clud17 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 The problem with a lot of fans is they want everyone striker to return 20+ goals a season. They dont see the wider picture and focus on the goals and misses. For me the big man has a lot of value especially in games like yesterday. If you look at his role in some of our goals this season he has played crucial passes at some stage in the build up or held the ball up to enable the rest of our slow paced and sometimes reluctant team to get forward. Granted he does not get far off the ground for a big lad but he gets a raw deal from ref's most of the time because of his size but with the ball at his feet he is capable of turning a player to get some space.

If you analyse the game time he has had so far under SB, it is unlikely to be a big part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A E Neuman NYowl Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Don't think he is good enough to lead the line every week, but he is the perfect sub as he is changes the dynamic of the attack when coming on as sub. Would rather see Atdhe coming off the bench, than Rhodes or Winnal which is where they will be if they stay next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Attey offers more than Rhodes and winnal simply because he has a different role to play than them. There’s two players I’d sooner see and try and generate money for than big attey leave us a pool of strikers in fletcher joao forestieri nuihiu hooper? new? I think if we want to freshen up that department we will hooper leave just because of how many strikers we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 A massive cult figure and my favourite player. An absolute hero in my kids eyes as well. He is unique in this league and I would get rid of at least 3 quarters of the squad before him. There is no better goal than one from the big man. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just brings something different. Can you imagine what what it is like for a centre half who is tiring towards the end of a game, suddenly facing the prospect of having to wrestle with a fresh off the bench striker who is as big and as strong as Nuhiu. plus the guy is a team player who is always the first to celebrate, even if he is on the bench. There are no egos, just an honest big guy who wants the best for his team mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I think there's every chance Forrestieri, Winnall, Joao, Rhodes and even Fletcher could be offloaded before Nuhiu? I don't see him starting many games but as he showed yesterday he can be very useful coming off the bench. As I've said before he's one of those players that you won't know what you've got until he's no longer here. Think Semedo and JJ, not world beaters by any means but players who were a part of the fabric of the club for a while and in truth the place hasn't been quite the same since they have left.

SallyCinnamon Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) Not good enough, time to move on. This club and the fans have a real issue with sentiment and keeping players. It’s as if we think if you sell Atdhe, it would be impossible to replace him. It really won’t, he can change a game but he offers nowhere near enough over a season.

McRightSide Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 To be fair to him, his finishing has really improved in the last couple of years. Part of the problem this season is that he hasn’t had enough chances to miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowyowl61 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Atdhe Nuhiu is one of the most committed players we have seen in a Wednesday shirt EVER and is severely undervalued by many. Long may he be connected to the club, in whatever capacity. His enthusiasm is priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wants to play lovely, open, attacking football but sometimes you just put it into the box and ask the big man to get on the end of it.” Who's badly photoshopped the ball onto the photo? The ball was in the net at this point Edited April 28, 2019 by sharrowowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This like semedo I bet he’s a great bloke to have around and lifts everyone going into work non match days he won’t be expensive, he is a great pro never injured and offers something if attey is contributing to 10 goals a year in his bit role from the bench he’s a keeper all day very unique and helps us how many goals and assists has he got this year 1 each on Saturday I bet he’s not far off the 10 contribution and in the main he’s there to see us the games out not win us them hes different to anything else we have and is above winnal and Rhodes in the pecking order for me he’s one of those strikers that will probably play pushing 40 too because he’s got no pace to lose and doesn’t rely on sprinting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryswan Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 His goals last season got us out of the relegation scrap,and the one he scored V Norwich pours scorn on those that say hes got no skill or hes just a big lump you lump the ball to. And hes rarely in the treatment room,unlike a few of our other strikers that will be earning a fair wedge more than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookieisdown Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Must admit he wouldn't generally be my preference to come on when we are chasing the game, but he obviously did really well in the role yesterday, so what do I know. He is the player I like to see come on when there's 20' left and we're one or two up. He must be one of the best real bargain basement signings of recent years. The Austrian league to the championship? A massive leap all those years ago. He is a sellable asset: most championship clubs would be able to use him. Overall I would hope we are able to keep him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
