MikeyT Posted 6 November 2012 Share Posted 6 November 2012 http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/Richie-Wellens-plans-says-Leicester-City-boss/story-17245692-detail/story.html Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy wants to keep Leicester City midfielder Richie Wellens at Portman Road. However, City boss Nigel Pearson is in no rush to commit to a further loan for the player. ​ Leicester City midfielder Richie Wellens Wellens' one-month loan at Portman Road is due to end on November 10, but new Tractor Boys boss McCarthy said he would love to keep the 32-year-old for a longer period. "I thought Richie was terrific," said McCarthy after their victory at Birmingham on Saturday. "I hope I can keep him, I'll have to speak to Nigel about that." But Pearson said Wellens still featured in his plans and had only gone out on loan to gain fitnessafter recovering from a knee injury. "We have to see where we are with that when that comes around," said Pearson. "We have not got the biggest squad and the whole idea of Richie going out was for him to get somegames. "That was the most important thing in terms of the next step in his rehabilitation." Pearson added: "It is important that we recognise that it has been a successful loan period, and I will look at that closer to the time. "We will see how he is towards the end of next week." Wellens has made five starts for the Tractor Boys during his loan spell, helping the Championshipbasement side to a much-needed win against Birmingham as they closed the gap on second-bottom Bristol City to just one point.

indierich06 Posted 6 November 2012 Share Posted 6 November 2012 He needs to stop trying to find that killer pass all the time and stop taking one touch too many before releasing the ball. If he can do this and adapt to our quick passing game then he could be a real asset still. He could also be useful for games when we're looking to slow things down a bit and dictate the tempo and play. Definitely still got a part to play here IMO and I'd rather have him on the bench than Danns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 6 November 2012 Share Posted 6 November 2012 I prefer Wellens to Matty James if I take Wellens performances for us and James's. I can't believe i'm saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted 6 November 2012 Share Posted 6 November 2012 I prefer Wellens to Matty James if I take Wellens performances for us and James's. I can't believe i'm saying that. I agree, Wellens is far more of a complete midfielder that James. Send James to the farmers and get Wellens back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ousefox Posted 6 November 2012 Share Posted 6 November 2012 I'd definitely have him back, always rated him tbh. Would much rather he was an alternative to Drinkwater than James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesbrothers Posted 6 November 2012 Share Posted 6 November 2012 I find these posts suprising considering that we've lost two in a row. Normally, rational thinkers go into hiding when that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpaM Posted 6 November 2012 Share Posted 6 November 2012 I'm starting to come to the conclusion we'd be better off with Wellens in the squad than James... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwell Pablo Posted 6 November 2012 Share Posted 6 November 2012 A couple of facts curiously omitted by our Richie and his few remaining groupies on here. 1) Ipswich have lost all of the four games he has played for them. 2) This is the third October in a row where a manager of a team he plays for has been sacked. If he could pass a football as well as he passes the buck, he'd be at a Champions League club. What's this a post irrelevant points competition?

peterborofox Posted 6 November 2012 Share Posted 6 November 2012 Certainly worthy of at least a place on the bench. Still decent at level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Fatboyslow_ Posted 6 November 2012 Share Posted 6 November 2012 I see them all as different types of player. I am glad you added that, tend to agree with you there. James is much more of a defensive player which is why I feel a lot on here don't rate him. But a fit fresh experienced Wellens has tobe an asset to the squad. It's also nice to see posters being positive about him. Arethey looking for a scape goat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
