Rample Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Trying to find a valuation of Wells, but for all the clubs linked with him I can't see figures mentioned. Bearing in mind it's us and we annoyed Huddersfield over the Butterfield transfer, plus QPR, Fulham and Wolves are interested I'd estimate they'd whack a minimum £5m price tag on him. I wouldn't be surprised if we're talking nearer £7-8m. Realistically what would you pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he that much better than Roos? And if so, is he going to want to play second fiddle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rample Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 See Steven Taylor has left Newcastle. His injury record has been pretty dodgy in recent years but he has got bags of experience and his attitude seems like it would suit Pearson well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK-Ram Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Not claiming to be an ITK'er and I have no online links but there is strong rumours down in MK/Northampton that Pearson has put in a 1.25m bid for Northampton's Adam Smith, who was involved in the same incident as Pearson's son. I've had the pleasure of seeing him in action a few times this last season and, if true, he'd make a more than decent back up to Carson and would be a very shrewd investment going forward.

His injury record has been pretty dodgy in recent years but he has got bags of experience and his attitude seems like it would suit Pearson well. I was going to say exactly that. From what I hear (not claiming to be itk) he's good in the dressing room and has taken his injury lay offs as opportunity to coach the kids at the club, so if injuries did interrupt his playing we'd still get something productive.

Rampage Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Pearson needs a player with great drive who knows exactly what Pearson wants on the pitch and can marshal the players to actually CARRY IT OUT on the field. I.e. a Roy Keane type influence.. An ex Leicester player may be the best bet. eg ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 A few have mentioned the link with Chris Powell and Nakhi Wells at Hudds. This would be an outstanding signing. He is a goal scorer with a lot of attributes different to our Chrissy (pace, quick reactions, run in behind defences etc) however, he has the ability to play alongside Chrissy really well, could become a lethal 1-2 punch The one big problem I can see is price. Andre Gray had one good season at Brentford after a £1 mill move, then moved for £9 mill and was a success. Wells will have interested parties, and could see a price tag of £5-6 mill attached, possibly pushing him out of our price range unless we can sell a few.

Possibly Hendrick too if he has a good Euro's and someone offers us good money. Dwight Gayle and Ciaran Clarke in. And someone to cover or replace Thorne. Oh and spend the summer converting Camara into Kante. Squad needs cutting down. Christ , your optimistic!
