Morning eds according to a couple of papers we have bid 8 mill for Swansea lb Ben Davies, do u know if this is true or guess work by the papers thanks

{Ed001's Note - that is news to me, you are after more than one left back (which suggest Poch has already seen what Tim Sherwood didn't, that Rose is not good enough for the role at Spurs), but I was told the second target, as a back up, was Taylor of Swansea. So it could be a mix up by one or the other. I was told it in conversation over the phone, I honestly can't remember whether the words used were just 'Swansea left back' and I filled in Taylor because he came to mind, or if they specifically said Neil Taylor. I have emailed them to ask. It could easily be that the papers are guessing because Poch had Swansea watched a fair bit. They do a lot of that. They have a list of the games that Southampton had scouts at, they will be cross referencing them and making guesses about the players that were being watched. That is how a lot of the rumours they start come about.}
