If we got close to 5 mil for Wells I think that would be good business. He was clearly signed as an emergency backup, which it just so happened we didn't need.

Don't know but it was far too much
You base that statement on his performance at Turf Moor where he looked far better than Tarkowski and Mee

Did the Chaiman saying we bid £20m for a player over the summer "tickle" SD ?

What drugs you on Frank , why would we get 5 million for Wells ?

Perhaps because he's scored 13 goals in 26 matches in the Championship this season for QPR which is a good return.

I'd take Choudhury all day long. A massive upgrade on our 2 current centre mids.
He was dropped for turning up that late for training that he missed the tactics talk.

No thanks and no improvement

1. A goal every other game in the Championship
2. At least 2 teams interested - possibly 3 if QPR join the race
3. The link that was posted above mentions it...

"It's unclear exactly what they're valuation is for Wells, having paid Huddersfield £5m to sign him 2017, but it would potentially be in that region given the club have a 12-month option on his contract, which is due to expire this summer."

Hence my reply.

A deal including Wells would seem like a very obvious bit of business in respect of both Brownhill (who plays in a position we need to strengthen as a priority) and Eliason (who doesn't, but nonetheless sounds like he'd be a good addition).

SD often spins the media and us fans some tales, often jesting too.

I'd take absolutely nothing he says in press conferences ( especially regarding transfers ) seriously.

He doesnt speak about players open and honestly until a players has either officially signed, or left.
And that's how it should be.

Trouble with this is that he will be on more money than a Championship club will be prepared to pay him. If Burnley give him an extra year then why would Wells agree to sign to a club who will pay him less money.

Wells would be far better off staying another year getting his Prem League wage from Burnley and go out on loan again. Then next summer when out of contract he will be in a much better position to negotiate a big signing on fee or a bigger wage

We should forget about this extra year option and just be thankful we can cut our losses this summer and finally get him off our books

10 million + Wells for both would be good business for us, for sure.

Or we use a small part of the transfer fee to make up the difference between what he’s offered and what we pay him to cover what was left of his contract....that way, he’s not out of pocket, we get a fee and he has the security of a 3-4 year contract.

Bristol news reporting Brownhill has a clause in his contract that let's him leave for 7m in the summer. Looks like they have leaked it to get clubs bidding now, to stop multi clubs going in for him and raising his wages.

Im not saying its impossible someone might jump in this window and buy him and we could even sweeten the deal if it saves us wages.

What I just can't see is Burnley committing to paying Wells in the region of £30k per week on the hope a team will come in for him in the summer and Wells will agree to move.

For a club who are struggling with wages and transfer fee's anyhow it seems unlikely we will spend over £1m on a player who has only made 10 appearances since joining us.

The idea we can just take the option on his contract and then sell him for a profit comes across as more Champ Manager than reality

If it really is true that we're recalling Wells, then it's almost inconceivable that we're recalling him to play him. It means he's going somewhere else, either for straight cash or to sweeten an incoming deal.

It seems the reason we're recalling him, is because at least 2 teams want him - QPR could become 3.

So we're bringing him back to hopefully create a bit of a bidding war between the clubs.

Or Dyche thinks it’s better to bring back an in-form, match fit Wells as back-up, now that Barnes is injured?

The sale theory is more likely though, I admit.

We can’t afford to have multi-million £ assets out on loan. He’s fit, in form, time to cash in with 18m left on his contract. Hopefully, add to funds available to invest now or in the summer.

6 months left on his contact. The extra 12 months is only an option we may or may not take up. We might be happy to let him go for nothing this summer just to get him off the wage bill. Who knows, will all become clear by the end of the month I suppose!

It seems he didn't want to leave, and hear he signed a new contract with them instead. Plus, I think they were adamant that he wasn't leaving as they knew it could be the difference between going up and staying down this season.

I don't think people are suggesting that will happen, I think it's more of a case that the fact the 12 month option exists, puts us in a stronger position to demand a fee (or bigger fee) now.

Daft as it may sound, we might be calling him back as cover. He's not a PL player, but it might enable Vydra to move on.

Would be shocked if we don’t try and get a fee for a player who’s scored 13 goals in the championship.

Wonder if QPR have been paying a loan fee or just wages for last 18m?

Yes, big Leeds fan, which is a shame.

This is the issue with signing the best players: their clubs have to want/need to sell and they have to want to come!

Thats a fair enough viewpoint. I dont agree cos I think clubs are more savvy than that and it will be obvious we wont want him another year but not out of the question.

If we can get a few clubs bidding for him now to save them having to complete for a free agent in the summer and if Wells doesnt want to risk not signing with someone and potentially losing form or haveing a bad injury then I can see how we might get a fee for him this window.

If the club can get anything over £1m than fair play to them as they'll have done some great business like they did with Vokes last Jan

People are seeming to forget that Wells himself has a big say in any deal - yes or no
He is out of contract at the end of the season and will therefore be available to all suitors for free. The added bonus of that is that he and his agent can negotiate a reasonable signing on fee for his pension fund
We may agree a figure of £5m with Bristol City (or any other team) for him, but he can just sit on his hands till the end of the season and pocket our wages at the same time
Whilst he and his agent know there are other teams interested he, unfortunately, holds most of the cards

People are seeming to forget that Wells himself has a big say in any deal - yes or no
He is out of contract at the end of the season and will therefore be available to all suitors for free. The added bonus of that is that he and his agent can negotiate a reasonable signing on fee for his pension fund
We may agree a figure of £5m with Bristol City (or any other team) for him, but he can just sit on his hands till the end of the season and pocket our wages at the same time
Whilst he and his agent know there are other teams interested he, unfortunately, holds most of the cards
Apart from the fact that we can extend his contract by a further 12 months.

You’re forgetting the club have an option for a further 12 months, and perhaps Nhaki might fancy a move to a club chasing a playoff spot

It doesn't say that on the squad list from this messageboard

But if correct he can carry on getting Prem wages next year

Just pointing out that we can't force anything upon him

Taking the option to extend would be forcing it.

Maybe you should read the parts of the thread relating to Wells before dismissing other people’s opinions.

Would have loved him. Think he could have made a real impact here. Still, £20m on a player unproven above Championship is a massive risk and we were right to walk away!
Seeing as Matt Targett cost £14m , £20m for a good midfielder is par for the course these days, don’t agree with it but the fees have gone mental last two years. Not sure it’s a risk if he’s better than what we have we really need to strike before prices go even more out of control.

We really need to get rid of wells for some money really QPR must think we’re daft constantly loaning him to them.

Wonder if we might be looking at using Wells as part exchange for Brownhill at Bristol City with us loaning Brownhill back to them for the rest of the season. They have said Brownhill isn't for sale but if he does have a release clause in the summer this deal might work best for both parties and means we'll have a much needed central midfielder available in the summer (who will also be available for pre-season).

Of course this doesn't address our need for a midfielder now but hopefully we can get someone on a 6 month loan to see us through.

DYCHE TIGHT-LIPPED ON TRANSFERS

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has remained tight-lipped when asked about any January transfers, with Ben Gibson linked with a number of Sky Bet Championship clubs.

He said: “Every manager is linked with every player, even more so now. The growth in the media as we all know, everyone’s linked with everyone. It’s not an easy task getting money out this club and we’re linked with player for £20m, that always tickles me.

“[About Gibson] We’re not under any pressure to get rid of anyone, so if the decision comes that we need to make something then we’d certainly look but we’re not in that situation at the minute.”



There he goes again taking the **** out of the club - dont blow all you budget on players that you will never play you muppet
Why would it tickle him ? Thought we nearly bid that for Jay Rod the first time we were bidding. We’ve paid £15m for one player and £5m for Wells. If you by one at £20m you’ve one less wage. Not unreasonable. Think we’d have benefitted more from a PR person at the club instead of Rigg.

I'm utterly convinced that Dyche reads this messageboard and tailors his interviews in such a way as to 'trigger' the wetting of your little Y-fronts. It's pretty funny.

You've no idea what weird images that post threw at my minds eye!! :lol: :lol:

I'm off out for a beer!
