You all a bunch of morons. I don't understand how you can write off Nahki after how great he has been with Hudders. He works his butt off very hard, he is not injury prone like a lot of other players, he is super fit. I recall watching him play against premier league big boys Arsenal and Aston Villa in cup games and totally demoralized a few players against Bradford City few years ago, he had one defender in his back pocket. He even scored a goal to help send them through the finals at Wembley. How do you know these players being bought for all this dosh is even better than Wells? They aren't premier league proven AT ALL. Wells scored a penalty in the finals to help send Hudders to the premiers, now you wanna stab him in the back ffs. Ince play in the premier for Hull. Guess what? he scored ONE FRIGGIN GOAL, ONE, UNO. Mounie is not proven at this ENGLISH LEVEL, Nor is Pretoire. He only played 1 game for Porto ffs. If wells goes without a chance I hope Huddersfield get relegated fast, by Xmas. Karma is a bi8ch Calm down Mr Wells senior. I tell you what, if you aren't right, he's his brother or best mate or Nahki himself. 29 posts, a few duplicates, a few cheering Town, 14 about Nahki and the rest slagging off the defence or DATM contributors. So brother/father Wells, nobody is stabbing Nahki, football is a business as much as a sport these days. Just ask your brother/son who refused to sign a contract last year. If he had signed it then and there, it would be no issue right now, so the Karma is on Nahki now. Personally I have no idea at what state his contract is at the moment but I would be looking for value out of him, whether that is as a player or as a sale. I would also like to state that I would keep him, but can't see him having a huge impact. As you have rightly pointed out, our signings aren't English Premier League proven, but then again, neither is Nahki. Look at the coin we have to shell out to get this, a fella who scored 5 more from the wing than Nahki, proves that it doesn't bode well for him.

I hope not.
He was immense last season and we owe a lot to him in terms of being promoted.

I'm sure wells and cranie want to give the prem a go with us, even if their opportunities are restricted and i think wagner will want to keep them too.

Either that or you've just finished giving Nakhi his bath, put him to bed and sat down with a glass of wine.......... A mothers work is never done! Get a grip fella, players bought for 'all this dosh' will be better 'even better than wells' as they've done zany things like play in Europe for top flight teams and been bought by clubs for lots of money! If wells was half as good as you are setting him up to be he'd have gone a long while ago......but he's still here, scoring ten on the way to the Prem! Let's get rid, for whatever we can! Smile and boys, smile and !

His scoring record was pretty good before that, at Gent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurent_DepoitreI hope Nahki can keep him out of the starting eleven. I have a feeling that Nahki will be good with better service, although he's going to be playing against some fast CB monsters in the Prem.

Karma is a bi8ch There's barely a handful of people that are realistically almost keen to see him leave, but you are reacting as if half of us are ready to 'drive him their ourselves'. I'd prefer he got a chance here and I suspect most would, but unfortunately for him and us, I think our system doesn't have a perfect role for him, so it's hard for him to shine here.

I think it's not the question if he is able to contribute to the goal tally or deserves to play in the premiere league but can the club afford to lose 6-8m. His contract ends next year. When he doesn't extend his contract it's a now or never decision. Right now there are 5 center forwards fighting for one spot (although Kachunga is planned for the wing imo). The aim should be to strengthen the squad as a whole and there are still positions that need new players (CB, RB, CAM). The more money you have the better players you can buy.

All the speculation around Nahki stems from his refusal to discuss/sign a new contract over the last 12-18 months - his choice. He did the same at Bradford and it put him in a strong position to force a move and benefit financially. Things are a bit different now though - we're in the Premier League and Nahki no doubt wants a piece of that - Hoyle knows that. Hoyle will not want Nahki's contract to run down - so it's going to be a case of sign-up or be sold - and sold at a price Dean is happy with - which may be to a Championship club if a Premier League club won't meet Dean's asking price - which isn't what Nahki wants.
I'll be amazed if Nahki stays at Town without signing a new deal - it just doesn't make financial sense - and Dean doesn't do things that don't make financial sense. Something will happen with Nahki - I hope he signs an extension and stays.
The bottom line is that Nahki was looking after himself again letting his contract run down and this time it might not have worked out quite as well it did at Bradford.

I like Nahki and would love to see him given a chance. When we first signed him it was said he was best in partnership with a big man (like Hansen at Bradford). We've now got two of them. Not saying we'll start with two strikers, but definitely interesting to have the option of Nahki feeding of Mounie / Depoitre if we're chasing the game.

For me he needs to either sign a new deal or be sold. He is another style of striker that we will need in the premier league, but we could probably pick someone up similar or dare i say it more suited for less than Nahki is worth.
The club will obviously have their own plan, and most likely will want to repay the loyalty of those that got us here.

I like Nahki and feel he has some role with us next year. He works hard and does what is asked of him.
However, if he doesn't sign a contract soon, we have no choice but to sell him. That's business unfortunately, we can't afford to have a player on our books of his value who could potentially leave for nothing.

Think Nahki has done right by us and we have done right by him.
Remember back to when he signed. It was clear from both parties that Town were just a stepping stone for Nahki.
The other side of the coin is that someone would have to put in a decent offer for him to leave.

That's business unfortunately, we can't afford to have a player on our books of his value who could potentially leave for nothing. Clubs have to be able to afford to have players run down their contracts, if a plyer doesnt want to be sold he wont be sold,we're not going to go bust if he does run it down. About the club selling him we can't sell him to any club he doesn't want to go to So he'll not drop to the championship unless the buying club offer him stupid wages.

depends what Nahki's agent has up his sleeve..offers from Championship clubs maybe, but other Premier clubs, doubtful..Nahki dreamt of playing in Prem league but he'll want a salary to match, whereas Town will be playing on that and maybe offering less than what he wants...they'll likely meet half way as per. I personally think he'll come into his own at this level, and hope he stays . I'm sure Dean thinks he'll stay too...why would he leave unless it's to Burnley or some such...?

Not having anyone in the area to meet crosses was an ongoing issue all season. The lack of movement up front another one. I want to see a striker breaking his neck to get into the danger areas.. making those runs into space that lose his marker. Just didn't see much of that from wells last season. Too static and not doing enough to get on the end of things. Not taking many chances when they did come. Striker was the stand out weakest area of our team last season IMO. The one part of the team that failed.

It's pretty clear that we are looking at utilising set pieces much, much better this season, and targeting our lone tall strikers with Smith and Malone crosses (leading assists from last season). It looks as though Wagner is changing the Terrier style a little bit. Great managers always do.
I can't see Wells starting much at all, and certainly not up top. Maybe a run out in preseason to see if he can play RW/LW?
He's a good Championship striker, but not a great fit for our system. At times it seemed as though we gained promotion despite our strikers instead of because of them; very strange for the Championship.

The one part of the team that failed. He's not quick enough in the head. All too often he's caught on his heels when he should be sniffing rebounds, stops at the slightest contact when a bit of determination would give him an advantage, and he consistently fails to get across the front of the defender when attacking crosses.

The fact Rotherham's strikers, cast adrift at the bottom all season as they were, scored more than our strikers, tells it's own story. As poor as that was, the good thing is that it highlights just how immense the other areas of the team were.

He's a good striker who hasn't flourished in any of the various systems weve employed during his time here. He used to score 'worldies' for Bradford but for us it's largely been obvious chances.
Hate to be too critical because I like him and who knows what the change in dynamic will do for him as a player but you don't end up a club hero with his current record?

Yeah that one ... he missed a number of games... he was longer getting up to speed than others because of pre season injury.. and he had a barren spell... ( has that ever happened to any striker ever in the history of football ) But through it all he was an excellent contributor to a successful team .. whether he will get many games in the prem I'm not sure... but last season he was better than the season before. He's adapted to a different style of football and done it well imo... I wish you'd get off his case but you won't

He made 47 appearances so didn't miss many!
Its not about being on his case. Its about thinking he isn't good enough for where we are now. Wasn't last season and can't see that changing this. So thinking we should get what we can for him whilst we can get anything. Im really surprised some people rate him so much. If Ishmael Miller went 17 games scoring 1 ( fluke ) hed be lambasted as one of the crappest strikers we'd ever had, yet wells is still 'excellent' and 'immense'. He just simply isn't. If we were still rooted in the bottom end of the championship, then sure, sign him up if he will. Thats his level. But we've moved on from that now.

This notion that he is a lower championship striker doesn't seem to be shared by those in the game... I'm not sure whether dyche has bid 8m but I'd be very surprised if teams higher than lower end champs haven't bid considerable sums... but you know better.... you wasn't sure what to do with yourself the season before last when we came 19th and he scored nigh on 20 .... he didn't score as many last season ... does that mean he regressed ? Or may it reflect the different emphasis on what was expected of him by the manager, to be a cog in a successful team ? ... sure he missed chances .... he is maybe not a premiership striker ... but he is far better than you give him credit for

I like the lad, but I'm unsure if he's premier league quality, however the lad has earned his chance to show. If we don't sell for a very good fee, then we need to give him until January at the least to see. If the other two are flying and he's not having a sniff,then it may he time to part. He does deserve this chance though.
