Wasn't anything special at the time, isn't anything special in the Premier League and would be another Barton/Alves/Senderos/Kranjcar type

Time to move on, no thanks 

 he’d be the best midfielder in the league if he came back.

Would rather develop Docherty than pretend our captain Davis didn't really walk away from us when we needed loyalty

[delparlane 5,674]

Got a helluva nice Remembrance Day top with his name on it rotting in the closet here, so if he returned at least I could get some more mileage out of it. Quality player but got on ma tits no end with how he left; if he returned he'd have to lead us to the title and pull a dozen rabbits oot his arse to earn forgiveness.

[Jack The Flipper 5,936]

Unpopular opinion, which for me is weird, but I'd take on anyone which would improve the team as long as it was financially correct and added value to the squad.

I don't think we're in any kind of position to be bitter about certain players.

[TheMotor 2,208]

I think an awful lot of people have very selective memories. Even forgetting the fact that he was a deserter (no, he did nothing to get us a fee, that was all down to Southampton) he was routinely slaughtered for going missing in big games, even at his peak.

I really don't get this obsession with ex-players. Move on. Get over it.

People that say he was shite...

He's the Captain of Southampton.

Who's to say they can't work together.

Remember people said the same about Joey Barton.

Davis is massively overrated on here. Certainly not a top player and not better than McArthur nevermind miles. Naismith performed at a higher level in the EPL and people slated his ability on here a lot lately yet Davis has been some great Premiership player?

Joey Barton fell out with the manager after a handful of games and was paid off.  His failure to make it at Rangers had nothing to do with his ability.  After he left us he was picked up by an English Premier League team FFS.

Kranjcar would be a much better example of someone with a big reputation who should've done much better here.  Maybe even Alves too.

The whole point of having principles is sticking to them even when it's inconvenient or impractical. Those players deserted our club when we needed them most. Sure, it's harder to reject Davis because - unlike Naismith and Lafferty - he's still a good player, but we should still firmly tell him to get fucked. 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

A big 'No' from me. An end to signing players in the twilight of their careers.

We need tomorrows stars not yesterdays.

[35 Yard Dangerman 3,477]

I cannot wait for these tedious links to ex players to stop for good. Its an absolute ball ache every single time. I dont want him back. The minute the likes of a Sunderland or some other pish team offer him a far healthier wage than what we could he would be there in a heartbeat anyway. No thanks.

[Bellshill_Bear 1,105]

Yes for me. We not talent today, not tomorrow

[IanFerguson2013 396]

No thanks, I thought he was True Blue but he went off chasing a buck just like the others.

No point trying to imagine how our journey would have been different if a few good players had stayed. He has made plenty of money down south. If he wants back to Scotland then he can do it without the blue pound.

this = barton was shafted cause he had passion & was at odds with the manager, cause he spoke his mind, as he was filthy  with how the gers played that game. wish hed stayed & the manager was shot off then

After the 5-1 game there was obviously an exchange and Warburton booted him out the club because of it.  Barton said on Twitter that Warburton refused to change his philosophy and threw him under the bus.  As we know now, Warburton is a stubborn prick who wont deviate from the 4-3-3 system no matter what.

Can't help but laugh when people say that Davis "insisted" that Southampton pay us a fee or he wouldn't have signed for them 

If he was so desperate for us to get a fee he would've done the decent thing and tupe'd over. He didn't give a fuck whether we got paid or not. Southampton gave us a fee to speed the signing process up. 

Did Rangers even get the money? Did the SPL not hold it back or something?

Was either the SPL or SFA that stole it from us. Was the same with our prize money for the 11/12 season.

He turned up unfit and thought he'd stroll it.

Made a complete tit of himself with his bold predictions, he thought way to much of his own ability and is a prime example of how over rated that shit pit of an English league is.

[KingKennyMiller 270]

Amazing player and exactly the standard required if we're serious about toppling celtic anytime soon.

We're arguably 3 players short of giving them a right good run for the title. A Davis, a Jelavic and an Aluko types and 55 could be ours.

Davis would be a terrific signing!

They held it back but we did get it eventually.

He was working as a pundit all summer and therefore couldn't participate in preseason.  We knew this when we signed him.  Even when Warburton was trying to force him out he was going over to Dubai participating in training camps there.  It didn't matter because Warburton has spat the dummy out and decided he was to leave so his level of fitness was irrelevant.
