Undergoing a medical at Leicester apparently. If true, strange he signed a new deal, as surely we aren’t getting much of a fee?

This does not surprise me at all. |  |

Not necessarily surprising, except for the fact that he signed a new deal. I presume he'd have got a decent signing-on fee as a free agent. | |

Nice for him and Chappers if it happens. |  | | |

Him and Gaz didn't hit it off? Chappers influence? Bit odd with him signing contract.
McAteer to stay? | | | |

He may have just had a change of heart, especially since Chaplin signed for them. |  | | |

Wonder if we get a fee?
Strange how this has played out, maybe Wes has been told he’ll be 3rd / 4th choice and therefore he wants to go and play games.
Peculiar to have all the club media around one more year of Wes for this to happen. Taking sentimentality out, I think Wes moving on now is the right decision. Will be remembered as a real modern day club legend.
We’ll need another option to rotate with Fatawu as the drop from Fatawu to McAteer / Egeli is huge (would have said this was the case even if Wes stayed) | | | |

I know the Prem is a different beast, and I know we can't afford to be sentimental but...
Out of all the players in McKenna Mk1, I would say he is my favourite. Such a good player, so much improvement since joining. Best player in the team in his first season. Silenced the doubters who thought he might be first to be replaced in the Championship season. Scored so many important and wonderful goals. His goal to go 1-0 against Huddersfield on the last day of the 23/24 season is probably my favourite town goal ever. The rabona against Coventry the same season, not just for the finish but for the beautiful build up. The two goals last season, such big goals. The equaliser against Norwich.
I want Wes to pull on the Town shirt in the Prem this season. I want him to make an impact. If I could choose who scores the goal at the end of the season to keep us up... him every day. | | | |

….that they stuck him on a new contract so that GON could have a good look at him in pre-season rather than just let him go.
He’s probably decided he’s not up to it (unsurprisingly) and now we can ship him out, wish him well and get a nominal fee for him.
Good luck to him. |  |

I think the emotion of playing the PL probably saw him sign the deal and now the realisation of playing a few minutes here and there for a team that is rapidly changing has maybe swayed him.
Will be fun to watch him and Chappers at Leicester! | | | |

Hopefully means a direct option down that right hand side is close now. Khalaili? We can dream.
Does all seem off re Burns though after he clearly had a lot to ponder over the summer and decided to stay. Had a move to the US on the table too. And now he's off. | | | |

Absolute club legend and £ for £ the best signing of the gamechanger era. But anyone thinking that we could compete in the Premier league with Wes as back up to Fatuwa was living in cloud cuckoo land. [Post edited 5 Aug 8:55]

Head says this makes sense, heart says he should never leave and we should play him into his 40s.
I'll be very sad to see him go. |  |

….whether to give him the “#legend”.
I think it’s close, but erred on the side of caution.
I may be wrong. | |

Think this shows a pragmatism and honesty needed to move the team on. Obviously we will be sad to see him go, but I dont think anyone thought 'hey., thats what we need' when he signed the new contract last month | |

I think we will look back on the teams he played in and him incredibly fondly in years to come. May not have won the trophies of the best Ipswich teams but they really did get us out of the doldrums.
Think you could make a case for Burns, Morsy, Chaplin and Leif being on the cusp of legendary status. |  | | |

Guessing he has realised he won’t be playing that many games, and would prefer to play every week. Surely we’d receive a small fee considering he must’ve got a signing on fee from us when he signed the one year deal?
Best of luck to him and Chappers, personally I don’t mind Leicester and hope they go up. | | | |
| If this is true…. on 09:06 - Aug 5 with 5486 views | Bloots |
….the most annoying thing is that I/we would inevitably have to develop an interest/soft spot for Leicester.
Which is a bit of a concern. | |

Maybe he's just addicted to promotions and wants another one. Issue I have with him and Chappers going there is now I have to like Leicester, and I never have since they took Ian Marshall off us. That was a dark day as an 8 year old. |  | | |

Love what they did for the club, but not legends in my view.
Legend status should be reserved for the very best. Crawford, Beattie, Wark, Mariner, Robson, Burley etc. | | | |

One of the best pound for pound signings in the modern football era, and such a unique footballer who we missed every single time he was unavailable. |  |

Shame to see him go but in truth the right thing. I also believe GON likes McAteer and this could be part of Burns thinking because game time could be very limited. | | | |

S'funny, yesterday Burns was well worth his place in the squad when it was McAteer rumoured to leave, now this "news" has been announced, the opinion is that he's not quite up to it. What happened overnight? |  |
