Wes Burns signs for Leicester until 2029 - Official

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

I’ll keep on saying it, Josh Low regen.

[Headcase]

I have not been impressed at all with his performances, so i decided to gocus on his play on and off the ball.

 

1 he looks unfit or playing with injury

When he runs he looks like hes holding back to protect something.

2 linked to number one, he does not seem agile at all, his twists, turns and general mobility do not look like the agility of a winger.

3 he never seems to want to take anyone on, probably because of the above, but i have a feeling he wants or has been told to recycle the ball backwards. 

 

I am not really sure who he is, but he is not the same player that was at ipswich, and he has not aged 10 years in one season.  Its definitely not a confidence thing, watch is gate. Movement something is not adding up.

We have quite clearly given a 3 year deal to an aging player that’s been out injured for ages because he had a good season in league one 5 years ago. 

And the mugs on here fell for it. Just as they did with Ayew & BDR 3 years ago. 

[Chelmofox]

Complete gash. Seems to be sulking cos he’s not at Ipswich anymore. 

[ACF]

He’s a RW, trying to cut inside with his right foot, because he hasn’t got the pace to around the outside of the defender. 

[Tuna]

He looked like he had a bit of a turn of pace at Notts County, then next time I saw play in the MK Dons game his legs seem to have gone. Something's not quite right.

[ronnup]

Slow

Not skilful 

Cant cross

Doesn't beat a man

Doesnt defend well

 

Bullshit 

[AjcW]

Just not sure anything about the move was right for him and family. Timing was awful.
 

First baby has had lots of health issues but thankfully recently signed off all okay. Second to that his partner had a miscarriage this summer and has had complications with treatment after that. She’s been pretty open on social media to support others but you can see how much the move took them by surprise. 
 

I’m always one to advocate for remembering the human beings they are off the pitch.

 

They’ve been settled in Ipswich for so long and to have all this stuff happening whilst also moving to a new place, not surprised if it’s having an effect on pitch. 
 

Looked to me like RM was managing that fairly well but was surprised to see him start today. 
 

Hopefully be a useful part of the squad once everything settles down for them.

[sm1]

Slow and disinterested.

Mavididi v2.0

Another 3 years of this shít btw. They just never learn,  we celebrate and cheer when we get rid of the latest deadwood, Ayew, Vestergaard, Daka, Bertrand just to name a few. But then we just go & replace it with more shite on the same length contracts we gave the previous terrible players.

Sat on a new deal at Ipswich but wanted to come here for League 1 football? Alarm bells straightaway, saw it as an easy path to retirement and if he’s fit, then I’m Usain Bolt. 

[martyn]

It seemed odd that Ipswich gave him a new contract then sold him a month later for pittance. Wonder if they noticed a massive drop off in his physical levels in pre season or something?

 

For someone lauded by Ipswich fans as being a quick and direct winger, he looks nothing like that here. Yes he may be stymied a bit by the style of football, but he looks a mile off where he needs to be. As Ric nentioned earlier in the thread, he's towing a caravan.

Little bit of revenge for us absolutely having their pants down with the Kasey McaThomas deal

[em9999]

We gave this joker a 3 year contract my gran moves quicker and she died 10 years ago 

[Solihullfox]

Wes Burns is about as effective as Josh Low and he was the worst alleged winger that we’ve had in my living memory

TBF somebody on here said his family wanted a change because his wife had a miscarriage in the summer (not gossip - his wife has been open about this).

 

As somebody who has been through a miscarriage, I can definitely vouch for it being a reason to look for a change.

 

Maybe also a reminder footballers are human and maybe we shouldn't be quite so critical - especially if a new player who is so well liked elsewhere.

The move made sense for him, but not us.

 

He only got a 1 year extension at Ipswich,  and i think that was more out of sentiment than anything. He was never going to feature much, if at all, and he will have known that.

 

Once that year was up, he'd likely be without a club.

 

We've come in and offered him a 3 year contract, which is likely lucrative, and with the guarantee of playing time.

 

We've offered him and his family security for another 3 years.

 

Its an absolute no brainer decision for him in my opinion.

 

But from us, an awful deal that most could see was a bad idea from the off.

I don't think my post was overly critical of the man? It's posting observations about how he looks on the pitch thus far, which is well below what we need.

 

His personal circumstances are obviously very sad, so with that said, and if he isn't mentally well enough to perform, then why are we putting him in the firing line. 

 

The "liked at a previous club" comment bears no weight. We have 3 very recent examples of players well liked at previous clubs, Ayew (Palace) Reid (Fulham), and Skipp (Norwich) who have been lamentable with us.

 

The future of the club is allegedly at stake if we dont go up this season, we can't be carrying passengers at any level.

Sorry mate, I only quoted you to answer the question about the timing.

 

The rest of my post was intended to be more general, not directed at you.

Awful deal. I appreciate the need to get in some more experienced heads, but they need to be more than cheerleaders, we needed ready starters who could make a difference not over the hill mediocre players with the comfort of a 3 year contract. He was probably thinking about retirement after his 1 year until he was handed this bonus.

Tectonic plates move quicker

[honeybradger]

Genuinely would have been better off re-signing Ayew.
