Mills - pretty obvious

Gally - started to get pissed off with our fans

Beckford - listen to the after match interview from middlesborough game

Howard - said his last few months at the club were 'awful'

Weale - stated after he left that he wasnt happy at leicester

Peltier - couldnt wait to jump ship as soon as we bought de laet in

Not a single one of them wanted to be here, purely because they wernt starting games. People with this attitude shouldnt be playing for us, and im glad big Nige agrees tbh

Only in the short term, he might come back.

Besides, that's really 'excellent news' to you? That's the kind of season-making deal you've been waiting for is it?

Even when we sent Ryan McGivern back I wouldn't have reacted like that. And Wellens hasn't been the disaster that that guy was.

I said it was excellent news, because I don't rate Wellens and getting rid instead of being tempted to play him if we are short on midfielders is a good thing IMO - he just doesn't fit our style of play.

There's a difference to saying that's excellent news as far as I'm concerned and "season making".

Excellent suggests it's a big deal, so there's not much difference really. It's not excellent news at all, it would have had almost zero impact, positive or negative, on what we've done so far.

I don't think Nigel will be 'tempted' to mess around with a winning formula, he's not Sven, if we carry on playing good football I can't see Wellens playing much of a part, I wouldn't have expected him to be a starter this season and I don't think any different now.

For me, there's a difference between not rating a player (I think he's a squad player at best at this stage in his career) and being delighted they've gone. It just sounds like standard Wellens hate.

so apart from the 2 that was said to have commented AFTER leaving theres still nothing to confirm it..

That's fine - It's not special Wellens hate!

Sheffield United rule out Richie Wellens loan move

Sheffield United have ruled out making a possible loan move for Leicester City midfielder Richie Wellens, reports BBC Radio Sheffield.

The 32-year-old played 46 games last season, but suffered a knee injury in the home defeat by West Ham in April and has not featured so far this term.

United manager Danny Wilson confirmed he had enquired about the player.

However, the availability of Michael Doyle and Kevin McDonald mean Wilson has now ended his interest.

Had the deal gone ahead, Wellens would have followed Paul Gallagher by joining United from the Foxes.

He's hardly going to say that he wants to leave is he? Wants to keep the fans sweet. Although I would have to agree that he wasn't looking to move but he certainly wasn't desperate to stay either!

EDIT: Just realised you might have been sarcastic in which case :thumbup:

Wellens is a very clever player and has a better eye for a pass than any of our other first teamers. Part of our problem last season was the movement from our forwards was poor so nobody to pick out, hence he looked slower than he is. Still worthy of a squad place for me, especially if Knocky, King and Vardy are making runs as they have started to do of late.

Completely agree with this. I maintain that Wellens sliding the passes through to Vardy and Nuge could work well. Played slightly forward of the other two central mids.

Wellens himself admitted last season that he struggles to do the sat/tue/sat routine so he treats training with a different approach i.e like giggs does, A fit wellens would be a key experienced squad player to have going into the winter months. I believe he could also help danny become a finer player.

Wellens has been out for months. He's had very little chance to play competitive football and we've seen countless times what happens when we use players who are unfit.

But the first team is winning games and we've got an effective midfield and at least a couple of useful players in reserve. Bottom line - Wellens has next to no chance of getting the sort of match practice he would need to be effective in our first team and may well be earmarked for a loan spell.

If so, well done the boss I say.

Does it say anything about his future here? Perhaps but not necessarily because the loan should be good for him whatever.

Pearson seems much more attack-minded these days and has overseen the emergence of a team that is much faster going forward. There are also more players who can pass and move with the ball.

Wellens, for all his skill, is not that kind of player at all and, apart from our promotion from Division One, in all the time he's been at the club he's never been involved in the kind of team that looked likely to lift us into The Premiership.

The question surely is can we recruit someone better, someone who does fit in with the approach we're using today? Is there another Tom Cleverley out there, for instance?

I don't know but a month's loan would give everyone time to make their case. And, either way, Wellens should end up fit enough to resume his career at the best level he's capable off post-injury. He wouldn't likely do that by staying here and sitting on the bench or worse.

Good post but he hasn't gone, Sheff Utd pulled out as far as I know.

Wellens was player of the season in a team that almost got to the playoff final!

Thanks Marty but I've amended the post on the basis that the principle of Wellens going out on loan has probably been agreed and will quite possibly materialise with one club or another.

Are you doing this on purpose..... :P

There is absolutely no way that this would work, he would never have the energy to drop short, demand the ball and make things happen in a team playing in our new style.

He simply could not keep up with the pace, if he did get on the ball he would just play at his own speed which would simply suck all the energy out of our play...... :(

He was never Player of the Season to me and our season wasn't particularly impressive either because we never scored anything like the goals we needed and never mounted a challenge to the top two places which should really have been our target.

Yes, we got into the play offs - a four-team round robin in which we didn't even make the top two. It's a non-event we've clung to ever since and simply a reminder of our shortcomings at that time which recorded us as finishing fifth.

"Nearly" wins nothing and never has. And nearly winning a semi-final is a long way short of winning a final.
