    I suggest you look up his playing career. He's a proven Championship striker and has succeeded without James Hanson next to him.

    Scored the winning penalty in the shoot out against Charlton in the Checkatrade tonight, what's that saying, "form is temporary, etc.":)

    What a load of rubbish. It's this sort of nonsense that brings the Hanson bashers out, instead of just respecting his contribution, having to make something up to make him sound even better than he was.

    Wells was the 3rd highest goal scorer in the championship in 15/16 in a relegation threatened team, without his goals they would have come down, which would have meant no Wagner and no Premier League. If that's not enough he got into double figures in their promotion season, playing a lot more on rotation with Kerchunga, having to play lone striker and playing a high pressing game. in his first full season there he also got into double figures in a relegation threatened team. The reason he did nothing at Burnley is because he had surgery only weeks after joining.

    But lets just pretend he only did anything because of Hanson: unamused:.

    Good on him.

    41 games is pushing the "form" excuse a little far though :joy::joy:

    Have to agree, was never one to get into the Hanson debate on C & B, will always class him as a legend for his time here, but felt like it was time for him to move on a bit like Alistair Cook. His move to Sheff Utd was good for all parties. However when people like that dismiss others achievements and put them down too him, it's a bit ott.

    Cook should have retired a year or two ago as he's averaging about 15 over the last year, like Hanson should have gone to Millwall 18 months before as his goals more or less dried up. I can see the similarities.

    I thought from the references to Sheff U and moving up was your point, thanks for the clarification, I'll work on my mind reading skills. :)

    I'm not even sure he's at that level now but he was definitely better than that for a couple of years with us.

    Is now, or was? You do realise that writing "fact" after you state an opinion on a discussion board doesn't then automatically make it a fact.
