Tickles is very similar to Martin O'Neill who Brian Clough once described as "An arrogant man with nothing to be arrogant about".
I actually think brum are getting a good deal. I dont know much about this davies lad, a player is only worth what someone us willing to pay and where are all these other clubs that are after him, Im assuming they dont want to pay more than us for him. If you can get a player of hobbs calibre for a season at that price then they should grab it.
Considering the number of players we'll be signing on our limited budget, and that strikers should be a priority, I wouldn't want us to be paying much more for a Championship defender.
But he's only a Championship defender cos no Premier League club has signed him yet. Using that logic Alex Bruce, a Premier League defender, is worth more than Davies.

Davies isn't worth £2.25m, so they're lucky they're getting that
I know, but it's not like his team have been impossible to score against in that league is it? Chester and Hobbs might not be as famous as him, but they keep goals out of our net and Davies doesn't. I know it isn't just down to him, but he plays a big part. Like any signing, I'll reserve judgement until he plays for us, but I wouldn't want to pay loads for him.
If the Davies deal comes off, I'm really impressed so far with our end of season captures to date (not including Boyd as we knew about his deal anyway) Figueroa, Davies and a contract extension for Chester = great business. Looking forward to the remaining signings that Bruce has lined up.
Figueroa looks class, he was identified by quite a few pundits as one of the best free signings.
