Adthe has been an average of about our 4th choice striker in his time here. So I would love to hear who we are going to acquire , and in fact who the first three choice strikers will be next season. If people think we are going to sign 4 strikers better than Adthe Nuhiu this summer then I too want a toot of that crack pipe being smoked .

Well, if that doesn't prove he's no good at this level, I don't know what does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several years of service and he has more than contributed, irrespective of what the naysayers will claim. 50 goals is a decent haul and it is worth remembering that he pretty much kept us up a few years back under Jos. I'll miss him, though perhaps now is the time for us to break free from the old guard and really put together a new team. Still - I suspect there might be a few games next season where we will be thinking "what if we had the big man available?" Also worth pointing out that he signed a new, short term deal in order to help the club in these last few months, whilst other, more lauded players told us to F off and moved on. Last part hasn’t been spoken about enough. Him and Lee stayed on to help out and others jumped ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all of that. We do definitely need a "big man" option signed this summer, or we will regret him leaving for sure. Another thing overlooked is his fitness record. When was he ever injured during his long time here? Is that why we are getting rid of him?? Seeing him leave and the likes of Rhodes staying makes me feel a bit sick in my stomach. And that's based on contribution, before we even consider the huge transfer fees/wages difference. But it appears it was Adthe's choice, so I wish the big man all the best.

0wl18 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 We’ll definitely miss what he brings to the game. Offered something off of the bench, big presence who worked his socks off. By no means someone who should be starting but, more than good enough to stay around the squad. Considering we could be in league 1 next season, we may kick ourselves not keeping him.

In that time he's scored 21 goals and assisted another 10. So that's essentially 16 games per season. 7 goals per season and 3 assists per season. If the stats are accurate of course. I wish Atdhe well. I think we can do better. Will we do better? That's an entirely different question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A goal every 205 minutes for a 3rd choice striker who’s game isn’t built around goal scoring? Doesn’t sound like a bad player to me. Out of interest, who would you you go for who, you feel is better?

For the love of God Monk, do the right thing and EFF OFF!! Yeah gutted he let FF go. It was great seeing him skipping on Instagram in his Wednesday gear for over £1million a year. Look at our CM options over the last few games. Had Pelupessy left we would have had the likes of reach in there or Hunt being thrown in and having to play 90 minutes every game. He is a cheap backup who is always fit and at an age where we could sell him back to a club in Europe and not lose money. Personally I think he was resigned just to see us through the post covid period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble is, those stats are aggregated over 3 seasons. But yes, taken in isolation, over the 3 seasons and appearance/goals stats, it doesn't look bad.
