Bizarre rows ends Sheffield Wednesday's interest in Wanderers star Mark Davies

I wonder what kind of reception he will get from Bolton fans if he does play against Forest? It would seem to me he will be viewed as being greedy and may get a few boos


MARK Davies’s move to Sheffield Wednesday looks dead in the water after a bizarre row between the two clubs ended in an angry phone call to the Football League.

The midfielder was poised to sign a two-and-a-half-year contract at Hillsborough yesterday until an argument developed over his medical history which eventually went public.

Davies was withdrawn from the Wanderers squad at the last minute on Tuesday night after agreeing personal terms with the South Yorkshire club.

He was due to take a medical but advisors to the board at Hillsborough urged them not to go ahead with the transfer on Wednesday – prompting Wanderers to explore their legal options.

“Sheffield Wednesday have said medical reasons but the player has not had a medical with them and they have not had any of his medical records," said Davies’s agent Will Salthouse, explaining the reasons for the move’s collapse.

It is understood that Bolton contacted the Football League to voice their disapproval but after the deal briefly flickered back into life yesterday, it now appears Wednesday have switched targets.

Davies trained at Euxton but could now seek to resurrect a move to Fulham, who have also expressed a strong interest in signing the 27-year-old playmaker.

He is, however, expected to be involved in the squad to face Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Not sure it will be worth having him back in the squad. Yes he's a good player but he was anonymous for large parts in the first place and i can't really see his heart being in it now he's pissed off about having to stay, which he will be. I was surprised Wednesday came in for him in the first place. I hope Fulham come in for him personally but they'd be mad to. Looks like we're stuck with another disinterested player on massive wages, most likely until the end of his contract.

How can Fulham sign him? Reading on transfer embargo they can't pay a fee for anyone or spend more than 600,000 on players wages/agents fees.
