ian1964 10,418 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Smith Keen To Keep Davis WALTER SMITH has admitted that he would very keen to sing Steven Davis on a permanent deal. The Nothern Ireland international has been a key player in the second half of the season with terrific performances in midfield since joining on loan from Fuilham. Given that the Craven Cottage side is threatened with relegation, Davis may see his long-term future elsewhere. Smith hopes that place is Ibrox. Smith said: "I haven't really spoken with Steven but I need to. His situation is different from Christian Dailly's because he was released by West Ham and free to sign for us whereas Steve is on loan. He will revert back to his club at the end of the season. "There is an option to make the deal permanent but that doesn't count for much. A lot of other clubs will be interested in him. "We would like to keep him but that might be a little more awkward than it looks." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wija 0 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Would love him to stay, but there will be stupid money on offer from Newcastle (defo) and other clubs! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd ;love to see him signed up permanently 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I think he would actually prefer to sign for us ahead of Newcastle etc, so they could help us. I thought Dailly was on loan aswell, never knew he was released from West Ham. Hopefully we get him to sign on next season aswell. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the problem could be - if Premiership clubs are gonna offer big money that could be it! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has came up here, had a magnifacent run in europe and a likely treble. Your not going to get that a those other clubs Davis must stay 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
