Yeah get a Parrot, and a Cuckoo for manager while we are at it. How long does this FFP shiteee go on for ?. I am sick of hearing it, this parrot will be sent out on loan. We will plummet down the table starting tonight i reckon, i mean i am sick to death of this club. If that sounds aggressive pay no heed, its just my rant. As you are so sick of our club & the Parrot & Cuckoo, why don't you just stay awasy & leave us all in peace? Juast go to the pub on match days or watch the "sporting" game of Rugby, plus joining in with your social medis friends in the hounding of people you've never met but feel the need to abuse. When can we have an ignore function installed on this site? EDIT Just to add that I'm sick & tired of reading the rambles of a person who has no original thought's & his only satisfaction comes from gaining a reaction. Also apologies to the rest of the board for allowing him to get this reaction from me!

Our attempt to swap a Parrot for a Canary has hit a problem so we are trying a Seagull or Eagle and if hey fail there maybe a Swan available. Of course there are a couple of Robins around but we are not interested in a a fake. If all else fails we will look internationally. The is a Norwegian Blue available but why would we swap a Stuffed Dead version for the young one from Spurs. I hear there may be a Bluebird available - and if that doesn't take off, there could be a Robin available this winter. But the idea of keeping Nahki seems to be as dead as a Dodo...

Warburton needs to get a couple of players in now that two have flown the nest.
If not, I'm sure there are some who will accuse him of being a Great Tit.

Nakhi Wells to Bristol City imminent and the reported transfer fee revealed Nakhi Wells to Bristol City is expected to go through before the deadline Nakhi Wells is inching closer to a permanent move to Bristol City in a deal that could see him make his debut against former club QPR. Wells, who was in strong form on loan at QPR away from parent club Burnley, is expected to move in a deal that will cost around ยฃ5 million. It is expected that Burnley will not sanction a deal for fellow forward Matej Vydra to leave the club without a replacement to provide back-up for Chris Wood, Jay Rodriguez and the injured Ashley Barnes. QPR earlier pulled out of the race citing financial constraints while Bristol City quickly moved into pole position for the player. Dyche spoke on the future of Nakhi Wells prior to the loan at QPR being cancelled. He said: "Nahki is doing very well, we have the ability to get him back here, I have spoken to Mark Warburton and let him know the different options. "There is, over the last few days, a lot of interest in him and rightly so as he is scoring goals in the Championship. "He knows he is well thought of here but he wanted football and needed football and that is working well for him so we will make a decision on that. " The Clarets chief added: "He wanted to play football and we wanted him playing football because we didn't think he would get as much here but equally that doesn't mean we don't think he is a good player. "He is showing that by playing there and scoring goals and Mark Warburton knows the picture and I have spoken to him. He knows there is interest in Nahki but equally he knows he is doing well there as do we. "We will make a decision as it unrolls next week." www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/nakhi-wells-bristol-city-imminent-17655972Wells set for Bristol City medical after deal is agreed By West London Sport 30/01/2020 Bristol City have agreed a deal with Burnley for the signing of Nahki Wells. Burnley this week recalled Wells from his season-long loan at QPR amid interest from City and Nottingham Forest. The Robins, who visit QPR this Saturday, have agreed to pay just under ยฃ4m for the 29-year-old, who is scheduled to have a medical later today. Rangers had been hoping to thrash out a deal with Burnley to sign Wells this month but are restricted by Financial Fair Play rules. Wells, who has scored 14 goals for QPR this season, turns 30 in the summer and is in the final year of his Burnley contract. The Premier League club have an option to extend that contract by 12 months, but that would involve them committing to his wages for another year and he is currently not in their first-team plans. They are therefore keen to offload him before the transfer window closes on Friday. www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/football-news-qpr-nahki-wells-bristol-city-burnley-medical-300120

Bristol City agree deal to sign Nahki Wells from Burnley after his loan deal with QPR was cut short Nahki Wells looks set to swap Burnley for Bristol City ahead of deadline day Wells had been on loan at QPR this season, netting 15 goals in 29 matches QPR were also keen on his signature but Bristol City have beaten them to it Josh Brownhill looks likely to go the other way and join up with Burnley By BEN NAGLE FOR MAILONLINE PUBLISHED: 09:11, 30 January 2020 | UPDATED: 09:14, 30 January 2020 Bristol City have agreed a permanent deal for Burnley striker Nahki Wells after his loan spell at Queens Park Rangers was cut short. Wells has been a man in demand this month, with a number of top-half Championship clubs vying for his signature. After he was recalled by Burnley ahead of a move, QPR expressed an interest in taking him back permanently but boss Mark Warburton admitted that a number of 'big bids' had been submitted for the player. Bristol City look to have won the battle to sign Nahki Wells from Burnley after his QPR loan +2 Burnley close to agreeing a deal for Bristol City captain...
A deal has now been agreed for him to move to Bristol City, and the player will undergo a medical on Thursday.
The 29-year-old has scored 15 goals already this season for the division's 14th-placed side, but will now move up the table to playoff hopefuls Bristol City.
They currently sit sixth after three wins in a row and hope that Wells will be the added firepower needed to take them to the Premier League.
Wells' move to Bristol City is also expected to pave the way for captain Josh Brownhill to move the other way to Burnley.

I reckon we should have paid the 3-4 Million , he was worth it, loved us and scored goals better than a 17 year old kid on loan. No wonder our points every season stay the same. For heavens sake we paid 3 Million for Washington and he only scored a goal every ten, very peeved with QPR with signings and the FA Cup game.

in the end, this all looks like smoke and mirrors to me. Burnley wanted Brownhill, Bristol City wanted Wells. Burnley were subsidising his QPR loan and had the opportunity to offset their acquisition and save the wage subsidy as well. It was a no brainer for Burnley. Despite all our talk that we wanted to sign him at QPR, I doubt we were a serious consideration. We would have factored in only half of his Feb -June wages into our current cashflow forecast and would presumably have to find the other half @ ยฃ13k per week until June (circa ยฃ275k). Then we would have to match Bristol's valuation - higher than reality because Brownhill was higher than reality. I have read valuations of ยฃ7m, ยฃ5m and less than ยฃ4m for Wells. The most we were prepared to pay for McKenna was said to be ยฃ3m. Even at 'under ยฃ4m' with the additional wages we would be looking North of ยฃ4m. I also have seen nothing to suggest that we are still willing to spend ยฃ3m on any player this window. Still a day and a half to go though......... But I think we will really struggle without Wells and it just demonstrates the risks of not having any owned strikers in the current squad. I hope that we do take a risk on a young striker, because otherwise we face next season with even less in the cupboard than this especially with all the out of contract players. But I suppose that I reason the Wells saga away by thinking that we could have gone out on a limb, breached FFP and then perhaps lost him to injury or to a serious loss of form (again). The alternative would have been selling one of our young talents on the cheap to fund Wells. Perhaps Manning is looking a little lost currently, but I wonder how much he would have generated? Just to have to move on and hope that our mid-table position can be preserved without any panic.

What Strikers do we currently have on our books? Ok he was nearly 30 but you wonโt get a better opportunity to get a 15-20 goal Striker than that. Letโs wait until next year and buy another 3 Million Washington.

Letโs wait until next year and buy another 3 Million Washington. Perhaps you mis-understood me. What I meant was that I hope we can find a young talent to purchase this window. As to what we have in the locker: Oteh on loan at Bradford - not been a great loan for him Lewis-Walker - on loan at Aldershot Alfa - on loan at Maidenhead. That was my point, if we cannot find anyone to replace Wells, the locker is empty. I think our best forward prospect though is Charley Kendall. He scored 12 goals in 16 appearances for the under 18s. My smoke and mirrors point is that we would have presumably just get in a bidding war and lose because of the circumstances regarding Brownhill. Would you support breaching FFP to get Wells?

Thatโs fine Ricky I know what you were getting at. We donโt have a forward we own barely at the club at the minute, a few youngsters that are loaned out and talk of another seventeen year old , another loan. I feel without Wells we will stay in the bottom half of the table again this year now. Lets face it we blew half a million revenue we could have used towards Wells fee on not playing Man City. If we met what Bristol were offering we would have got Wells for sure, which was less than 4 Million, a fair price I reckon. At the minute we have lost our best scorer, we are team that concedes for toffee, less goals and regular conceding of goals =even more higher % of losses probably.

If we can't get a striker in before Saturday, maybe it's time to recall Smyth and see how he's developed.

Shame about Smyth. Might as well not bother then, save our money until the summer and see if we can get the five wins with what we have. Without Wells that might seem a bit tougher than it looked a week ago. Not convinced we will buy anyone in the Summer, probably another loan. Well we wonโt unless BOS or Eze go first, good old FFP for you,

Smyth has been injured for the bulk of his Wycombe loan - so I doubt he has developed very much. I thought Smyth had been playing again recently?? I'd love to se him back at Loftus Road and raring to prove himself.

No sign of thanks to the club for giving him the chance and getting him going , no thanks for the support of he fans - just about his glorifying in his own pleasure at scoring the goals this season he should have scored last season. Anyway Burnley have got their money back, he has got a 3 and a half year contract obviously on better terms than with us and probably a signing on fee. Good luck to him. Hope he does not play against us - or if he does put Cameron on him for a while and slow him down a bit. Not true at all RE Wells' comments, it's the opposite. He put out a statement on Instagram explicitly thanking the fans, the owners and the club - particularly Mark Warburton, who he said was huge part of getting the best out of him. Said the club would always have a place in his heart.
