Sometimes a good player just needs a good manager, to convince him that he has the ability. Wells pre-Christmas was pulling up trees and looking a very decent player, with great movement and great intelligence. I like him. Personally I think that Warburton can get him going and for me this would be a good move at the right price. Had he scored those pens last season then we would have been raving about him and unlikely to have been able to talk about signing him now given that he would have hit double figures in a struggling side and clubs like Florist and Wednesday would have continued to stick two fingers up at FFP and signed him.
But he didn't score them, so a moot point.
I'm unsure about this, he's a very good 'footballer' in that his passing and moving is fantastic. If any manager (based on passed reputation) can get the best out of his its Warburton. But I'm not sure I want him back.
And he'll get them as a Sub and in BOTH our ultimately victorious Cup run. His hatricks at Wembley in March & May will be key to his £50 million move to Real Madrid.
If he's good enough, or in better form than those 'considered' ahead of him, he'll get games. Warburton has eluded to form over reputation.
Good player. Lost his way 2nd half of last season but the whole team did. Id be happy to take him back. When you compare him to Washington, Sylla, Smith etc he's a cut above in terms of quality plus he's much better to watch which is a massive plus. Hopefully he gets his shooting boots on.

I think we need 4 available strikers.
He is unlikely to be on the bench as we only play one striker. We need to develop him, so I think he needs another loan.
We have Walker and other kids who can fill in in an emergency and he could be recalled in January.
If we're signing another strike of Wells' level on top of the two we've already brought in then this to me is an indication that we're we're thinking with a level of ambition this season and possibly looking at the playoffs, otherwise we'd likely make do with what we have.

I don’t think he works as a lone striker ... but when we’re chasing games we made need to switch to 4-4-2 and I think he’ll be ideal alongside Hugill or the Brighton lad.
I wouldn’t read too much into his decline in form towards the end of last season - the whole team were shite!
Bearing in mind our ‘alleged’ #1 target from the @rse has gone to Leeds and the Rhodes offer was bollox (otherwise he would surely have been part of Luongo deal....?), probably as good as we could hope for....?
Gives us options and a plan B. We’re light up front and goals win games. Shame 3/4 are loans but.....hey ho.
I think most strikers are confidence players. Feed them scraps and they’ll snatch at chances and confidence dries up. I don’t think it was any coincidence his form dropped off in our run after Christmas. Give them lots of chances and they’ll get in the groove and start taking them more to regularly.
I think a fit, motivated, confident Wells could be pretty lethal.
Edit: i’d imagine Clive will be a bit gutted we’ve chosen Wells again over Hemed

I normally don't like confidence as an explanation of a player's form (as it's a circular explanation), but in this case his confidence really did go to pieces.
Wells scores the winning goal in the play off final only for the football league to realize that QPR did not fax the loan paperwork in time at the beginning of the season. QPR end up with a points deduction and relegation to league 1 instead of Premier league football. #Watch this space.....
