Great business for town this .
My feeling is hes not a wagner style player,
Not big enough or strong enough to play the mounie/depoitre role.
Not quick enough to play on the wings or run in behind defenders.
Not skillfull enough to play the number 10 position.
May well be that if played in a 4-4-2 off a big striker like wood he does well and scores a few goals.
But thats not our system..
Trust in dave...he knows best😉

Wasn't too fussed if he stayed or went however Burnley got £18m for Andre Gray who had 1 year remaining on his contract. We have massively undersold ourselves here. fair price IMO would be £8m, if we've got a sell on clause, which Dean regularly does have and Wells succeeds at this level then it will end up as good business. Still, the lad would have gone for nothing next June so still good business in reality and frees up the wage bill for another addition. |

Burnley have "had our pants down". Harlee Dean went for half of the price and he is a Championship CB with 1 year left on his contract. Poor business by Town but we go on. He was out injured following surgery with one year left. If we waited till January he would have been even less with no games under his belt |

Wells & £3m for Mooy?
Wells & £3m for Ince?
Wells & £7m for Mounié?
£1.5m + Zanka for Wells?
In context with our general transfer deals we're going just fine.

Must be the BBC crystal ball in use again. Pure guesswork. A 'reported' figure means he could have gone for 7 million or a quid and his train fare.. I might just make up my business figures next April and just quote the tax man a 'reported' figure..  |

David Wagner described each one of last year's promotion winning squad as living legends and I am certainly not going to disagree with him.
In time we will look back and hopefully comprehend that what last years squad achieved was beyond remarkable and if Town go on to establish themselves as PL in the longer term or not - the windfall we received this year to push us into being able to make 8 figure transfer fees should never be forgotten.
Town's 1979-80 squad were my first promotion heroes and what last year's squad achieved blew that out of the water.
Thanks Nahki, you will always be remembered by me as one of the living legends that got Town to the promised land.

Burnley have "had our pants down". Harlee Dean went for half of the price and he is a Championship CB with 1 year left on his contract. Poor business by Town but we go on. What if five million was the best offer we received? For £5m (or £4m which is what we will receive after Bradford have recieved their share), I think I would have rather kept him than help strenghten one of our rivals. I would rather we lose him on a free at the end of the season and have him above Quaner in the pecking order than sell him for £5m and promote Quaner up a place. I for one hope we have got a good replacement lined up. We are leaving it late if so... |

£5m is reported but not confirmed. It may well be £5m but it could also be £7m. It was reported yesterday that Town were "holding out for £10m".
Either way, it's several million pounds for somebody we weren't going to play. So essentially it is money for old rope.
Wouldn't mind a striker with electric pace coming in though, if not we haven't been weakened by this, as we wouldn't have played him (even if he was fit) anyway.

We could be selling him to a rival as DW doesn't think Nahki can cut it at this level so weakening Burnley in the process...

Would be worth less in January, and nothing next summer. |

I'm happy for him to go at that price and have Mounie, Depoitre and Kachunga as a third choice (after all, he got more goals than Nahki last season I believe)? Could potentially leaves us light if we run into a few injuries and suspensions but I think it unlikely and the price is worth the risk to me. |

Championship CB Harlee Dean went for £2.2m. I don't mind Town selling him but I think we have fallen significantly short in demonstrating the ruthfulness of other clubs when selling. Andre Gray is superior in every way, and proven in the Premier League. Not really comparable. Plenty on here would have taken £2m last summer. £5m-£10m (undisclosed) is a good deal for a player that would not make our starting line up, would struggle to make our bench, and, in my opinion, isn't good enough for this level. Plus only 12 months left. |

Dave was not going to start him here.. we needed to shift him on, he needs to have a chance of playing.. the money in the end wasnt the biggest issue..the penalties are etched forever..
good luck to him other than our two games..

He will offer more from what he can offer to the team than what he can offer as an individual player. Think he will compliment Woods/Vokes and certainly offers something different to those two. Dyche will get the best out of him like he got the best out of Ings and Gray. |

Last season b4 we got promoted. We didnt have mounie and depoitre then And what about this summer's extension offered or are you going to conveniently ignore that one? Possibly before we signed any replacements, and a thank you for helping us to promotion, and to get us more £££ when we sold him. We gave Whitehead a new deal too, and think he'll start as many games for us as Wells would have done. |

Good business. Would have pr byeferred to see him go to a championship side. At the end of the day, Huddersfield Town have a togetherness in the team. You can't have players in the squad who don't want to there, it breed's bad feelings.

They don't seem happy with the prospect of Wells on the Burnley forum... but many of them describe him as "pacy" - this seems to be a commonly held myth, many other team's fans were saying the same last season. One comment: "Signing Nahki Wells isn't even scraping the barrel, its picking the barrel up, turning it over, and scraping the shite off the underside of it. Dreadful signing." Ouch. There are a lot of empty vessels making big noises on UTC at the moment. Basically, they have the attitude that if Sean Dyche disagrees with them, then Sean Dyche is wrong. I'm a Burnley fan myself, and it's annoying. |

From Burnley's perspective Wood is a goal scorer but a bit one dimensional, probably why Leeds fans aren't too fussed about him going. Wells is a bit lightweight playing as a lone striker. Combined they could work very well. Not the style of football we want to play so it works for us as well. I hope it works out for Nakhi. He has always looked a bit lost since Wagner came in and this could be the right place for him.

Comfortable with Mounie and Kachunga filling in who are both superior players to Wells. Just leaves us light on the wing if we use Kachunga up front. |
