Wes Burns signs for Leicester until 2029 - Official

[STUHILL]

Foxestalk:

2 year deal - best signing in years! 

3 year deal - burn it to the ground! 


p.s. I would have liked 2 years too...

If it hadn't have been for Wesley Burns

Alves would have played a long time ago

Where did he come from, where did he go

Blocking the pathway for so and so

[UniFox21]

£75k isn't half bad

[Unabomber]

Does he play right or left 

[HankMarvin]

Lucky he signed that extension at Ipswich, they could’ve had their pants pulled down if they didn’t get that fee for him 

[winteriscoming]

When I first saw the figure 75k I thought that was what we giving him a week. 
Although if it’s got anything to do with Rudkin we probably are. 

[Tielemans63]

Rudkin offering him 3 years knowing that the club will have gone bust by Year 3 is a crafty tactic. Smart business in my opinion.

Right winger is his preferred position

Yes

Thinking about it logically, it’s such a weird fee. This reeks of being an undisclosed part of the Fatawu negotiations further down the line.

[OwnGoalJames]

£75k amortised across 3 years ... hopefully PSR compliant 😂

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 

Because he is still being paid and ipswich get a transfer fee. We tried that with vestergaard, thomas and choudhury and completely messed it up leaving us with 3 overpaid players that nobody wants or can afford.

That's how you do it. Copy ipswich. They're in the prem and we're in league 1.

[CrazyKopCorner]

Or nominal fee so we would give him 3 rather than a 2 year contract 

[South Shire Fox]

I generally think he will be a decent player for us providing he stays fit. Rate him more then Chaplin

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

He'll be playing fb then

Potentially just covered the wages they’ve paid him since he signed his new deal

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

Hopefully still better than Bob the Throb/Knob 

[Long Eaton Fox]

So far so good with the signings so far. Some youth and some experience. All seem to have the right mentality. All want to work hard. Talented players in league 1.

[winteriscoming]

At the very least you’d hope him and Chaplin would work well together. 

[Aleksz]

Not even a 75k fee can get some to climb down. Impressive

At least it is a very low transfer fee

 

 

it means we are paying him a ship load, i would of thought

[Spudulike]

They're in mouning over in Ipswich.

How much is that in terms of sheds?
