Iv'e only seen him live a couple of times so not really qualified to make a proper judgement. Really? He gives 100%? Nuhui doesn’t even look trim and fit to me this season. I personally don’t think they compare - other than Sibon couldn’t head a ball either. Sibon played in a bad team (a smoker, unprofessional type, I believe) but was a completely different class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Sibon would walk into our team today, one of the best players I've seen in a Wednesday shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw the thread he was my 1st thought.....Ellis copped some off the fans as being one dimensional and yet like nuhiu there was far more to him than what some perceived ....you didnt become regular under catterick by being crap and seen as nuhiu figures in every squad it seems you can't do it under joss either 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a lovely footballer. Idle and frustrating at times. But I don’t think we got the best out of him - he needed a top class side to ply his trade in. And, unfortunately we weren’t that whilst he was here. He wasn’t a worker. Another Cantona for me - in the right team. Yes, he was that good, mentally and football wise. I saw him at QPR away and he was superb - the “famous” Owen Morrison scored the winner that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with everything you say apart from idle always thought he put a shift in he was just on a different level to most of the squad at the time and most of they couldn't read him. Would like to see him with Joao and FF both definitely would blossom alongside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Keith, for all he had his detractors, managed 52 goals in 102 appearances 1955-64. That would be considered a very acceptable return today. However in his early years with The Owls, he was trying to compete with Roy Shiner who scored 93 goals in 153 games. Keith should be forever remembered for his hattrick in the 7-2 away defeat of Man U. The match was, of course, played on Wednesday (1st Feb 1961).

WatfordOwl Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I would say Sibon as well. At least for the first part of his stint with us. Remember him signing at the same time as De Bilde - £5m between the pair of them in fees and thinking we're in trouble this season. He improved however, and arguably stayed on at the club longer than was expected once we started our slide. Loved a night out as well did Gerald.

Not doubting what you are saying just going off what I've seen on here. I've only seen Nuhiu play once or twice, last time 4 years ago and Sibon maybe half a dozen times.

Rodger Wylde II Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 To even mention Sibon and Nuhiu in the same sentence makes me feel weird. One was a Bentley the other, a knackered old tractor. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised a top flight Club never came in for him, it would have suited his game (and attitude). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWLERTON GHOST Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 John Pearson for me .. 100% Wednesday Would "Take a Bullet" for the club. As @torryowl says in his post Atdhe must be doing something right in Jos's eyes . He's the modern day equivalent of Pearson difference being the Big Man takes "Verbal Bullets" instead of real ones .. Both were and are a credit to the club... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of Sibon's poor showing in his only season in The Premiership was down to Danny Wilson's uter incompetence ? He brought in Sibon to play him as targetman. And he did his best to try and turn him into one. Sibon been totally different type of striker did nothing to make Wilson rethink how to get. the best out of him.
