Saha can learn lesson from Davis

LOUIS SAHA’S dream of joining Manchester United may have been extinguished by the defiance of Fulham boss Chris Coleman, but in Sean Davis the Frenchman has the perfect example of how to overcome his disappointment.

Davis put in a transfer request over the summer, citing his desire to join a bigger club, only for his £5.5m move to Everton to be scuppered at the last minute by a failed medical which revealed a serious knee problem.

However, the industrious Cottagers' midfielder has overcome that setback by making a full recovery from injury, pledging his loyalty to Fulham once again and forcing his way back into the starting line-up. The 24-year-old was at the heart of a determined display from his side yesterday silencing disparaging chants from visiting fans with an imperious 90 minutes. Coleman was certainly impressed by Davis' effort, describing it as his finest performance for the club, and the Welshman hinted that Saha should look to his combative team-mate to see how disillusionment can be overcome.
