RUMOUR: Nahki Wells

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Gone to Huddersfield

[URZZZZZ]

That's a shit move for him if you aske, surely could have got a better offer

[Royal Ginger]

Suspect it had something to do without him not wanting to move out of the area.

[loyalroyal4life]

Good move for him for a couple of years

It's local, in a higher division, and he'll get first team football. Decent move if you ask me.

[Reading4eva]

If we have been beaten to a transfer by Huddersfield it's time to get concerned. Very Fcuking concerned, think we might be in for a few seasons like in the late 90's (post playoff final but before Bullivant)

From why I've seen if him he could get first team football at a top championship club

[Extended-Phenotype]

Beaten to the signature by Huddersfield.

Yeah, looks like those funds are staying in the pocket.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Just scored the winner on his debut. Lol.

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Just scored the winner on his debut. Lol.

In the 91st Minute

[Y21]

There is no evidence to suggest we were ever in for him. It was only a tweet from a journalist who vaguely suggested it could be us. Not exactly the same as being beaten to his signature by Huddersfield.

[FridaysGhost]

We hardly need Wells when the whole Thames Valley is this flooded!

[Tommio]

Cheeky bid on the cards now huddersfield have sacked their manager?

Why would a club sacking their manager mean an owner is going to accept a "cheeky" bid for their star player?

Why would a club sacking their manager mean an owner is going to accept a "cheeky" bid for their star player?

1.The incoming manager might not rate the 'star player', might see the 'star player' as being associated with the outgoing manager and might want to bring in a new 'star player' that fits in more with his style of play.
2. If the outgoing manager has been sacked due to poor results, an incoming manager will want to change things around and stamp their own authority and personality on a squad and will gradually change it. The 'star player' might well command the highest transfer fee and therefore be the best way of generating income to fund a freshening up of the squad.
3. The incoming manager might 'blame' the 'star player' for not performing and being partly responsible for the outgoing manager's sacking and there could, therefore, be a basic lack of trust between the two from the outset.

Equally, there could be a number of reasons why an incoming manager might want to keep a 'star player' but you only have to look at the Le Fondre/Adkins relationship to see that an incoming manager will often have different ideas about the merits, or otherwise, of players in the squad he inherits.
