Curtis Davies insists he is 'good enough' to play for Aston Villa and the defender has hit back at his critics who think otherwise. "I think it is funny when people say, 'am I good enough?'," said Davies in the Birmingham Mail.

"I don't think the gaffer would have signed me if I wasn't good enough.

"I played 45 games last year. Would I have played that many if I wasn't good enough?

"I am sure the manager would have found me out by now. But it is up to people to think whatever they want.

"The main thing for me is to go out there and to play whatever is in front of me."
