According to SSN Swansea approached us to see about signing Wells, no fee mentioned.
Could see this happening before Thursday.

So, that's Vydra, Wells and Tarkowski on their way.

Any incomings or just too difficult?

We have to sell to buy

Nope, it's coming out of our ear holes.

You may have missed the idea that rumours aren't necessarily true.

No that's wax and you should clean it.

No - happy with that. Your statement however appears to be more fact that rumour.....

Other brands are available

I bet you we don't. But if we bring someone in it makes sense to move a player on if he's deemed surplus to requirements.

If Wells goes, we can't afford to let Vydra go to Leeds. We'll have 3 forwards.

What a load of tosh.

GSTQ!

Our 4th choice forward gets about a game a seasoned in combined minutes, so both could leave.

Also theres Jeff who has and can play number 10 if we had the unfortunate situation where 2 of the 3 forwards were out.

It's not like we have prolonged cup runs etc. We average 40 games a season, 3 forwards is ok.

I'd be very surprised if Vydra is here on Friday, and if he is I'd be surprised if hes played in anything other than an absolute emergency.

The best reason for selling is when we have 25 players over 21yrs of age on Jan 1st 2019 in our squad.

If one of our forwards gets an injury it means we have no forward on the bench. Would you risk that if you were a manager?

And Jeff cannot play the number 10 - we all know that

3 forwards is not ok. Not at all.

According to sky sports Dyche has turned down the offer for Wells

3 forwards is not ok and neither is 3 midfielders

It's something we've been willing to do before multiple times, for multiple positions.

Any way its all irrelevant, Vydra wont be here, and the 4th choice will see a combined 90 minutes of premier league football if he is lucky.

It wouldn't matter if the 4th choice was Wells, or John Wooferson who lives 5 doors down from me, both not good enough, and would be used purely in an emergency ( and even then I think another player out of position would be preferred )

That's my point. You need a 4th forward for that reason - an 'emergency'.

It's like not bothering with having a keeper on the bench as it's unlikely he'll be needed, if we go down that line of thinking.

Wells cost £5m I think we massively overpaid but unfortunately will have to take whatever we can to get rid of him

Wasn't at the game on Saturday but some folk felt he did well when he came on, so maybe Sean is having a re-think?

That's it in a nutshell.

Dyche only wants the bodies for training purposes. He will use a regular player out of position before he goes down the pecking order.

Would you be happy for us to go with 3 forwards?

If we started with two strikers (one of them gets injured) and Dyche turns to the bench, has the option of bringing Hendrick or Wells on then Nahki better get ready to hold Jeff's training top.

Swansea just sold McBurnie to Sheff Utd for 20 million, I would imagine we will comfortably recoup the 5 million

Yes, it is another one out, but he was never really here at all was he?

That's assuming that Jeff isn't already filling in at midfield !!

I'm pretty sure Dyche would rather switch to 4-5-1 in an injury crisis rather than start Vydra or Wells in a league game. It's pointless either of them being at the club really.
