Raw Dykes Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 Even if we have to chip in with his wages a bit, it'll be a lot better than paying off the rest of his contract outright. Hope this deal happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indierich06 Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 Good signing for them, probably still has something to offer for a struggling Championship side and it gets his wages off our books - would be a good deal all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobHawk Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 At his age as well he may be better off getting a reduced 3 year contract than seeing out his current one and potentially being forced into retirement next year if nobody wants him! Would Dickov like Beckford, Danns and Gally as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealingfox Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 Bring through a defender, midfielder and forward from the Academy next season, or at least try to. Sesay, Cain and Panayiotou good candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpaM Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 Doncaster would be a good move for him. At least he'd be playing. You watch them go straight up now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicesterAreGoingUp 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. isn't he a striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 fair enough, i'm sure he was a striker though .... No, he plays either centrally or wide right. Panayiouto is a striker/winger and both have a big chance of breaking through this season coming in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dames Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 No, he plays either centrally or wide right.

Ric Flair Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 Can't imagine we will be paying up his contract to release him. He might be available on a free to people who want him though. Agreed, which will be worth a good £750,000 saving to us as he's not worth much of a transfer fee anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we'll have to stump up half his wages as well, but better off the books if he's not even going to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 Been a good player, and a solid enough midfielder for us. Shame that he is getting older and his legs arn't as good as they were (he never had great pace anyway), but his ability to pick a pass is still good... Would be a good signing for a side around the bottom end/mid table of the Championship, like Doncaster. Just need to get rid of Gallagher, Waghorn and Beckford amongst others now.

Happy Fox Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 Waghorn is out of contract, he will be gone. Logan should as well but we need a back up keeper and he provides that with the minimal fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 30 May 2013 Share Posted 30 May 2013 If Logan had any pride he'd want to go to a team where he'd be a regular starter, even if it meant dropping down a couple of divisions. We can always promote another youth teamer for back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can always promote another youth teamer for back up. I doubt that Logan is bothered about playing to be honest. Seems to be quite content to just sit on the bench and pick up a wage.

OzFox Posted 31 May 2013 Share Posted 31 May 2013 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. Spot on there. Can you imagine Wellens plonked in the middle of that speedy, free flowing Brisbane midfield that Ange put together a couple of years back? Makes me laugh just thinking about it. Having said that, I'd love to see Wellens out here. He's Leicester, was a good player in his day and his post match comments are usually good value. Watching him cope with del Piero would be interesting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 8 June 2013 Share Posted 8 June 2013 http://www.thornegazette.co.uk/sport/local-sport/doncaster-rovers-wellens-type-is-right-for-us-says-dickov-1-5750460 Paul Dickov says rumoured target Richie Wellens is ‘the calibre of player’ he wants to sign for Doncaster Rovers. Former Rovers midfielder Wellens has been tipped for a return to the Keepmoat after effectively being frozen out by current club Leicester City. The latter part of Dickov’s time at Leicester as a player overlapped Wellens’ first few months at the club following his 2009 switch from Rovers. While refusing to be drawn on the identity of individual transfer targets, Dickov admitted his admiration for Wellens. And in discussing the 33-year-old, Dickov seemed to suggest he had been keeping an eye on his contract situation. “Richie Wellens is a player I know really well – I’ve known him for a long time,†Dickov said. “He’s still under contract at Leicester. “A release went out saying Richie and six other players had been released but they are still under contracts they need to sort out themselves. “One thing I will say is Richie is the calibre and type of footballer we want to bring in to this football club.†Wellens is said to be keen on a return to the Keepmoat and it has been suggested Dickov has already sounded him out about a return. He made just four appearances for the Foxes last season and enjoyed a month’s loan at Ipswich as he recovered from a cruciate ligament injury.
