Mid Wicket Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 There has to be something in all the rumours about Winnall being bad for dressing room harmony, could be the reason we cant move him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do remember Laws on the wireless last season saying he got on great with him but that he could be a handful in the dressing room.

Nuhiu came on - scored - and effected the game to the extent we scored 3 of our 4 goals with him on the pitch. And we can counter with at least a dozen times Nuhiu's come in in the 2nd and done the square root of fizz all . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People forget that Nuhiu actually got 14 goals less than 2 seasons ago. For me he’s much more useful in both boxes off the bench than either Rhodes or Winnall!

That's the one area we should have strengthened in the summer but didn't. I suppose we needed to move 1 or 2 out but if nobody wants them we're stuck with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose we needed to move 1 or 2 out but if nobody wants them we're stuck with them Definitely I think Rhodes and Nuhiu have had their day which is why selling Joao was hard to take. He is still young and scores goals yet we moved him on without replacing him. Harris is a winger so he wasn't a direct replacement. To be honest I expected a bigger shake up over the summer. I expected more in's and more out's. The players we did sign have improved the squad but we are still lacking upfront which is why leaving Winnall out in the cold is frustrating. Our lack of goals this season is going to cost us as I think defensively we are much stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i'll get laughed at but I wouldn't have accepted anything less than £10 for him though I realise we had little option due to FFP. Madine went to Cardiff for £8m, McBurnie to the Pigs for £15m so when you consider what other strikers have gone for I think we sold him on the cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adem Poric Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Winnall isn't a very good footballer. That's why he doesn't get picked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl84 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Makes me laugh when people keep going on about Winnall has anyone watched him in U23s? He’s far from the player he was before his injury in-fact he’s no where near the level that he was. He struggles to run never mind anything else.

Yes we got rid of Hooper( arguably the best one) because his contract was up and then sold Joao, someone who I suspect we wanted to keep. We still have 5 so there’s no way we could bring one more in. There will be massive change in this area next summer with Fletcher, Forestieri, Nuhiu and Winnall all out of contract. At least 3 of those 4 are likely to leave.
