About to sign a new contract according to a few news outlets.
Not sure that's the point, though. He's a good fullback, but not a good wingback. We need a backup wingback.Good. You won't find many better back up left backs in the PL who knows he's second choice when Rose is fit.

He's fine there really. Personally I'd consider playing him on the left of the back 3 and putting Jan at wingback but then you lose Jan's pure excellence (unless he's tripping over himself) at CB. Whoever plays there will be back up to the best LB/LWB in the league so we can't be too fussy, especially if Poch continues to alternate between formations.

Vertonghen would hate that, even though he's good at it.
I like Davies, think he's a good player who can just look below standard because rose and Walker are 2 of the finest on Europe.
Glad he's committed, just needs to stop faking with his hair at important moments
Davies is a decent enough back up for Rose and Verts. Probably not the best wing back but that is something he can work on.
He is fully integrated in the squad and seems to be happy to be Rose's deputy.
I am not his biggest fan but fairly happy that he gets a new contract.
But that's my point. If you're thinking about swapping Verts and Davies then doesn't that suggest we need a better wingback for cover? I'm not saying sell Davies, but we need a backup wingback.He's fine there really.
