Ameobi in on going talks with the club

WANDERERS are looking to act quickly after missing out on full-back Jon Flanagan to Rangers.
Phil Parkinson had hoped to speak with the former Liverpool and England defender, who spent three months on loan at the Macron Stadium last season.
A move to Rangers had been mooted from the moment Flanagan was released at Anfield, given Reds legend Steven Gerrard has just taken over the manager’s hotseat at Ibrox.
But Wanderers kept a watching brief on the 25-year-old’s situation in case they got the opportunity to bring him back on a permanent basis.

Now that Flanagan has signed a two-year deal in Glasgow, Parkinson is understood to be in a good position to move on a different defensive target.
The Wanderes boss is keen to step-up his transfer business next week when key staff will be back in the building after holidays.
The going has been relatively slow thus far with two new signings announced - Jason Lowe and Erhun Oztumer - but sources at the Macron insist there has been plenty of work going on behind the scenes to progress deals, with more signings in the offing.
Furthermore there have been firm denials on some of the names who have been linked with moves to the Macron in the last couple of days, including Barnsley striker Tom Bradshaw and Peterborough United captain Jack Baldwin.

Around a dozen senior players will return for fitness testing at the start of next week, with trialists also expected once training gets into full swing.
One of the players who has been offered a chance to come into Lostock and prove his fitness is former Republic of Ireland international midfielder Stephen Ireland. But reports suggest one of the 31-year-old’s former clubs, Aston Villa, could also have offered him a similar opportunity after leaving Stoke City.
It also remains to be seen whether Sammy Ameobi rejoins the squad next week after talks continued yesterday between Wanderers and the 26-year-old winger’s representatives.

So glad we didn't sign Twatface, I'd be amazed if we were ever interested seeing as he was absolute bobbins for us.

bobbins?  How sweet!

I hope Ameobi signs a deal for us. He may not be a world beater but I think he's decent enough and will do a good job for pretty much any Championship club.

Once every 7 or 8 games, yes. Hence why he's never held down a place at a good Championship club.

If we want to progress we need players who are more consistent. I agree Ameobi is fantastic on his day, but his day isn't often enough.

Mark the time and date Nat because by and large I actually agree with you. However I would say that our midfield didn't exactly provide stellar service last season and I think if we can get at least one good winger we'll see more, possibly much more from Ameobi. In some ways he strikes (pun intended) me as an old fashioned target man. Get the ball into the box and he will finish, that's my opinion at any rate. Whether or not he'll finish enough is obviously going to be a matter of personal opinion but given our financial state and how good he can be I think he's worth another year.
