Richie Wellens

[Andyregs]

Give him time, they took quite a while to reach their peak and at a similar point in their careers there wouldn`t be much in it.

 

I'd argue differently, but still, it means that currently he cant be compared to any of our great midfielders yet, not just Earle or walker. The likes of Taylor, Earle, walker, van der laan played two/three levels higher as well.

This can't be true. No way..... Can it? Lol!

[valeparklife]

This is obviously a wind up. Will never happen.

[fraggle]

Regardless if true or not how many debates are we having on this site about being linked with players!!!! I've lost count... It must be more than we ever discussed even if you added up the last 5 seasons!!

 

The joy of being a Vale fan at present!!!

[MattW]

Why would he come to us??

 

Quote He went for 1.2 mil, so will be on about 10k a week?

 

 

Hughes was on 10k a week at Notts County. He is here

 

Never in a million years was Hughes on 10k a week!!!!!

[vale in the blood]

Exactly mate.

Great to be debating players and the team.

Great times.

Never in a million years was Hughes on 10k a week!!!!!

 

yes he was

[soothsayer]

Im sure He scored from halfway against us once for blackpool, although I could be completely wrong!!

 

Yes he did as I was in with the home fans as we'd sold all our tickets. Johnny Brain did a great superman impression as I recall. I think Billy Painter gave us the lead but we ended up losing 1-2.

I think I got thrown out of this game? Too many sherberts in the Manchester, not one of my proudest moments as a football fan!

Now this would be a signing. Hope it is true.

[Mcphee4Scotland]

Well Notts County were paying Kasper Schmeichel £18k per week at the height of their crazyness so it's not too unrealistcic to believe they were paying Hughes £10k per week.

 

Back onto the topic. I remember Wellens mainly during his Blackpool days when both us and them were in League One. Was a class act for that level and I think he also played for Oldham aswell before he went to Leicester?

 

Would be one hell of a coup if we brought him in.

Yes it would be to unrealistic

[werstayinup]

I would wee if this was true.

 

I think i would do far more than wee IF we were to sign Wellens and Dickinson.

Sex wee?

[ethan and archies dad]

Yes it would be to unrealistic

 

no it wouldnt. He was signed by Sven at the same time as Campbell, Schmeichel and other big names.

 

But perhaps more importantly he announced this in person to a group of us on a stag do in Magulaf in 2009. I understand pictures of him are on the Stoke twitter account on a bucking bronco in a Stoke shirt taken at said stag do. Believe it or not I am repeating why Hughes claimed himself
