Uh? It says that the club has plenty of confidence in him, it was a 1 year option in his contract not a new contract.
Some people don't even read things or think of anything but having a go at the club & the players.

Not having a go at the club or the player. He's had a serious injury and the club are giving it a year to see if he fulfills his potential. They know it's a gamble otherwise the contract would be longer.
Personally, I think he's had his opportunity at this level and I wouldn't have taken that gamble. 100% wish him well at hope it works out.

Not as if we’ve given him a new long term deal.
Personally think if he stays fit he can offer us something.
People are quick to rule players out.
Tanner was called ‘conference level’ not long ago.
Bagan was said to not be good enough
Colwill gets a lot of stick.

Very good points made.
There is no harm in giving him an extra year in the same terms.
I'm not 100% sure about Davies but there is definitely a player in there. First job for the coaches is to decide whether he's a winger or a striker, because I'm not sure they really know yet.

I think if the club has the option it’s normally a pay rise. Won’t be much more though I doubt.

At 24 he should have found his level. Never mind whether the club have confidence in him or not, it shows the level of quality that we are prepared to accept as a club.
Does he meet the Dictators rules? Cheap? Yes, does it mean we don't have to go and buy anyone ( better or not?) Yes. Does it follow his agenda that we are bringing kids through ( whether they are good enough or not)? Yes.
If We want to see change in the clubs fortunes, news like this, tell us one thing.... Zero forward thinking or ambition.
A 'That'll do attitude'

one year extension, hopefully have an injury free season under his belt and will played wide more than likely, never really given the role as the striker for us.
I do think we should of sold when Burnley came in with a £3m offer, but our luck, he would of gone on, scored about 20 goals for them, got promoted and ended up leaving for a few mill more
You are so right Jonny,
Davies has never done it as a Striker in the Championship he’s not a kid.
It just shows NO AMBITION:
Look at us giving Kieron EVANS a New Contract then sending him to Newport County![]()
We need better quality next season of we are going to the Premier League like Ned said.
