I don't get this, he's been dead since 1968 and a very good comedian he was.

Shorter odds to join us than stay at Huddersfield. Someone must have put a fiver on.

I've seen plenty of him. He's League One standard at best. Smacks of not wanting to pay bigger bucks for a better option and taking the cheap route. Really disappointing after the start we've made.

Spot on MDWat. Praying Nixon is wrong on this one.

This is not going down well if true backward step signing
And at what price is being wheeled around would not pay over 2 million and even then Huddersfield will have had our pants pulled down
A newly promoted clubs cast off that was off from in the championship not inspirational is it

Reeks of nothing short of desperation. If this is the best our recruitment can come up with then they should all be sacked. Ffs

League 1 at best is a bit harsh. He has scored goals at Championship level. However, I'd be disappointed if we signed Wells.

There are calls for the recruitment team to be sacked following every transfer window.

Some things never change.

MDWat · Post by **MDWat** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 11:20 am

He scored 10 in 43 last season. 1 in 4. To replace Gray. Who's 1 in 2.

He's way, way short. This would be an awful signing.

I don't disagree - I'd be disappointed too. But looking at a player's record over 1 season isn't entirely fair. In the season prior to that he scored 17 goals. Just to offer some balance

I've got a feeling that this will be one of those bids that get accepted straight away.

He'd be a huge backwards step which is such a shame.

They don't sign players

halfmanhalfbiscuit · Post by **halfmanhalfbiscuit** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 11:30 am

I think what's upsetting people is that he's coming from Huddersfield. And as such, we see him as one of their rejects.
I think he's a good player, who's different from what we have.
Like many, he wouldn't be my first choice, but could he be the difference in us getting points?

Nixon has been spot on this summer with us.

He said we were signing Robertson - we signed Taylor
He said we were signing Whelan - we signed Cork
He said we were signing Shawcross - Hughes said it was baloney

That's true. Let's hope he's not 4th time lucky.

Yes, you feel things would 'align' and 'get over the line' pretty much as soon as the fax arrived at Huddersfield.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 11:37 am

No chance.

This is the type of signing the likes of Barnsley are trying to make (maybe THAT's the mistake).

I reckon Nixon is dead wrong here and being fed a pack of lies. We have shown ourselves to be ambitious, so ask yourself why on Earth we would sign the Bermudan Ian Moore (he literally is).

No chance, none.

Maybe the club are leaking rumours to set expectations so low that we'll all be relieved when we don't make any signings before the end of tomorrow.

I would absolutely rather sign nobody than this nobody.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 11:44 am

I'd rather sign Wells than nobody. Feel we need more pace up front and he'd probably link up well with our current strikers. Would still rather see one of the other attacking options we've been linked to though.

Jimscho · Post by **Jimscho** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 11:46 am

If he is an extra option to what we have don't see what the problem is.We have just signed Wood as replacement for Gray so he would be extra compared with last year.Maybe Nixon is also on a wind up.

Braindead · Post by **Braindead** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 11:48 am

Similar messageboard reactions from all the would-be managers to the signings of Heaton, Arfield, Gray, Barton, Ward etc etc.

Not overly thrilled personally but he has pace, an eye for goal and is young enough to improve under Dyche and the team.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 11:48 am

Isn't he going to be our 4th choice striker?

I'm not keen on him, but he's not and never will be the Gray replacement, that is clearly Wood.

bartons baggage · Post by **bartons baggage** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 11:50 am

A lot of people getting carried away here.
If Dyche has earmarked Wells as a target,then i would have no concerns as to whether he's good enough for us or not.
The team has come along way in 2 years,the fans expectations have gone beyond that.

Well no, he'd be 5th should we keep Barnes. Which is even more bizarre.

Imagine if we sell Barnes and sign Wells.

UpTheBeehole · Post by **UpTheBeehole** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 11:51 am

He had surgery little over a week ago, and it was said he would be 4-6 weeks from fitness. How on earth would he pass a medical.

People actually hang on to every word Nixon tweets. The mind boggles.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 11:52 am

To be honest, another CB is probably a more urgent priority, especially if we play 4-5-1 on a more regular basis

Not at all. I was delighted with Heaton, Arfield, Gray and Barton, but I don't want Wells.

joey13 · Post by **joey13** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 11:55 am

Before his surgery Hoyle said if he didn't sign a new contract then he would have to go out and find another club as he wouldn't be playing for Huddersfield again.

Aww ****, I didn't realise he was so old and isn't likely to improve his game.
