I can't see how wells is better than any of the four strikers we currently have let alone what sort of transfer business is planned for the next three years if we will still be needing him by then.
The more I think about this transfer the more and more bizarre it seems

Fully agree, we should give him a chance. 10 minutes should be enough.Steve1956 wrote:Below is a view from a Huddersfield fan on another forum,seems NW was well liked there,come on let's get behind the lad and give him a chance UTC.

Well..it's bye bye Nahki then! :bye
Scanning across few Burnley fans forums it seems he's leaving a club where he was well respected and liked by everyone to a club where the fans are decidedly down beat even hostile about signing him. As all Town fans know Nahki's a 'confidence player' so possibly the worst thing Burnley fans could do is put a downer on him from the start. As I commented above, he could well strike up a profitable partnership with Wood or Vokes and I hope for his sake he does.
Clearly he saw his chances of making our starting eleven were pretty slim and personally I don't think he was suited to or enjoyed the loan striker role but in fairness to the lad be soldiered on and gave his all. It sounds very much like Nahki's agent played a big part in proceedings, with our Chairman Dean Hoyle commenting that he's been ill-advised. It's all water under the bridge now I suppose but I don't like seeing good players leave no matter what the circumstances are.
So I'll look forward to seeing him back here as long as he doesn't do a Jordon Rhodes and destroy us.

Re: ARTICLE: Clarets sign Yorkshire Terrier Wells
I had a discussion with a member of staff at Turf moor when we first signed NW, I actually begged him to stop the signing and said in my humble opinion it’s a panic buy and he’s injured , he said it may turn out to be a steal and a good signing , TBH .. I hope he gets loaned out , but only to rebuild his confidence and maybe get match fit, yesterday although it was a cameo appearance I thought his body language was awful and he look disintresteted , I think he was down the pecking order behind Barnes and Vokes and maybe even Walters,
But look at the league table and all is not lost.. in SD we trust..
Merry Christmas to all you bonkers Clarets ,
Life long

Re: ARTICLE: Clarets sign Yorkshire Terrier Wells
My word, did they not listen to you when you begged them? Rebuild his confidence? Looked disinterested? Fantastic those comments for a lad who has come back from injury and got on the pitch for the first time after 86 minutes with the team already 3-0 down and well beaten.lifelongclaret wrote:I had a discussion with a member of staff at Turf moor when we first signed NW, I actually begged him to stop the signing and said in my humble opinion it’s a panic buy and he’s injured , he said it may turn out to be a steal and a good signing , TBH ..

Re: ARTICLE: Clarets sign Yorkshire Terrier Wells
Once fully fit he'll give us a different option. Simple as that really.
Re: ARTICLE: Clarets sign Yorkshire Terrier Wells
I’d have given himonger yesterday. Nothing to lose and gets more minutes under his belt. I wouldn’t have signed him by now that we have, the lad deserves a fair crack of the whip before any negativity.
