Wes Burns (signed, official)

[Ian Nacho]

These lot are gambling with the very future of the club.

@CruzNoir the pitchforks are out, get better at your job

[FoxesWalk]

I actually think he’ll be decent this year if he can stay fit, which is far from a given with a recent ACL… but three years seems mental all things considered. Would have been a good if not potentially great loan signing (I know he only has one year on his recent Ipswich deal so that is not likely, signed one month ago, when we could have got him for free)

You, earlier.

Just going to throw this one out there.. 

 

We could always wait and see as to what he looks like when he plays, before we consider him to be utter shite or the new messiah?

Spending less time on here might help I guess

Don’t be ridiculous 

[kingfox]

It’s as if they just want to keep Conor Chaplin happy.

Or just stop offering lads who were present at the invention of colour telly three year deals I think

Essentially it's promotion or bust.

So it should be if the wolf is at the door like some would have you believe, no?

He will be fine at League One level. But. Once again. He is coming from a Premier League side. We are paying a fee for him. He will be on a very very good wage. He will be here until he's 34. Our recent form with these deals is terrible.

 

His ability isn't what's in question here

I’m starting to think Rudkin also throws in a “happy ending” to contract negotiations.

 

Already looking forward to watching a 35yr old pacy winger who’s had an ACL late in life who we can’t shift as his wages are beyond most teams.

I'm simply replying to you brother, I don't need to relax for thinking Ian Baraclough is talking out of his arse

Indeed.

How many clubs you managed brother 

[lcfc sheff]

am I missing something? whats with the negativity?

 

hes proven to be a championship standard never mind league one standard, has had an injury but what player hasn't?

 

him and Chaplin were a huge part of a decent Ipswich side, again in the championship! they've both played in systems similar to the ones Russell wants to play, both would have suitors if it doesn't work out.

Perhaps one of the stupidest posts I've ever read and I've done a lot of them, congratulations 

I'll take that. 

[Dan]

You know what was a very good deal, the sort of deal I'd absolutely back them if they started going for.

 

Whatever the equivalent of Ipswich signing Wes Burns for £100k in 2021 is of today.

 

Novel concept.

Do you know his wages? Do you know his contract length? 
 

like factually?

Famously no one can have an opinion on anything if they haven't done it. Why are you on this forum? Why am I on this forum? Why is anyone who hasn't played or managed int he game on this forum?

 

By Baraclough's mantra he wouldn't have taken Braybrooke (for example) on loan last season because he had no football league experience. He made League Two Team of the Year by way

Google searched, no idea how accurate but think we should be fine for this season and next provided we get promoted and can stay up in the championship.

[hackneyfox]

3 years is more than most were hoping for but perhaps he's on a very low salary.

Or maybe they could fit a few of those criteria? Rather than absolutely none.

So every player we've signed so far, then? 

[Samilktray]

He’ll be good if he can stay fit

 

he’ll be good in league one

 

dunno which of these lines irritates me more when it comes to our signings 

[Stadt]

Well I’m just going to do the old fashioned thing and give Richards/Aribo/Carranza/Ramsey/Begovic/Coulibaly/Skipp/Okoli/Ayew/Reid/Coady/Winks/Cannon/Kristiansen/Faes/Vestergaard/Betrand/Ghezzal a chance before writing them off as bad signings I think!

Both genuinely piss me off
