Bermuda striker Nahki Wells is again being linked with a move away from Bradford City during the January transfer window and I get the feeling something could happen this time, with Queens Park Rangers showing interest again, according to reports.

Nahki is 23 now and sooner or later he’s going to have to make a decision that is in his best interest. He should be careful about going to the wrong club and not being able to fulfil his dreams because that sort of thing happens.

If you’re playing and scoring goals at one club, then it could change at another club if you are not getting the type of service you are accustomed to. So there is a lot to take into consideration. I think he needs to go because he’s 23 and nowadays you have youngsters playing in a club’s first team at 17, 18 and 19. A footballer’s career is short as we already know.

I know there is some attachment to Bradford for him, as they gave him the opportunity after things didn’t work out at his first club, Carlisle. In a short time, he has become one of Bradford’s star players and the fans love him and will hate to see him go. It is a lot for him to think about.

I tell people that being a professional sportsman is like being a racehorse: as long as you are winning, they want you and when things are not going for you, you are out. Any decision he makes regarding a move could make or break his career.

I know the QPR manager, Harry Redknapp, very well from our playing days at West Ham and I know how Harry will treat him. Harry’s a good person and will make sure he gets looked after because if you are not happy where you are, it is going to be difficult. QPR are pushing for promotion in the Championship, so the next half of the season will be interesting for them.

It could be a good time for him to join a club like QPR. He will also take into consideration that he could be moving from up North to down South to London, which is a different place than what he is used to.

The January window will tell us who is going to be coming in for Nahki, when they start bidding and putting their money on the table. He has been quiet on the topic and that is the best way to be.

As a footballer, you have to be humble and not be boisterous, making a lot of noise about wanting to leave the club, because they can make it hard for you. Once you are under contract, you have an obligation to that club and they will decide if you go or not.

Playing in the Premier League will be a lot tougher, it will be “dog eat dog” and you could be taking somebody’s place. I think he has the ability and mentality, but he will find it is different from scoring 20 goals in League One and playing in the Premier League. At the end of the day, it has to be his decision because he is going to be the one to live with it.

Bradford face a tough match at home to Leyton Orient, who are leading the division. I know them well because they are in the same area as my former club, West Ham. I saw them play in the FA Cup on the telly the other day and they won 1-0, but if Bradford want to get promoted, they have to win their home games.

Manchester United suffered another home defeat, by Newcastle last weekend, and are not looking like league champions at all, as manager David Moyes goes through a different period, while the club he left, Everton, have climbed to fifth in the standings and could be in the top three after this weekend.

Roberto Martinez, the manager, wants his team to knock it around and play good football and I like managers who like to take a chance and knock the ball around. Give me teams who like to play and entertain the people; after all, that’s what the game is all about.

What I would like to tell the United fans is you have to take the rough with the smooth; you can’t expect to win all the time. Football moves in cycles and everybody has a turn.

United have been on top for a long, long time. Now is probably the time for them to rebuild and regroup and get the train back on the right track. They are not playing like Manchester United used to play under Alex Ferguson. As one football pundit pointed out, United have already dropped 23 points in the league, two fewer than the 25 they dropped in the whole of last season when they won the title.
