Aus Fox Posted 15 May 2013 Share Posted 15 May 2013 I am not posting this to start a rumour or gossip, but a fellow fox friend of mine who has close links to a couple of Victory players has told me Victory are looking at a couple of experienced championship midfielders to add a bit extra in midfield. One of the players they are looking at is out Richie Wellens, they are not in any position to pay a fee and do have a salary cap however are looking to offload Rojas to free up some cash.Now my mate has been a bit of a wind up merchant, but has been spot on with signings in the past also, just wondering if anyone in Leicester has also heard anything?

whitlock Posted 15 May 2013 Share Posted 15 May 2013 I highly doubt he needs to cash, chance to play in the sun. I'd take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACF Posted 15 May 2013 Share Posted 15 May 2013 This made me chuckle. Would prefer if he came to Heart, but it'd be nice to see him play. Even if I do think he'll fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFS Posted 15 May 2013 Share Posted 15 May 2013 I read somewhere that a League 1 club are looking at him too. Either way, he's off this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 15 May 2013 Share Posted 15 May 2013 Wellens never moves from the north west, let alone other side of the world. I'd do it if I was him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 15 May 2013 Share Posted 15 May 2013 Rojas is a great player, another Victory player I like the look off is Adama Traore, looks very useful! I did hear the Victory captain is a Leicester fan, not sure how true it actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOCCERROO FOX Posted 16 May 2013 Share Posted 16 May 2013 I am not posting this to start a rumour or gossip, but a fellow fox friend of mine who has close links to a couple of Victory players has told me Victory are looking at a couple of experienced championship midfielders to add a bit extra in midfield. One of the players they are looking at is out Richie Wellens, they are not in any position to pay a fee and do have a salary cap however are looking to offload Rojas to free up some cash. Now my mate has been a bit of a wind up merchant, but has been spot on with signings in the past also, just wondering if anyone in Leicester has also heard anything? You make it sound like we were trying to off load Rojas, we tried to keep him but he wanted to further his career and we got a compo payment of $115k. We are in a position to pay for players as our bank account from the last AGM is exteremly healthy, but Victory like most A-league clubs really buy players except for when we purchased Carlos Hernadez. In relation to the rumours, this is the first i've heard of it but i can't see Wellens as being a Posticoglu style of player. Ange likes a free flowing passing style game and tends to favour young quick players who are good passes and can take on there man. Not too sure Richie fits this bill, but who knows sometimes with Ange. Rojas is a great player, another Victory player I like the look off is Adama Traore, looks very useful! I did hear the Victory captain is a Leicester fan, not sure how true it actually is. Someone knows there Victory, Traore is a great player and in the coming months when he becomes naturalized he is a lock for an Australian squad. Can't say i've ever heard about Leijer being a Victory fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 Donny Rovers http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/story-19133329-detail/story.html?#axzz2UlCJrDJD Leicester City midfielder Richie Wellens could be set for a return to his former club Doncaster. The Mercury understands Rovers' new boss Paul Dickov is "very interested" in acquiring the services of the 33-year-old. The League One champions are looking to add experience to their squad ahead of next season's Championship survival campaign. Wellens has fallen out of favour at City, making just four appearances for them last season as well as being sent on a month-long loan stint to Ipswich as he recovered from a cruciate ligament injury. It is understood that preliminary discussions have already been made over a potential return to the Keepmoat Stadium for Wellens, but that Dickov is looking to spend as little as possible to do so. Wellens still has one year left on his contract and it is not yet known whether or not he will be released from it, or whether Doncaster would be expected to pay a fee to acquire him. Agreeing terms could also be a potential sticking point in the deal as Doncaster would not be able to match the wages that Wellens is currently on at City. But with Dickov so keen to get Wellens on board, and his future at City seemingly over, it looks like it could be a deal which suits both parties.

Ric Flair Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 Good, get rid of him. Michael Cain should be given the opportunity to challenge for a spot. I'm pinning all my hopes on him, like I always do with academy players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealingfox Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 Sounds like a good move for Richie and Donny to be honest, RW seems the kind of guy to take a bit of a wage cut in a situation like this too. I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for it. According to Donny's Rob Tanner Paul Goodwin â€@paulgoodwinDFP21m Talks well underway. Wages a potential problem - but Wellens has no future at Leicester and wants to play games after injury wrecked year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
