Ridiculous giving a 3 year deal, so risky....

Joking aside, this on paper is a top signing. Nice and early too so he can settle in and be ready for pre season.

Great signing, well done to all involved.

Well, if he becomes a club legend, no problem naming a street after him.

Turns out getting them over the line isn't always that hard. Weird!

Welcome Ben, could be a very canny signing this.

Happy with this. Good age & a good length of contract.

One down, how many more to go? It will bring a fresh edge of excitement seeing a nearly new team.

I wonder if he spoke to Marquis before deciding? Maybe JM could follow him?  :coat:

You know, I think Marquis and Wellens would get on well.

Couple of things

1. Some of them really aren't keen on John, are they?
2. Their forum is absolutely shite compared to ours. Don't know how lucky we are!

I would go and bring Marquis back up here myself if he would sign for us again.
I loved his attitude and work, as well as the goals of course.
