. KEV DAVIS pls dont go. thank God, the relegation battle­ is come and gone, what we should be looking at now is­ for another successful season. how can we achieve this­ aim of going back to our previous position? we need to­ sign more players, let there be competition in our­ team. Elmander is a good player no doubt but let me­ quickly add that he's not the right man for a club­ like BOLTON. we should go for very SHARP and skillful­ attackers like OBAFEMI MARTINS, IKECHUKU UCHE since we­ dont have money to compete with clubs like Man City in­ the transfer market.

  4. Benzema should made up his mind to join united, which i­ think would be the best move for him. And United should­ rap up the signing of Valencia from Wigan on time to­ prevent others comptitious clubs from coming in.
