Morning Foxes. Villa didn't just release him, he wouldn't agree the terms on the new deal they offered him, which were apparently over £20k a week, so I wouldn't expect £30k to be too far out. He's a decent player too, he was pretty much ever-present for the second half of the season and was one of their best players during the run-in.
I agree that he's a decent player, but I'd want to sign him on something closer to his current deal. I don't think he's worth twice as much as Villa are playing him.
@SkySportsPeteO: Leicester are closing in on the signings of free agents Marc Albrighton and Ben Hamer. #lcfc #avfc #cafc
I honestly don't know how some people have never heard of this guy! I've seen Facebook post and stuff asking who he is!
I'd be happy with some quality freebies like these 2! RE: Albrightons wages, i guess it all depends what we think hes worth. The fact that he is free will raise his wages a little imo. Say Pearson would have paid maybe £2m for him, if we offer him £30k a week for 3 years on a free, his wages are going to be more like £20k a week.
