goawayvictory Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 could be out of west brom in January. He could be a handy pick up if he would play for the right wages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisphantomfortress Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Haven't followed his career too closely but looked decent whenever I've seen him play for national team. Any reason he hasn't been getting a lot of game time at West Brom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason he hasn't been getting a lot of game time at West Brom? Not good enough, he was the reason for a few goals at the WC due to poor positioning, should have satayed in Holland where he was playing every game. I read he had a couple of poor games for WB, but it's ment Behich has all but claimed LB as his own for the NT. #silverlining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goawayvictory Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 back loaded contract? shit money for the first year and decent money for the second. He's out of favor at west brom because he didnt turn out to be as good as they hoped and he was basically begging for a loan to try and get game time ahead of the Asian cup.

NewConvert Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Is Jason Davidson a better LB than Ramsay? or Garrucio? I think that he is. Does not require a visa spot so he should be a target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embee Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Couldn't see him having any interest in coming to the A-League at this stage of his career. Regardless of the fact he's struggling for game time at WBA he'd be good enough to get first team football in a European league of higher quality/which pays more than the A-League. Not happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embee Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Couldn't see him having any interest in coming to the A-League at this stage of his career. Regardless of the fact he's struggling for game time at WBA he'd be good enough to get first team football in a European league of higher quality/which pays more than the A-League. Not happening. could the connection to Man city be exciting for him then? I wouldn't think so. I don't think Jason Davidson has the quality to ever play for a club like Man City and he probably knows that. Why waste time playing down here on a lower wage and with lower exposure (and competing with a dude who plays in Europe for the national team LB spot) when you could be loaned/sold to a Championship level club in England (probably his current level imo) or a first division side in another European league? Just doesn't make sense to me. The CFG connection, at this stage, is going to be most appealing to teenagers looking to get the best possible start in Australia or older players who may want to transition into some sort of backroom role after retirement and see this as a perfect way to get into a good structure.

Luke Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 We had the whole pre season to sign a LB and didn't bother. Why would they be concerned now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mus-28 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 0% chance, we have no room in the cap for someone one EPL wages. Realistically we'd have to offload a few of our highest earners under the cap to even come close to what he is earning. Even then he'd be an idiot if he came back to the A-League when he'd be able to get a gig in some of the 2nd tier leagues in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting an A-League side is a bit like supporting a Sheffield Shield team. If the guy has talent, it's pretty selfish to expect him to stay at this lower level and not see how far he can go with his football. I guess if he has Asian Cup aspirations, it might not be out of the realms of possibility that he'll come home for a few matches leading in to it. But surely he wouldn't stick around after that? Which would make it a band aid and we'd have exactly the same problems waiting for us when we return in February. Would rather give a kid or two a go. He looks far from being the long-term answer, but I think the time has well and truly come to give Garuccio another crack at it. Give him a start and see how he goes. There's nothing to lose.

mulhollanddrive Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Would be good in A-League, but he's been an underperformer for NT and not that sure he was even an above average player in Holland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournelad55 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 would be amazing for our team, given LB is by far and away our weakest area... GK aint for behind actually.

Parrot Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Too many folks over rate playing in Europe imo. By far the biggest difference imo is the lack of a salary cap and the massive wages players get compared to here. Michael Zullo was nothing special when he came back to the A League on loan last season. Mind you Jason Davidson would certainly be better than what we've got. But I very much doubt he would be as good as Aziz Behich was for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samardzija Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 This kid really needs to realize he's not that good, won't ever play for a mid table club in one of the top 5 leagues. A league wouldn't be a bad option for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewConvert Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 No chance for A League. Not yet. And he is good and still very young. I have a Dutch mate who looked at the Heracles fan forum after last year's world cup. The fans could not understand what the fuss about Davidson was as he was not a regular starter and really was not that impressive. I will re-state that Ange gets the best out of his players. Club coaches so far don't seem to be able to extract from Davidson what AP has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samardzija Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 No chance for A League. Not yet. And he is good and still very young. To be blunt about it, he played semi regularly at a mid table Dutch club, a league that is very weak once you go past the top 2 or 3 teams, and then he couldn't get a game at a lower premier league club. The kid needs to pull his head in, I personally don't even think he'd be a standout if he played here in the a league. Think about when Zullo came back to Adelaide.
