Prove he’s on 6k
I don't have to. You are the one who says it's more than that. How much is it?
Whats the big deal about Lawrence Vigouroux ?
His contract at Leyton Orient expired at the end of last season. He was offered a new contract by the Os but instead accepted a 3 year Contract with Burnley and thats about it.....those who are annoyed about this happening, well players come and go in football, so get over it !!
I'm sure it's litte more than he was a much-loved player and character for the O's, Sid, and its rare for a player to jump from League 2 (he never kicked a ball for us in L1) straight to the EPL so I guess there's bound to be curiosity as to "what happens next" etc..

Carson is 37 - he's been at City since he was 33.
Can't believe we're doing this again. Vigs is only 29, which means he can do 18 months/2 years there on incredible money, receive great coaching, then get first team football in the Championship on not quite so decent money.
He wasn't going to walk straight into anyone's Championship side straight from a L2 side.
No but he’d at least have had a chance at making the bench.
I’m not so sure he’ll be able to waltz into a championship side in 2 years time. Why would they sign a guy whose last action was a decent season in L2 2-3 years ago? You say he wouldn’t get into one now, what makes you think he’ll be able to when he leaves Burnley?
I’m slightly confused as to why people are talking about Burnley as if they are Real Madrid. He’ll be on a load more than he was at Orient but I seriously doubt he’ll be on much more than a championship club would pay.
Just caught up on Ben fosters fozcast & he has been talking about his 1st West Brom contract in 2014, where he was paid 40k a week plus points & win bonuses, as well as appearance bonus. He said relegation clause to the championship was a massive percentage drop. Vigoroux is not Ben Foster, but he says money is even higher now. Premier League money puts whatever wage a 3rd choice starter will be on massive.
I don't understand why people keep on posting about this former player. He wanted to go, so let him go now because he ain't coming back. Be more interested in the current squad.

Just giving O's fans perspective of a Premier League wage for a starting player some 10 years ago at an average size club.
Do you think he’s going to care about his little playing time at Burnley when he’s retired and that money has paid for his kids’ education and a better life?
He wont be offered a new contract at the end of this deal then he’ll be off somewhere to play again.
