Goodbye Nicky Wells, should of scored more, refused to sign a contract. Close the door on the way out. One Ishy Miller ! Not as good as Wells IMO. |

If it's Burnley away it'll be nothing, because he'll still be out injured. Against Burnley at home, I'll applaud when his name is announced for the service he gave us.. Applaud him why? He was offered a contract in the league he always dreamed of playing in. He turned it down, newly promoted, maybe the best manger around. More interested in money, not like the money is bad anyway. It's the way you go about things, Clayton will always get a clap from me. Butterfield no. Weird principles there - Clayton did exactly the same as Wells refused to sign a new contract at Town and we had to sell him to get some money 12 months before his contract ran out. At least from Nahki's point of view he moved to have a better chance of getting gametime. Clayton left while he was sstill first choice at Town Nahki hasn't - Would you sign a longer contract for a club and coach that has consistantly tried to replace you with firstly Terodde and Uth and now Mounié and Depoitre. Nahki deserves to be treated no worse than Clayton IMO. What exactly has Nahki done wrong - he's never moaned to the press, never publicly rocked the boat he has always gone about his business in a professional manner. Will you similarly turn on Wagner, currently the best around, when he decides to leave us? |

Also until the serious rumours came up, guessing the serious bid from Burnley, he's been quite active on Twitter as normal all through the summer retweeting town and players signing new contracts etc. Hardly seems like he's forced his way out on bad terms, just didn't sign a new contract which is up to him. |

Rather than having our pants down, maybe Dean has done the honourable thing and said to Nakhi that if he wants to leave, the club will not stand in his way and help him go to a club that he is happy with. Which would mean that Dean has rewarded Nakhi's service and contributions last season with a reduced transfer fee....

I wish him well. He came to us as a struggling Championship team and scored a very respectable amount of goals for us. Under Wagner he has worked on his all round game and is a much better player as a result. His first touch, passing and hold up play are now very good, and he's a much more rounded player.
He was superb in the play offs last season, and scored a nerve less penalty when we were under real pressure in the shootout. He was an integral part of our promotion last season and we should not forget it.
I hope it works out for him at Burnley. They play are more direct style with target men so that might suit him better. Either way he'll get a clap from me whenever he returns.

Cheers nakhi it's worked out well for all parties, I wish you well in the future as long as it's not at our expense. Huddersfield have gained big time you've probably cost us nothing 2.3mill to Bradford and 2.7 mill would easily have covered your wages and that's if it's 5 million. So thanks for helping us to the promised land. Good luck !! According to the BBC it's £5 million. |

Am a bit sad he's gone tbh......but it was the managers decision and he is happy enough so we move on.
What I don't get is any vitriol towards him particularly nick (remember your cult hero Clayton wouldn't sign either and pushed for a move!) - should receive a super ovation before we play against Burnley or whoever he goes on to play for and then nothing whilst the game itself is on - wish him well, hopefully not at our expense and I sincerely hope we have an iron in the fire to replace him.....big gamble if not imo given kachunga and Quaner are better out wide and Depoitre is the invisible man in the league seemingly.

Don't compare, ambitions with greed. Clayton wanted £20,000 a week and would have signed with us for that - Is that what you would call ambitious? Clayton was transferred within the same division to Middlesbrough, Nahki has done exactly the same with Burnley! I think you need to rethink your stance. |

Striker Andre Gray went for £18m. 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. I agree there's a difference between what the two have proven and Wells wouldn't be expected to start, but I don't think the fact we have some fans that are deranged enough to have taken £2m last summer is any sort of justification 😂 |

As you say it's all about opinion - Burnley now have Chris Wood, Nahki Wells, Sam Vokes, Ashley Barnes and Johnathan Walters as their main FIVE out and out experienced proven strikers. We have Mounie and DePoitre, and for whatever reason DePoitre has not set the club on fire since his arrival. If Mounie is injured we have Kachunga (not a one up front striker throughout his career) Quaner (at times he does struggle to control a football) and the likes of Lolley. Chris Wood alone has scored more than all our strikers put together - it's putting a hell of a lot of responsibility on Ince and Palmer to suddenly start scoring in the Premiership. All about opinion, and I totally accept that Wagner knows a hundred times more than I will ever know about football management and has worked absolute miracles, but I think it's fair to express a bit of concern about our lack of finishing ability. Statistically it's weaker than last season, and we're now in the Premiership. I don't usually 'this' on DATM but, this! Totally agree I don't usually shout, but (😛).... THEY TEND TO PLAY TWO UP TOP SO ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL REQUIRE TWICE AS MANY OUT AND OUT STRIKERS, AS HAS BEEN SAID A NUMBER OF TIMES. We have two right backs, two left backs, TWO STRIKERS, etc. Don't get me wrong, I do see an argument for an alternative type of striker, but there's no desperation, especially with Kachunga having been such for most of his career. |

Statistically it's weaker than last season, and we're now in the Premiership. Chris Wood has scored 88 goals in 268 appearances Laurent Depoitre has scored 98 goals in 270 appearances. You might want to do some basic research before spouting off  Also, Chris Wood has scored 2 goals in 11 Premier League appearances. Mounie has scored 2 in 3. We win. |

And we're a struggling Premier League club now, despite the lofty start. A move to Burnley certainly looks like a step up in ambition and money. Much like Rhodes move to Blackburn was,...irrespective of what happened next! |

Can't grumble with the move it's the best for all parties, least he has left for a premier league club unlike the rest of the so called stars who joined championship clubs and are all still below us.

On the face of it it's a dreadful signing.
I mean I wasn't overly enamoured with the Wood signing but this, crikey.
Although remembering back to when we didn't have a pot to piss in and we got Heaton, Jones and Arfield on frees and sold Charlie Austin a day before the window shut, it's been all uphill ever since.
Got to trust the aggregate eating strawberry blond baldy bouncer with this one, yet again.

But, to be fair, all those Championship clubs were bigger/better/more likely to be Championship clubs or better than Town. It seems a tad harsh to be belittling players for leaving a team that finished bottom quarter every season, for moves to clubs that I think have all been top half for the last 4 sessons as they moved. It's not as though they went to Barnsley is it?! |

Couldn't agree more with you mate, I wouldn't have been happy if we had signed wells this window, but to sell him for 5 million with only a year on his contract....happy days |

Good luck Nahki. It was finishing that let him down last season. Worked his balls off though and different class in the play offs.

Thanks for all the hard work Nhaki the chasing of lost causes in a system that worked for HTFC if not best suited to your game. Whatever the circumstances behind your departure you leave us with your dignity intact. Best of luck fella playing off Chris Wood will I am sure be right up your alley. UTT and a big clap from me on your return.
