I just love his name. We should sign him on that alone. It sounds like a Yorkshire dialect saying ... "Ave yer been down t'nakhi wells lad ? Get y'self down thar, yer bampot".

Need to look at premiership strikers as that is where we will be next season.

Nahki Wells hasn't set the heather on fire this season with 3 in 16 and I think I read that HTFC fans would bite the hand off anyone offering a decent wad. £8m quoted - no way !

Similar profile to Baldock. Prolific at a lower level, but short of top class in championship. We should look elsewhere.

Many would argue that a more prolific version of Baldock is exactly what the team needs. Wells scored 17 in the Championship last season, that's not a bad return from a striker and especially one who was playing in a struggling team.

Think back to Chris O'Grade who scored 15 gls for a struggling Barnsley side. Look at how he fared, not great was it

No comparison... COG was and is a plodder... Wells has a touch of class about him and, most importantly for us, can finish...

He's scored 3 goals this season. Baldock has done better.

I would not be happy if our marquee signing was Nakhi Wells. At the price being touted about I would expect better and in fact would sooner go for Jordan Rhodes than Wells.
I'm beginning to think Roger Marti might be tough (too expensive) to pries away from top of the table Lavante, so instead have turned my attentions to:-
José Luis Moreno Barroso, commonly known as Joselu.

COG had one good season at Barnsley where he scored 15 goals but he's never been a natural goal scorer. Other than a purple patch at Rochdale, each one before that has seen him score a handful of goals and he certainly wasn't the type of player that could arrive at a club and be a replacement for a player like Ulloa. The main mistake there was people thinking he would be.
Wells is proven at Championship level. Players like Rhodes, McCormack, Austin and Gray have all done well at Championship clubs and then moved to another and continued their goal scoring exploits. Wells could easily do the same. Natural goalscorers don't lose that instinct. Whether the club does bring Wells in or another player, I have enough trust in the current recruitment team to make the right decision.

Not seen such Bravery!
Would be happy if we signed Wells, Lookman or Clough.
I posted this a month before he went to Bournemouth for £5m.
T'is a shame it's them as he's only had one substitute appearance and must be crying out for some game time.
