Wes Burns signs for Leicester until 2029 - Official

[StanSP]

3 year deal is very poor. 

 

Should have been 4...

[Hales]

3 years is typical Rudkin but tbf to Wes he is at an age where he is going to push for the best deal for himself......meet Rudders! 🙄🫣

 

Good signing though, we seem to now have a good mix of experience and youngsters....toxicity gone and it seems like a refresh. Lets hope so anyway!!!

[RowlattsFox]

I'm sitting on the fence and waiting until he's played a bit 

On the face of its another 3 year contract we could do without. Probably easier said than done to get any player to agree to less then 3.

Is it too much to hope we've learnt from the past, and the contract is sensible with reducing terms? 

 

Ignoring the contract, I think he will do well this season. However there is always the small print of 'if he stays fit'

3 year deal for a guy who is 32 in November is disgraceful unless he is on about 1 grand a week

Probably a 3 + option if another 1 (on the side of the player)

[EnderbyFox]

Can’t wait to see Burnsy in action with Chappers and Cully 

[Corky]

Burns, Burns will tear you apart again

[Jattdogg]

Do we only know to give 3 year contracts. Does our recruitment team understand what 1 or 2 means? Or do we just start at 3 and go up? Lol

 

Like the signing, but would have preferred a 2 year.

Lmao £75k this all seems dodgy. Signs a new deal then we sign him for that. What’s the point why didn’t he leave on a free and get a better signing on fee/wage 

Thats weekly wage to the player

[Aleksz]

Our first 75k fee of a transfer for our doomsayer fans to find a problem with 

[RowlattsFox]

Probably some sort of fudging going on with the fee, linked t9 the Fatawu deal maybe. 

[MC Prussian]

Well, let‘s hope he Burns for his new job…

WE WANT FIVE!

He’ll be quality in league one, but signing up any winger until 34 is a mistake imo

Yeah, Mo Salah is a horrific pickup for Trabzonspor

[MPH]

Our first player signed from Ipswich!

He will be the best player in the league. 

By a fair way as well 

[Cropwellfox]

Think if we’d have had Watson, Chaplin, Cullen and Burns instead of Mavididi Ayew Fatawu and Winks for the last couple of months of the season we’d have stayed up no danger.

He’s was pretty shite last season, but who knows, it’s a step down in that league he might do alright. There will always be exceptions but the vast majority of wingers peak at around 27 ish, younger than most positions. Very few last at the top level much beyond that, the best footballers of them often move centrally to keep playing longer.

Couldn’t agree more - at this rate our side this year will be better than last years by a fair way

That and they know the fans are buzzing to be back in League 1 so just signing players that will keep us down in this league

[Pita]

Too old for a 3 year deal 

[drew]

I will be delighted if this means the end of Mavididi. Sick of his sulking face

[jv1]

Absolutely superb signing in league one - the best one so far - he is a proper player and will set standards as well - love this reset - some positivity and light at the end of this 2 year dark tunnel

Just signed a 1 year deal with Ipswich…Bet he couldn’t believe his luck when we rocked up and offered 3 years
