Red Cloud Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 sorry -///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Davies rejects new deal to play in higher divisionMay 10 2006By Neil Turner, Daily PostCHESTER midfielder Ben Davies is poised to reject a deal from the Deva Stadium club to sign up for a further two years, and accept an offer from a League One outfit instead.Davies joined City four years ago from Kidderminster and was a member of the Chester side which won the Nationwide Conference championship two seasons ago.The 24-year-old, who made 45 League Two appearances for City this season, is out of contract next month and while Chester offered improved terms, it appears that he sees his future elsewhere.City chairman Stephen Vaughan said last night "We have had discussions with Ben but it appears probable that he will move on to a club in League One."Apparently the player has had offers from Yeovil, Northampton and Bristol City."We would love to see Ben sign on for another two years with us, but in this age of freedom of contract, it looks like he will move on."Vaughan revealed that the club were talking to other players and were having discussions with a prospective player-coach."We have had talks with four potential new players in the past two days, and we are also having a meeting with an experienced player who has passed his coaching examinations to discuss a player-coach role."The City chairman also revealed that Chester were considering playing some home matches on a Friday evening next season."We played Rochdale last October and attracted an excellent crowd, so if there are international games on a Saturday, we would arrange our matches for the previous night."We are not ditching Saturday, that is still the main day for football, but we have to look at the economic benefits of Friday evenings."The 2006/07 fixtures will be released on Thursday, June 22 and the new Football League season will kick off on Saturday, August 5, two weeks before the Premiership for the first time.

cidercity1987 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Cheers. Sounds like a good prospect, but not sure if he's what we need. Not sure we need any more centre midfielders (if that is indeed his position). He'd surely choose us out of those mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Found this on their website. Ben Davies is starting his fourth season with the club and is an all action player with a never say die attitude that endears him to the City faithful. Ben began his career as a trainee with Walsall and then made 12 appearances for Kidderminster Harriers prior to his move to City. A former captain with Wales at semi pro level, Ben has threatened to become a regular goalscorer from midfield and can certainly claim some spectacular strikes to his name. When I saw this description and say that he was 5.7 I thought he sounded like a Scott Brown type of player. Then I saw that he 12st 2lb! which makes him about as round as he is tall I think, unless of course he is Mighty Mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I've seen Chester a few times this year, and he's always stood out as being better than most of whats in that league. Good passer of the ball, reasonably quick, and gets his fair share of goals. Central midfield isn't our biggest concern though, and while I think he'd be a decent signing, I'd prefer that we concentrated on positions that need filling, like stikers.

Skuse is great, Brown is resonable but after that I don't really think we have a lot else and one more would be a bounus if Luke leaves after the world cup.

Nibor Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 He's young, cheap wages, available on a free and scores goals from midfield. Sounds like a worthwhile acquisition - if he turns out to be pants we're not massively out of pocket.How many of the young 7 grads play central midfield though?

TomBCFCUK Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Aaron davies is the lad from yeovil that i would like us to sign this summer! He can play up front or out wide...go on Johnson got get him!Back on the subject ha...umm seems a decent player but weather or not we will need him is the problem. Because we could end up with to many centre midfielders which then will mean players will get annoyed and end up leaving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
