if Mounie gets injured who else comes in to that specialist position ? You might argue that Kachunga could stand in for a match but he's nowhere near a Premiership finisher. Last season Kachunga scored 13 goals from 48 appearances, mainly from out wide. So that doesn't really portray Wells' finishing as Premier League class either, given that he scored 10 from 47 as a lone striker  |

When Nahki turned down his contract offer last year he was history. Thanks and best wishes

If Wells is a premiership striker then Bob (Beamon) is my Uncle. I never thought he was good enough for the Championship. Are you all mad? As soon as we got to the Prem we have had to go out and get 12 new players...and we are still 2 or 3 short. Even the mighty Jordan Rhodes never made it. Get real fellas. Take the money and PRAY he signs for Burnley cos thats one team we will finish above. Thats Nahki banging 20 goals this season. Every time you say something like this, it goes tits up and in the other direction Oti. Just like them gold medals for GB....... ;-) |

This will come back to haunt us, I've got a bad feeling Don't get this at all. He won't sign a new contract and even with this season's Premier League money we can't afford to throw money away, so we need to maximise the fee we can get for him. If Burnley will pay what we want and no-one else offers more, then why not sell him to them? Even his biggest supporter doesn't really see him as a top class goal scorer. If it was the other way round and we were proposing to buy Wells for between £5M-£10M from Burnley after the last two seasons he's had, would you be happy? |

And played well untill he was moved wide when lolley got injured and wells came back from injury. I am not disputing that but he can still player as a striker if called upon Sorry not come across well I was agreeing with you kachunga can play up top and played well when he did. At times last season I was calling for it in certain games |

Footballs my game, not blokes in lycra on £150,000 bikes and toffee-nosed giants from Oxford in rowing elitist sports, where only 6 countries can compete anyway. England will never again be ranked higher than Germany with FIFA and i doubt they will get above Poland! I know players, i can almost smell them. |

Did we ever get another CB ? I know we've got Stanko - back in the New Year - and we've got Crainie, currently injured and will take time to get back up to speed - but, with the greatest respect to him cos I like him, he's not PL standard ..... and Tommy Smith can play there - but he's not PL standard CB either. Hudson has retired.
One injury to Zanka, Schinds or Heff and we're knackered.
(oops. jUst reAlised - wrong thread, sorry Nahki, not stealing your thunder...)

This will come back to haunt us, I've got a bad feeling The Wood/Wells partnership could work very well for Burnley. Wells flourished with Hanson at Bradford and Wood is tons better than Hanson. The only issue might be whether Wood heads to Wells or if he heads to goal all the time. Got a feeling this combo will produce plenty of goals though, hope we have a sell on clause.. |

Some posters thought we'd be lucky to get £2m - It appears they were mistaken - others could well be re. Wells ability to play at this level especially starting as one of a pair of strikers, which he would never be under Wagner.
Thanks and I wish you good luck Nahki, but NOT at our expense.

Hope it is for £10m. £5m is far too low to sell to a rival. I know he has a year left on his contract but we have undersold if it is for £5m, especially to a club who have just paid £15m for a Championship striker

Richard Sutcliffe @rsootyypsport 31m31 minutes ago BREAKING: Huddersfield Town & Burnley have agreed a fee for Nahki Wells. Providing no late probs, Bradford City in for windfall via sell-on how much was the sell on ? According to Yorkshire Post, it's 15% of everything over £1.8 million. |

I don't see 20 but I do see 15 from Nahki, feeding off Woods. Only 1 player outside the top 6 Premiership sides scored more than that last season. I would say there's more chance of North Korea inviting Donald Trump to a garden party than that ever happening. 5 goals tops and that's only if he plays in every game, which he won't. |

Nahki is quality and if it weren't for the contract debacle I suspect he'd be more part of DWs plans.
Now it's all about driving a hard bargain - we don't need to sell, and I don't think we'll be selling to fund a replacement this window....

England will never again be ranked higher than Germany with FIFA and i doubt they will get above Poland! I know players, i can almost smell them. Someone's changed their tune re. the Olympics - What about the extensive research you put in before the Gold medal proclaimation? So you may well make money on football results - you play the numbers you have stated this numerous times (pun intended) - How on earth does that correlate to your judgement of the future success of a single footballer. Is the PL your game too? If it is why has Billing started so well in it for us and getting plaudits from all over when he should be playing for Bury? DW and his rotation policy has got us to places we only dreamt of before and you already have stated he was incorrect to do this and WILL fail in his next job. Truth is Oti - just like the rest of us - you can be easily as wrong about a player or coach as you can be right despite your supernovak type inflated success rate you seem to have created of your judgement. |

If he goes I would guess he'll be 3rd in line at Burnley (or even 4th, is Barnes still there?) just like he is here and will have little impact. If he does get some decent game time then I'm sure Dyche will get more out of him than Wagner, purely because of the different styles. Wells has never fit in since Wagner came IMO and has always struggled to have an impact. You left Ince out of your list of Town players who will get on the scoresheet, and Palmer. I'm a massive fan of both Ince and Palmer but neither are proven in the Premiership and neither are strikers. What Town have done in recent years is magnificent and in the end you have to trust Wagner of course, it's just that it would be nice to have two proven goalscorers as strikers, not midfield players/wingers who might stand in. I've no idea what goes on behind the scenes and it's early days but something seems to be up with the DePoitre situation when he's not even on the bench. Only my opinion but I certainly hope we replace Wells this week, if he goes. If not, I can't see where the goals will come from if we've just got Mounie. Wells isn't proven in the Premier League and doesn't suit our system. I would only sell if we're getting someone else in to replace him and it's close to £10m. Also if we do the deal so late Bradford won't have time to spend the money this window. |

He thought he was too good for us when we offered him a contract and now he thinks he is too good to be 3rd choice striker.
People need to stop worrying and realise that he is extremely average. This is what years of having strikers like Jevons, Parker and Miller does to you. It makes a low end championship striker look like gods gift.
Let the people who are paid to run a football club do the job. Their opinion on players they see every day is much better than what any fan sees.
We are selling him because we know for a fact we will get more money than what he is worth he had over 100 shots last season and only scored 10(?) goals last season. We cannot afford to have a conversion rate like that in the team. Even when Mounie isn't scoring he still wins every header and holds the ball up well. When Nahki isn't scoring he is just dead wood that hovers around the pitch having a strop.
Fuck him, he had a chance and karma has bitten him in the arse

Ok if you say so! |

Name me two strikers left at Town who have scored literally half what they have already in their careers. Together I would suggest they offer a bigger threat than Quaner, Kachunga, DePoitre etc do. If Wells goes we must replace him. I don't count Kachunga or Quaner as strikers anymore, they play wide for us these days. So comparison would be Mounié and Depoitre or Wells and Wood. I'd take ours every day. DW does though - so he sees it that we have 5 potential strikers with Nahki. Mounie #1 first choice backed up by Depoitre #2 and Kachunga/Quaner in an emergency should see us through to January window. |
