There will always be some who criticise everything they do, just as there will always be some with tongues up their arses regardless. Giving a young player, who has recently broken into the first team, a 3 year contract is a positive move. Even if it doesn’t work out, it will be hard to criticise them for this. It’s not like giving Andre Ayew a long contract. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

If it doesn't work out people will be asking why we gave an improved three year contract to a player with two years left to run on his current one. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

As I said, there will always be some that criticise regardless. On the face of it, he is moving from a development squad to first team squad contract on what are unlikely to be massive wages. It looks ok at the moment and it’s going to be difficult for anyone rational to argue about hindsight. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I don't think he was on standard development player wages given he signed his last contract at the beginning of last summer, and at his age would have been off had he not been considered a first team-ish player (I'm pretty certain he'd have chosen to leave on a free had we not been relegated, deserved chances were slow coming even in the cup games). But still certainly a decent payrise for an extra year. I've (almost) always sung his praises on here so I'm not complaining. He'll score goals next season if given a bit more licence to get forward. Might have a battle on to lock down that deeper position. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I disagree giving young players 3 year contracts rather give them 2 keep them hungry to perform for the next one | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Great as long as they don’t develop faster than expected and run their contracts down. Like Dan James could have. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Some? More like the majority on here. I can't say i could name any poster on here that has their tongues up their arses though? Possibly Badlands? | ![](/images/avatars/9278.gif) |

No one has really. There’s a difference between being realistic and being hysterical. I’m no fan of the Americans but the constant moaning whenever they do anything, be it positive or negative, is starting to get laughable. | ![](/images/avatars/12611.gif) |

I wouldn’t agree with that. The majority on here aren’t too keen on them in general, with very good reason. They’ve been a bit of a disappointment to say the least. That’s not the same as criticising everything they do. Giving Byers a new contract looks a good decision to me and seemingly to most contributors to this thread. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

They were idiots for thinking Huw was God’s gift to football transfers but they’ve done a great thing in getting Birch on board. You can’t change yesterday but you can change tomorrow. Time to give them all (Cooper included) a bit of slack. | ![](/images/avatars/8686.gif) |

I know. The implication is that if for whatever reason it doesn’t work out, people will criticise them for giving him an extension and a pay rise. I’m just stating that in that scenario, people won’t really have the right to moan, unless they disagree with it now, which I doubt many do. I’m pretty confident he will do well and that will all be hypothetical anyway. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

A disappointment in what way? What do you think they can realistically do better? There's plenty on here that criticise them and the club for everything they do, and you are only kidding yourself if you think otherwise. | ![](/images/avatars/9278.gif) |

A disappointment in that they have taken us to the financial brink and already resorted to selling off the silver to fund the wages of players we could barely afford in the Premier League. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
