Villatillidie95 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) I reckon another loan for him this summer, with him securing a decent deal at the end of the season with a number of clubs showing interest. Luton or QPR would be good fits for him, i think he would add to the physciality in both teams and both are going to need that profile of player. Don't blame him for sticking around, he will know that realistically if he left here prior to his contract ending it would be a big salary cut as there is a transfer fee involved. Next summer there will be no fee so he will get the same or better salary. win for the player, a loss for villa, but a rational action on his part tbf Edited July 20, 2023 by Villatillidie95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple of very questionable contracts offered around then with the likes of Konsa who performed/has performed well kept on lower salaries.

markavfc40 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) There is no way Davis is on 45k a week, nowhere near. He signed his last contract in September 2020 when the season before he made 18 prem appearances, only 4 as a starter, 14 coming on as a sub. He scored no goals. His overall record at that point was 57 league apps and 2 goals. There is no way he was off the back of that rewarded with a contract that would have dwarfed what many others in the squad were on. He'll be on no more than 20k. Edited July 20, 2023 by markavfc40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, i dont see it, i can see him going out on loan again until his contract expires next summer. Kudos to him tho if he does choose to drop wages and go, but i doubt he will, and tbh, i wouldnt blame him, why take a 50-70% pay cut when you can go on loan again on your current wages, then move for free in the summer and maybe get a better deal next year on a free.
