If Ben Davies hasn’t had a game up to now then surely he’s no chance next season when Liverpool start getting their defenders back.
At 25 he surely must be desperate to play so would a cheeky loan offer make any sense?
Iverson in goals with a back 3 of SVDB, Bauer and Davies would be a very good base.
 
If he can’t get into a Liverpool squad with no defenders, why on Earth would the loan him out for a season still paying his wages? He’s 25 so it’s not like it would be one for the future for them

He’ll be sold for around 6 mill in the summer

I’m not sure any Premiership team will be convinced to buy him and there won’t be a lot of Championship clubs with 6 million to spend I don’t think.
Saying that someone may be willing to pay more of his wages if he was loaned out than us.

Dominic solanke and Jordon Ibe were sold for 19m and 15m apiece, despite not scoring a goal

Purely because he’s a Liverpool player will bump his price up massively

Perhaps. But those players were younger and had actually played on the pitch for Liverpool. Maybe I just really want him back here like Yoowell!
 
I think its fair to say that the move for Ben to Liverpool has made him a very wealthy young man. But in terms of his career it hasnt been the best move and it has stalled. My guess is the fact that he is a Liverpool player & despite being unlikely to ever play a game for them, his value will have gone up a few million more than what they paid for him. All of which makes me resent the so called "Big 6" just that little bit more. I do really wish they had f*****d of to a Super League or sommat

Maybe if we select the right manager and show a bit of ambition in our signings he will see us as a better option....we both can live in hope I suppose.

Ryan Kent never made it onto the pitch and was 22, and very bang average, and they still sold him to Rangers for upwards of 7million

Left footed English centre back playing for Liverpool will get similar fees
 
They are close to signing Ibrahim Konate from RB Leipzig for £35m, and will have Van Dijk, Matip, and Gomez back for the start of next season. There‘s also a chance they will keep Ozan Kabak. Plus they still have Phillips who is ahead of Davies in the pecking order, as are Fabinho and Henderson despite being midfielders.

Davies will probably leave Liverpool in the summer having never kicked a ball for them, but doubt he will be coming back to PNE.

As Bobbage says if he wanted to be playing for us, he‘d have signed a new deal a long time ago.

Agree with the ethics of the Big 6 thing.

Only time will tell if this was a bad career move from a footballing viewpoint. It’s only been half a season of his life - he might have learned a lot and it increases his profile for a good move. These sorts of things can be beneficial - but can indeed cause a career to stall.

Don’t we have a decent sell-on clause though. If so, then if he goes for a few million, whatever the ethics - it would be good for us.

Christ. The delusion amongst our fans is incredible.

He’ll be at Bournemouth on loan next season regardless of the division they’re in.

If Bournemouth don’t go up in the play offs this season, which I really hope they won’t next season they’ll be like a sinking ship.

Not that they should have been sold for that much, but both Solanke and Ibe scored Premier League goals for Liverpool.

Solanke scored a goal on the last day of the season against Brighton which meant Liverpool finished in the top 4 and qualified for the Champions League.

Don’t get this.

Double J has some fairly wild views but he’s been spot on about our recent contract renewals and this.

Why would Davies want to leave, have a club like Celtic want to sign him permanently, then come here on loan next season? Especially as we’ve regressed?

It’s delusional to think he would.
 
We don't need to go ott, on the bench in some premier league and champions League games, training, conditioning and culture, experience, only missed half a season will get a move to a decent club no doubt and go on to be the player he is, a class act!
