    Good move for both club and player, at least he'll get to play more and maybe get into the Wales squad for the Euros

    He needs game time and isn't quite championship level yet. Hopefully he can improve at Fleetwood

    He's still very young yet.. he needs to improve and surely will.

    He was quality in the games he started. Looked championship level, but that game against Birmingham when he came on as a sub was a shocker! I'd rather we kept him and sent Reid on loan. He showed glimpses of quality but the amount of times he lets his man go or fails to do defensive duties is laughable. Think we should cut our loses and let him go in the summer

    Burns is good for a sprint in behind enemy lines and a cross but I believe he is a bit too narrow in terms of what he offers and needs to improve defending. Reid needs to bulk up and get stuck in a bit more. Both of which will probably and hopefully come with time.

    And yet so did Bolasie, who you claim to say you've always rated, to me he was similar to Burns.
    I'm not saying Burns will go on to be a multi million player, but there is always a chance when players are developing.

    Type of player that we sell and he goes on to be a class act worth several million- Bit like Bolasie

    Think I read he's also out of contract in the summer as well.

    I said when Bolasie and Adomah were both here,Adomah was a regular and Bolasie sat on the bench.
    I Clearly said Bolasie would go on to bigger, and better things.
    That has clearly shown to be the case.
    Wes Burns apart from speed, i have not seen anything to get excited about.
    Same with Bobby Reid,i think he needs to put a good stone or two on,looks so lightweight.

    Always annoyed me seeing Bolasie on the bench, always thought he was a lot better overall than Adomah

    We could have had them both play on opposite wings. That would've been mouth watering

    Wes Burns will be a very good player, hopefully for us and not someone else....
