Transfer News Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

No contract mentioned at all, perhaps just a one year deal?

No chance I don't think after paying a fee

Doubt we'd pay a decent fee for a one-year deal

If this person is bullshitting they should be banned

Looks like I’m not getting banned

That we need another winger now Browne is out for a few months.

Unless he switches to wing backs?

Usually we get a ‘long term deal’ don’t we?

Leigh isn't a wing-back

It will be atleast 2 years with probably an option for a further year.

FL insider on twitter suggesting we are one of a number of clubs after Jorge Grant from Hearts. Might just be because he is from the area but would be a great addition albeit not a position we are desperate for.

I was thinking ‘wasn’t he that non-league striker we signed’ then remembered that was Jonte Smith.

Leigh isn't a wing-back

Good enough at attacking to play as one though, I'd imagine.

expect it has already been posted but:

Sensational signing. Genuinely top drawer..

 

[OX18]

Thai signing feels very Joe Skarz. Proven at the level and ready to go. Improves the team immediately.

I was trying to think of the last quality fullback we signed up as one of our own. great signing, the fact that many of the Ipswich fans really did t want him to leave speaks volumes.

Leigh isn't a wing-back

He's a left back that can play wing back, so it's a bit trivial to suggest we can't play him at left wing back. He's played as wing back, right back and even left wing for Morecambe before his move to Ipswich, and at Bury he played 30-40 games at wing back!

You’ve only gone and jinxed us

 

[SirAndyOfCrosby]

A proven LB with bags of experience at this level, fully fit and raring to go.

Permanent deal, fee involved, from a big club.

The sort of signing that a club with serious designs on promotion this season would make.

Look lively people, we're not f**king around.

 

[Davox]

Finally a quality left back on a permanent! Been waiting years for this as Brown can play more at left centre back now in 3! All looking good!

 

[Oufccraig45]

A left-back and a fee - what will they moan about when we sign a striker?

Only a Loan

A guy I've not only heard of but have seen play well against us twice!!

 

[BrockBuster]

Comes across exceptionally well in the video interview within the OUFC website's news article.

My point was more that the signing of Leigh isn’t an indication that we are about to switch to wing-backs. He’s been brought it because he is a left-back who suits the shape we play now, a defender first who is more than capable going forward. His versatility is a bonus for sure, there just isn’t any indication that we are going to change formation soon as we are recruiting to play 4231
