“Well, I think it would [turn Davis’ head], it has to be [distracting] with respect to
Ipswich,” Goodman told Football League World via
King Casino Bonus. “They’re a big club in the Championship, Ipswich Town, but right now, if they got promoted into the Premier League, they wouldn’t be one of the big clubs in the Premier League. “As a player, you aspire to play at the highest level you can and obviously that’s the Premier League, it doesn’t really get much bigger, certainly for British players. “If big clubs come in for him, Ipswich are going to find it hard to keep him. “He’s had a brilliant last couple of seasons. Last season in League One, three goals, 14 assists, and then the question was – can you take that fall and look into the Championship to that higher level? And the answer is absolutely yes. “This season now one goal, 14 assists already, so he’s matched at the higher level, the same amount of assists, and when you’ve got that kind of delivery that he’s got it’s a weapon, he’s an assist machine.” Despite the positive season going forward for Ipswich, Goodman has highlighted one area where he feels Davis needs to improve to prepare for life in the top flight. “
My only question about his overall ability as a player would be defending,” Goodman added. “I think he’s been found wanting one v one, on occasions.“At this level, it’s only going to get harder for him to defend in the Premier League, but going forward, he’s magnificent.“And I do think that in the modern full-backs, if I’m a head coach, I think it’s more important that you’re good, that you can attack as a full-back now. “I think attacking is equally, if not more, important than defending, so that is a string to the bow that that he has kind of think it needs a little bit of coaching and a little bit of work on his defending. “But yeah, cracking, cracking player and Ipswich would find it hard to keep hold of him, of course they will.”
