Nahki for me was a loan player that wasn't a loan player he loved the club and its fans and we all loved him wore the shirt with pride always put in a shift which can't be said for a lot of the loanees we have had in the past who let's face it did not give a toss about the club I would have hoped someway we could have signed him on a permanent basis but with the financial restraints we are under it looks like it isn't going to come to fruition so wish him well for the future and good luck Nahki it has been a pleasure to see you in a hoops shirt

£7m !!!! QPR boss admits they may have to 'move on' from Bristol City and Nottingham Forest target Nahki Wells Unless he stays at Burnley, the Robins could have a clear run at the Bermudian, with other clubs across the league strengthening elsewhere QPR boss Mark Warburton has admitted they may have to 'move on' from Bristol City target Nahki Wells due to financial constraints. The striker, who has now been recalled from his loan spell at QPR by parent club Burnley, has attracted the interest of several Championship clubs this season, including Wigan, Bristol City and Nottingham Forest. And QPR were keen to make the loan move permanent after Wells scored 13 goals in 20 Championship starts this season, however they may be held back by how much Burnley are demanding for their in-form striker. Reports on Monday suggested the Clarets want £7 million for their forward, with the club having an option to extend his contract by one year after it runs out at the end of the season. And Warburton has now admitted that the price tag may be out of their range. He told the official QPR website: "He's Burnley's player, he has 18 months of a contract left to run. I know Sean very well and quite rightly they're going to call him back and see what happens. "There's obviously interested parties because he's scoring goals. "I understand the interest but also from Nahki's point of view you've got to appreciate how much happiness and the environment is worth to you. "We're not going to be in a position at QPR to go and match some of the big bids being put forward by other clubs. "Financial Fair Play and where we are, we have to be sensible but that's just life." "We can't be moaning at the situation, we know where we are, the club's making rapid strides to get everything sorted financially which we are with good foundations. "But if it's outside of our league we have to move on. Do we want Nahki? Absolutely, he's a great guy to work with and has had a hugely positive impact, is well-liked by the squad and staff alike and has been very good for us. www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/qpr-boss-admits-move-on-3785239 |

QPR turn to Tottenham's Troy Parrot on loan after Nahki Wells returns to Burnley Spurs set to let Parrott out on loan with Charlton Athletic also keen By Lyall Thomas Last Updated: 28/01/20 12:48pm QPR are interested in a loan deal for Tottenham's Troy Parrott, as manager Mark Warburton suggested on Tuesday they are backing away from trying to sign Nahki Wells from Burnley on a permanent deal. Warburton says the west London club are "not in a position to match some of the big bids being put forward by other clubs" and that "if it's outside of our league, we have to move on". Wells was recalled from his loan at Loftus Road amid talks over a permanent move to Bristol City, although Burnley boss Sean Dyche is considering keeping and playing the striker. Nahki Wells was recalled from his loan at Loftus Road amid talks over a permanent move to Bristol City Warburton said on Tuesday: "He's Burnley's player, he has 18 months of a contract left to run. I know Sean very well and, quite rightly, they're going to call him back and see what happens. "There's obviously interested parties because he's scoring goals. I understand the interest but also, from Nahki's point of view, you've got to appreciate how much happiness and the environment is worth to you. "We're not going to be in a position at QPR to go and match some of the big bids being put forward by other clubs. Financial Fair Play and where we are, we have to be sensible - but that's just life.

Absolutely, he's a great guy to work with and has had a hugely positive impact, is well-liked by the squad and staff alike, and has been very good for us. "But as I say, it's been two way and I hope very much that that can continue. I was very blunt and open with Nahki; that we're more than delighted with his contribution but, likewise, he's in a really good place, the environment is suiting him and he's thriving accordingly." The 17-year-old Parrott is set to be allowed out by Spurs for more first-team games, although the club would like him to sign a new contract before doing so, with Charlton Athletic also keen amid Lyle Taylor's uncertain future. There has also been interest from at least one club abroad in Parrott, who has not managed to break into Jose Mourinho's first-team plans despite an injury to Harry Kane, and Warburton is already nurturing the talent of two Spurs youngsters on loan in Luke Amos and Jack Clarke. Tottenham also want to add another new striker on loan themselves before Friday's deadline, with talks held for AC Milan's Krzysztof Piatek and interest in Real Sociedad's Willian Jose. www.skysports.com/football/news/11711/11919912/qpr-turn-to-tottenhams-troy-parrot-on-loan-after-nahki-wells-returns-to-burnley |

In other words we want to keep him but cannot match the fees others are bidding. Wells loves where he is and what we have done to help him rebuild his career.
But money is money and at 7 million Burnley will more than break even on what they paid for him and the part of salary they have been paying - without him ever kicking a ball in anger for them.
Interesting come Friday if no-one has agreed terms with Burnley AND Wells (unlikely). Will Burnley keep him, or send him back to us? That's wishful thinking and unlikely we could sign him on the 3 year contract he wants so we have to move on.
As for Parrot - I know nothing about him apart from the fact he is highly rated. But it will take a lot for a 17 year old to step straight in and stand up to the Championship but who knows unless he gets the chance and he does know and has played with a couple of our other young loan players.

On a more general note the Wells situation highlights the danger of relying on too many loan players - especial young ones; If they do well they will be snapped up quickly by clubs with more money and if they do not do well it does not help us.
The approach last summer to build a new squad quickly under financial pressure was spot on. What we need next summer is a similar approach but signings of people like Amos instead of just getting loans in. At least that way if they do well for a season or two we will make some money in the transfer market rather than developing them for heir parent clubs to reap all the benefits.

About 9 years yet  Seriously though it should get better , as our model improves , so do we as a Club. I think a year or two we will things getting better, we won’t be spending 5 - 10 Million on a player but we will have a better platform. The goal was not to go down to league 1 the last two - three seasons, we just need another 4-5 wins and that’s another tick. It will get better. Anyway, we are going to get the win tonight !  |

You do realise you can't send a loan player out on loan, don't you? Rumour is we are in contact with Norwich to loan a Canary in exchange for a Parrot.  Well I tried being nice but obviously did not work. By the way FFP is here forever in some form or another. The real question is how long we are going to be restricted by it and would guess around 20 years unless we get a bigger ground and promotion. |

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.

Also apologies to the rest of the board for allowing him to get this reaction from me! No need to apologise - I had the same reaction before Christmas and quit the board to cool down. Amazing the same stuff is still being posted and getting the same reaction from others. I was discussing the old term "wind-up merchant" with a friend the other day, who was not familiar with the saying. I explained it has various degrees but usually it refers to someone whose main pleasure in life is upsetting other people or provoking them to respond in an upset manner. I also explained that probably the best way to deal with a "wind-up merchant" is to totally ignore them as they find that more frustrating and unbearable than any response or reaction they get from anyone. Now of course I'm not saying there are any 'wind-up merchants' on this board (apart from me occasionally in a lighted hearted way) or I will be in trouble. However there will certainly be one poster who I will totally ignore in future. What we really need is a 'dislike" button next to the "like" button at the bottom of each post and and we could just click on that instead of attempting to have a sensible discussion with anyone who does not or cannot hold a reasoned discussion. |

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 £5 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 £4m 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

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 @ £13k per week until June (circa £275k).
Then we would have to match Bristol's valuation - higher than reality because Brownhill was higher than reality.
I have read valuations of £7m, £5m and less than £4m for Wells. The most we were prepared to pay for McKenna was said to be £3m.
Even at 'under £4m' with the additional wages we would be looking North of £4m.
I also have seen nothing to suggest that we are still willing to spend £3m 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 won’t get a better opportunity to get a 15-20 goal Striker than that.
Let’s wait until next year and buy another 3 Million Washington.

Let’s 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? |
