I'm not "categorically" stating that any of them are on less than Lee. I was saying they could be, and I reckon Woods and swift probably are. I've just look at woods stats, and I'm not talking utter nonsense. He is a championship ever present for the last 5 years. Debate by all means, but cut out the aggressive words and comments, they're not welcome. You categorically stated Swift, Clucas and Woods as better and cheaper, not could be cheaper. Woods has played 53 of the last 96 Championship games in the past two seasons. Your argument has feet of clay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Lee can’t possibly be expected to play more than 2000 minutes - ie less than 1/2 the season. That means we need to buy or loan someone his equal. 2 x Lee = £30kpw I’d rather we spend £30kpw on ONE younger, healthier player who is likely to play 40/46 games.

All those 3 players in my opinion are better and probably all 3 cheaper. Of course, we can't objectively be sure as we don't know their salaries. Thanks for the constructive feedback though, appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Rimmer Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 If we signed Nuhiu I am going to bump the Nuhiu thread and quote everyone that was 'sad' to see him go that said he 'worked hard' and point out they have themselves to blame for tempting fate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er, well yes. I’m rather hoping there is one, because unless the manager has sold one to the chairman, surely he would have been sacked by now, on results alone.

Cant you see that Rhodes cant play as a lone striker role?..Personally i wouldn't play him at all,but under the present circumstances & Monks likely 3/5/2,in the absence of signing another reliable front man,Dave & JR might be as good as it gets....This season is about avoiding relegation form in the first 23,& trying for a late play off push,in the second. OR it could be a season long battle against relegation,and a push for lower mid table obscurity...I personally think its a 5 Season job,to turn this Club around for a push for promotion.

Nuhiu can't play the lone striker role he is totally abysmal at it and puts us under more pressure as he is incapable of holding the ball up. Been tried countless times, failed at it almost everyone. He has been a faithful servant I can't deny that but needs to be moved on along with KL. If he was on the £14k a week that has been mentioned on here I'm afraid he has stolen a wage for the past 7 years along with countless others in the squad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) I thought someone said Nuhiu was going to Holland or Belgium? We need to move him on imo. Edited August 7, 2020 by WalthamOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he's stole a wage though, I'm certainly no fan, but to his credit, always been prepared to play and put the effort in. The problem is he's paid as a professional althlete/sportsman, but cant run. He can be mildly effective half a dozen times a year putting him in the box to bounce balls off late on, but time to move on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a huge difference when he came on against Fulham in our penultimate game for example. Pity about the defence though! He is what he is, can be very bad, very good but mostly a handy sub for the last 20 minutes both defensively and to ruffle the feathers of tiring defenders. His attitude and popularity in the squad are bonuses. Given that we have limited time to bring our numbers up to par; both he and Lee are keeps for me subject to sensible terms. If you are using examples of the difference he makes as "we didnt lose by as many as we were" then you are surely showing why we need better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite. What is this obsession on owlstalk about claiming all our players are stealing a wage. It seems to be thrown around constantly, even at those who always give their all and try their best. Sure we all know Nuhiu has his limitations but to my knowledge hes never been anything but professional and always gives 100%. It the club see fit to keep giving him contracts they clearly think hes worth the money. Hes certainly not stealing a wage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another striker will come in hopefully,maybe even CW ,who would be my choice.It is unrealistic however to think we can go through a season with only 2 available strikers,so on that basis Dave would be a useful fallback.
