Surely it can't have been completed at Gatwick? Why would we have a photo of him posing with a shirt at the Amex if that's the case?!

There's a thread on foxes talk from two weeks ago saying they were interested, way before we were linked. Don't think they jumped in right at the end, a few clubs must've been sniffing around at the same time as us

He came here because of Gus. Simples.

Totally agree. They have a half-interested manager with a lot of ex-premier league mercenaries, not interested in Leicester, only getting one last pay packet.

Indeed. And did he just sign on a whim in departure lounge Wetherspoons after 2 days of unsuccessful talks?

Twitter was alive with it yesterday that they had contacted his agent with a big cash offer but he had already committed to the Gus Bus. As Naylor was saying, it wasn't about money but it was all about the club's philosphy, playing style and him feeling that he would enjoy being hereand contribute to our success. Terms were agreed but he had to make his flight home so while he went to Gatwick the club had the contract terms typed up and then couriered it over to the airport where a member of the serviceair team ran it through to the departure lounge for his signature - he posted on the big thread last night to confirm what had happened.

From the other thread.........
right, just got back from work. this is my 2nd Nsc post. My 1st was on here earlier about the best day at work ever! I've been a fan since I can remember, my Dad used to take me to the Goldstone as a kid, done the Withdean, loving Amex life etc etc. So for this to happen to an Albion fan is amazing.I work at Lgw (gatwick airport).The time was around 1.30pm. I was securing the sky when I spot a non football supervisor running towards me. He says " you know football don`t you?" "yep " I reply, how can I help? he tells me he`s got a contract handed to him outside central search by some football club and he`s got to run it to the gate to get it signed before the player gets on the plane. "who is it I ask?" "eeeerrrrr?? someone called Vincente" says this non football supervisor. At this point I don't quite remember what I said? something like go go go go fekin go!!! I find myself sprinting off with the supervisor up and over the link bridge towards gate 102 to the easyjet Valencia flight. As we get to the bottom of the link bridge escalator my supervisor says "do you know what he looks like?" "damn right I do!!" and I see his agent to pacing up and down on his mobile with the legend Vicente sitting waiting for his contract to arrive at the gate. I introduced myself in the little Spanish I know( just enough to tell him what we had and what was going on) I then had to explain he had to sign on each line marked with an X. As I'm watching this immense player signing the contract for the Albion, the agent says to me " where is the payment section?" I point it out for him (sadly, I didn't see how much he will earn) "thanks" says the agent "no probs" I say. then I ask for a picture with the legend Vicente, he poses with me, and off and away we sprint to handover the signed contract back to the suits outside central search. What an incredible day! Without doubt one of the greatest moments of my life!! that's how it went down at lgw today. picture to follow.
btw I now dislike Sven Bleedin' Erickson and Leicester nearly as much as I disrespect Adkins and the twats along the coast for trying to nick Calde off us last year

No-one had mentioned Leicester at that point - Blackburn was the only other club being mentioned. NSC - we know, you know.

I actually find it uplifting we have quite a few players others would like and they are staying put.
