[Albion] Jensen Weir

[GT49er]

Being linked with another loan. Reading, Derby and The Twats all mentioned.

His three-year deal ran out this summer, presumably he has signed an extension?

You'd think his dad would have taken care of that, wouldn't you!

As I reported on here a couple of months ago, it wasn't reported at the time but he signed a new contract back in July 2022:-

I was just taking a look at the annual FA Agents Transactions Report for Feb 2022 - Jan 2023 (as one does on a Sunday afternoon) and I see that Jensen Weir extended his contract with the club in the period (which, I'm fairly certain, has not previously been reported). The report used to show the date of each transaction but annoyingly that column was dropped a few years ago; however, the transactions - 50 for Albion - are shown in chronological order (based on those that WERE reported at the time). Weir's extension seems to have been agreed in July 2022 (presumably around the time of his loan to Morecambe).

Edit: Unfortunately the details of each transaction are not revealed so no idea what the new contract length is.

The twats being Portsmouth? Or Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds, or any other number of twat clubs?

If the choice is only between League One Reading, Derby and Portsmouth, after his standout season scoring 10 goals from midfield for a shit team last term, its a bit disappointing we cant find him a Championship club.

If he's going to League 1, can we send him to Peterborough please? I've backed them for the title.

Even more disappointing that not only we couldn't find him a Championship club, but we actually found him a League1 club that isn't giving him game time!

Maybe he's just not earning that game time at the moment? Blackpool are on a decent run and are up to 8th. Just because he's on loan from us doesn't mean he's guaranteed a start.

Bearing in mind his two very successful seasons in League1 (scoring 10 goals from midfield for a struggling side last season) you'd expect him to been starting - if he had been starting and was dropped because he wasn't performing that would be understandable - but in spite of his obvious League1 pedigree he's been left on the bench most of the time from day one; almost looks as if the manager didn't want him in the first place.
Hopefully he'll be brought back and sent out for a better loan in the second half of the season.

He always chooses a town with a pier!

 

[Han Solo]

Best of luck to him. Certainly an asset in League One if used properly, Wigan should be happy about this signing.

Mixed reactions on their forum….some good humour though

Any rumours on a fee? Looks like a fee of some description was involved, “undisclosed” though.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I’m not saying it was the deciding factor but the timing cannot be ignored

Minimal, I would expect. This chap is the deputy sports editor for the local Wigan rag.

Burslem?

 

[amexer]

As i said on other thread I hope this doesnt tempt his father back up north

 

[GT49er]

I wonder if we re-couped the £550K* we paid Wigan for him four years ago? Unlikely that we'd have got more from him than we got for Leonard, I would think (Birmingham fans have a thread wondering how they got him so cheap!)

* fee quoted from Transfermarkt - no guarantee of accuracy, but usually not far out.

 

[Munkfish]

I hope he can make a career in the lower leagues. He’s got the build but sadly not quite the level we need. Plenty of time for him to develop.
