Bermuda striker Nahki Wells is again being linked with a move away from Bradford City during the January transfer window and I get the feeling something could happen this time, with Queens Park Rangers showing interest again, according to reports.
Nahki is 23 now and sooner or later he’s going to have to make a decision that is in his best interest. He should be careful about going to the wrong club and not being able to fulfil his dreams because that sort of thing happens.
If you’re playing and scoring goals at one club, then it could change at another club if you are not getting the type of service you are accustomed to. So there is a lot to take into consideration. I think he needs to go because he’s 23 and nowadays you have youngsters playing in a club’s first team at 17, 18 and 19. A footballer’s career is short as we already know.
I know there is some attachment to Bradford for him, as they gave him the opportunity after things didn’t work out at his first club, Carlisle. In a short time, he has become one of Bradford’s star players and the fans love him and will hate to see him go. It is a lot for him to think about.
I tell people that being a professional sportsman is like being a racehorse: as long as you are winning, they want you and when things are not going for you, you are out. Any decision he makes regarding a move could make or break his career.
I know the QPR manager, Harry Redknapp, very well from our playing days at West Ham and I know how Harry will treat him. Harry’s a good person and will make sure he gets looked after because if you are not happy where you are, it is going to be difficult. QPR are pushing for promotion in the Championship, so the next half of the season will be interesting for them.
It could be a good time for him to join a club like QPR. He will also take into consideration that he could be moving from up North to down South to London, which is a different place than what he is used to.
The January window will tell us who is going to be coming in for Nahki, when they start bidding and putting their money on the table. He has been quiet on the topic and that is the best way to be.
As a footballer, you have to be humble and not be boisterous, making a lot of noise about wanting to leave the club, because they can make it hard for you. Once you are under contract, you have an obligation to that club and they will decide if you go or not.
Playing in the Premier League will be a lot tougher, it will be “dog eat dog” and you could be taking somebody’s place. I think he has the ability and mentality, but he will find it is different from scoring 20 goals in League One and playing in the Premier League. At the end of the day, it has to be his decision because he is going to be the one to live with it.

Thread | Manu Adebayor
at 12:16 31 Oct 2013
Forgotten Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor is still one of the highest paid players at White Hart Lane but is yet to make an appearance this season.
Adebayor missed the opening weeks of the season as he was given compassionate leave due to the death of his brother.
This was followed by the Togo hitman training with the youth team but in recent weeks positive Tweets from his personal account and regular appearances in training have suggested an unlikely (Nicklas Bendtner-esque?) return to the Spurs first team.
Cup games against Sheriff and Hull over the past week should have brought Adebayor at least back into the Tottenham first team squad but he failed to make the squad on both occasions.
And, last night rumours doing the rounds on social networks suggested Adebayor was at QPR’s 0-0 draw with Wigan, rather than Tottenham’s Capital One Cup penalty shoot-out win over Hull.
Fuelling rumours, Adebayor is more keen to play for former Spurs manager Harry Redknapp than current incumbent AVB.
A picture emerged of Adebayor at the DW Stadium, although it is questionable whether it really is the Spurs man (see below).

...But any legal eagles out here have any idea what this could mean for them?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/reading/10217043/Reading-kick-of
Reading will begin their Championship campaign at home to Ipswich on Saturday with a threat of a government investigation into the club’s financial affairs.
The club’s owner, Anton Zingarevich, and his supermodel wife Katsia are frequent visitors to the Madejski Stadium since he paid for 51 per cent of the shares last May and are expected to take their seats in the directors’ box.
But Telegraph Sport has learnt that the club’s Gibraltar-registered parent company, Thames Sports Investment, which Zingarevich used to take over the club, has not filed accounts since it was incorporated in January last year.
That has prompted an inquiry by Companies House, the government administrator of British companies into the UK subsidiary, Reading Football Club Limited. It wants to know why, in the absence of accounts for TSI, the UK-based company did not file a mandatory cash-flow statement in its own accounts for the 2011-12 season.
In its accounts Reading claimed it was exercising an exemption from reporting the details over cash movements. But the exemption requires its parent company to have provided them instead.
A senior source at UK Companies House said: “TSI is a Gibraltar company and there has been no disclosure or reference to Reading in any consolidated accounts. That wouldn’t make it eligible not to file a cash-flow statement here. We’re writing to [Bryan Stabler] the secretary of Reading Football Club Limited to ask him to explain why there is no cash-flow statement here” .
I wouldnt wanna be Bryan right now.

Thread | My Twitter Monitoring "# QPR"
at 10:53 1 Aug 2013
Here's how I keep an eye on things...
Dunno if anyone is interested - but using my Android phone...
- Get a twitter account...
- Download the "Plume" widget from the app store.
- Install it and add to one of your home screens.
- Open the widget, login and search for "QPR"
- Save the search
- Go to Manage columns. Add the "QPR" search you just saved
- Now you have a access to every single tweet which mentions "QPR" - which can be refreshed manually or can set the update-frequency using the Plume settings.
Works for me & my S2!
