Nothing that extreme off the top of my head, but I was thinking more of average in-form strikers picked up for the home straight just in case and then inevitably discarded. Gary Madine going to Cardiff for £6m the other year for instance. That mid season purgatory of Leon Bests and Leon Clarkes.

absolutely - not saying clubs don't pay ridiculous money for average strikers in contract. But I am saying they don't go around offering silly money for no reason. Burnley would accept getting him off their wage bill, and it's pointless anyone offering more.

Bare bones.

The reason is to have him now, when he's most needed, and for another rival not to have him. But we're agreeing it's silly. We'll see how the bidding war pans out.

I would imgine that IF Rangers were to offer £1 million (or perhaps a little less) Burnley would snap our hands off! Especially as Wells might turn down a move to the clubs that have been mentioned.

Would he accept the wages that we could offer him though? If not, what benfit would we get from playing him unless we reached the play offs? Perhaps a reduced wage but a high(ish) signing on fee might be acceptable to all parties?

Like Antti, I can't see any club offering the figure's that have been mentioned & Leeds making a £6 million bid was laughable!

Dyche has confirmed the interest from Forest and Bristol City and has alerted MW that Nahki could be recalled:

Given that he could be leaving anyway, I don't understand why MW just didn't go ahead and start Wells tonight.

Don't use twitter, but someone on another forum has posted a tweet from QPROfficial stating that he will remain until the end of the season.

Surely if there had been any hard bids for Wells then Dyche would have recalled him by now and not risk him getting injured

Yes I saw that as well. I can sadly half believe that sort of deal being done at the end of the season.

Never knowingly right.

Never mind, there's plenty of time to get a replacement from Spuds.

It's being so happy that keeps me going.

Good point as it is interest rather than hard bids. Could be a tactic to encourage QPR to table an offer.

We should be able to get get Wells + cash for BOS. Youngster at 22, 1.5 years contract left (we have option to extend) vs striker nearing 30 almost out of contract. Hopefully that cash can be used to make Nahki and offer he will stay for.

Then sell Nahki for £15 in the summer. :)

There is certainly some logic in the possibility of Burnley offering Wells plus cash for BOS as Bright is a Dyche type player.

Whether they could agree the arithmetic could be a problem though. What price would we put on BOS? What would Wells be valued at? Will Wells accept wages in line with what we currently contribute?

Personally I would like us to ask for a minimum of £6 million plus Wells, but that may be too optimistic!

I think this would be a win win option for us. We will lose BOS at some point in the near future, if we can get Wells a proven goal scorer and settled at the club now on contract then a result. Both players are attracting attention, Wells a proven Championship striker, which let's face it are hard to come by at a reasonable price in the current crazy market,he is in a strong position as will be able to pick and choose offers in the summer. At the moment we as a club in major financial transition cannot afford to pay even for a 29 year old a fee in the range Burnley may be touting around, but others in the division can. Would be a good progressive move for BOS as well, most likely to get game time at Burnley.

Interesting one. I think we genuinely do want to sign him but does sound like a bit of lip service for the fans. However I agree we should not do anything that is against our new structure.

lots of kremlinology possible here but it seems to me that most of the power over what happens next lies with the player? He cannot go anywhere that he does not agree terms with. Burnley will want him off books for the rest of the season as a minimum.

We want him and so do others so his agent will be trying to drive his next deal as best he can?

Its a necessary statement I think: otherwise the mouth breathers on twitter and FB are going to lose their shit saying why didn't we try to sign him. Not that they won't do this anyway.

Unfortunately we just can't afford him and Hoos said in his statement the valuations don't meet. I really hope (if he does go to Bristol City) that they can spin it so he can't play on Saturday - A knock, hasn't trained, some other PR wording . It would really be a kick in the teeth if he played against us that soon.
