Considering the position we were in a few weeks back, and a large part of our fan-base were understandably panicking, to be in the position we are now with Hugill and Wells is fantastic.

Feel like Wells get's a bit of a raw deal from some. His performance up at Leeds away was nothing short of sensational, and if you think we'd still be in this league without him last season then you're utterly deluded. Some of the service he got in certain games was diabolical. Whether we play him in a 2 with Hugill or he's coming off the bench against some tired defences, he'll have an impact and we're a more dangerous team as a result.

Well done Amit Bhatia, the scouting team and Warburton for making some tough decisions on sales and bringing in the necessary replacements and some.

Was thinking the same when I read it, sensible plan, accept relegation is a probability, don’t spend ridiculous money, take the £100m and have a great base to build stronger. If you don’t come back up, you also have the £80m in parachute payments.

Hopefully when (If!) we go back up, our spending will be somewhere between Norwich and Sheffield United’s levels, and plan to do the same!

(Note, I’m not expecting us to do that this season!)

If the rumours are true and we are only paying less than half the wages of Wells, then that seems a really good bit of business.
And he’s out of contract next season so we could get him on a free (I think)

Wells started last season really well, but i think his confidence was shattered after missing that penalty v Birmingham that would have bought us back to 4-4, and McLaren wasn't the type of manager to put an arm around his shoulder and get him back on track. He never seemed to be the same player after that, and although he put in lots of effort, his final touch was gone.

Hopefully Warburton will get him gee'd up for this season. He's in his last year of his Burnley contract and will be a free agent at the end of the season so has some options - rip this league up and put himself in the shop window for a potentially lucrative deal next season, have an average season and extend his deal with us, or have a stinker and disappear into obscurity......

Stats back up what I said. Hemed scored 7 from 27 in the Championship for us with a hernea op in the middle of his spell with us, while Wells scored 7 from 40 in the same period. Yes Hemed scored penalties, Wells did not. Hemed played as our 1 striker in their box, Wells was usually supposed to do the same, but wandered everywhere in their half and rarely got in their box, and often got in the way of Freeman, Eze, and BOS who were supposed to be doing that. He rarely latched onto crosses or anything loose in their box. I agree Wells is better on the ball, but Hemed the choice of these 2 for me if you want a striker, particularly if you only play 1. I didn't particularly want Hemed back, certainly not Wells, it says something about our scouting of strikers that 2 seasons running now we are having to make late loans of strikers whose recent form had not been great.

But let’s hope that MW can develop Wells

I see a good striker in him.

Balotelli would be a nice fit, that's assuming he could put our shirt on the right way round...<laugh>
