Subscriber Dan+ 1,919 Posted June 22, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted June 22, 2018 OH Leuven have signed George Hirst from Sheffield Wednesday. This is quite a peculiar one - Leicester have been linked with him for over a year now and as a result he refused to sign a new contract with the Owls, wanting £10k a week. He became a free agent this summer after letting his contract run down (although this was as well linked to Wednesday binning him to the reserves), and he's now joined OH Leuven, also owned by King Power as of a year ago, on a permanent deal but it's effectively a loan move there from us. We've done that to avoid paying compensation for him as apparently if he joins us we have to pay it due to being English, while Leuven don't All a bit of a joke scenario really but Sheffield Wednesday ultimately the losers and Leicester the winners, if he's any good of course.

How much would the compensation be, about 15p? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
