Nakhi Wells for £3m

[West Acton]

Smalling came from non league to the prem and made it. Was Joe Hart not at a div 2 side before he signed for city

[Kevin Mcleod]

Could we keep it to strikers please, hardest place on the pitch cos you get judged every single game on goals.

[Nick]

I dont really think the history of who has and who hasn't made it matters as every single player is different.

If the player has got the ability he will make it at any level despite what division he is in.

Les Ferdinand, Ian wright , kevin Phillips , stan collymore . Our very own charlie started at Poole town . Just because nahki is currently playing lower league doesn't mean he's not or doesn't possess the potential to be a very decent striker

[Kevin Mcleod]

Ha ha. Everyone started at school level. We are talking moving two divisions in one swoop, not taking ten years to get there with experience and moving up. Dwight Gayle for example.

[Timmy the Doc]

Looks like another Troy Hewitt to me.

Hes scored nearly all his goals in the fourth tier of English football so it would be a real gamble to hope he could do anything in the EPL.

Should just get Adebayor - him and Remy would be the best strike partnership in the Premier League.

Yeah fair comment kevin . I'd like to see us take a punt on him but it's not the be all and end all .

Pak.......oh sorry, thought this was the word association thread.

Huge difference between the kind of player Holloway likes and what suits the Pullis Ball style though. He would probably look to get Crouch down there ahead of AJ perhaps?

Anyway, as we're all throwing our hats in the ring regarding Wells, from the bit of lower league football I've seen him play and the cup runs last year, I reckon he would be a great investment: so I'm in

Pullis will prob try and sign Chris Tremlett!!

[QPRDave]

Massive gamble. Can't think of many players being a success jumping 2 divisions.

I think he is a gamble too weare...but H has pulled off some good signings
