According to Andy Naylor we tried to sign Curtis Davies, but he was too expensive. Signing for Hull instead.

#bhafc were interested in Curtis Davies but he was far too expensive. Now the Birmingham centre half is reportedly set to sign for Hull.

So after Van Dijk that's the second big money centre-back we've chased. Clearly, there's a feeling we need more than Upson, El-Abd and Dunk have to give us.

Hmm, was a bit overhyped when he moved to Villa for a big fee at a young age. Seems to have finally delivered on his early promise in the last couple of years, admittedly since dropping back down with Birmingham. Put in a monstrous performance at the Amex last season in their 1-0 win, up there with the best I can recall.

£2m sounds about right, considering Brum's pretty desperate financial situation. They were asking for £4m apparently when we enquired in January (say the Argus), so Hull have done well. Think he'll do a solid job for them.

I thought upson was one of the reasons we ended up as high as we did.

Btw, my reading supporting mate suggested he may go back to them next week.

I think our interest in Curtis Davies was mentioned back in the January transfer window, then we moved on to VvD, with Upson being the temporary solution. I still wouldn't rule out Upson coming in permanently if Gus stays.

However a new manager may see things differently and have other priorities for spending his precious budget on. For example if OGJ is the manager (with all of his contacts and knowledge) then maybe he may have other signings in mind?

I actually think he's very good, a complete, well rounded CB and at 28 could play another 6 years easy.

Yes I wouldn't over-pay him but he could have been our Championship then step up to Prem version of L1 then step up to Championship Greer!

He's always been on high wages though according to rumours so not that surprised.

28, would cost over £2 million and isn't very good. Dodged bullet.

I take it you didn't see his performance against us when we lost to that wonder-strike & spent most of the match throwing the kitchen sink at 'em? Davies was magnificent.

Badias from Maccabi Tel Aviv is the man.
