Jim Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I wouldn't be against him coming back but I doubt he will be fit enough to start as many games as we'll need him to plus he'll probably want a 2 year contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Thome Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 5 hours ago, dorian gray said: IF he is the answer... i'd love to know what the question was? The question is - who do we bring on at the end of a game when we get desperate and plan to lump long balls into the box? (Or are defending a 1 goal lead and need to fire desperate long balls forward to a lone striker). Yes, it's not pretty, yes, it's not even effective half the time, but pretty much every squad in the league has someone to do this and there are certain teams - e.g. Fulham last season, where it was the only way we could unsettle them. The answer clearly isn't Rhodes, and I don't think the answer will be Chris Martin or Rudy Gestede on 30k a week. So if Nuhiu is willing to take the right type of contract for a squad player then why not? The alternative (my preference) would have been to find a new player, probably from the continent, to come in on lowish wages and do this role - but that would be a risk, and it seems as the season has already started and we haven't brought anyone in that we weren't capable of finding the suitable quality. And it might be an even bigger risk to go for a van Aken style 200th on the list out of desperation. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is, We have 1 striker who the manager does not rate, hardly ever scores and his all round contribution is poor. It doesn't look as though the club have been successful in being able to attract a striker before the league campaign starts next week. Is there a player available who knows the club, scored more goals last season than any other player we have and will occupy defenders and give us the opportunity to play higher up the pitch than any player we currently have? Nuhiu is the answer to that question and will undoubtedly improve our current squad. Or we could carry on for the next month without a focal point and see if the club have any more success than they have had in the last month in bringing in a striker as they get more desperate towards the end of the transfer window.

TINGLE75 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Is this seriously our only option? Bringing in a player that has had many chances in the past. Of course it all depends on wages we are willing to pay but someone like Leon Clarke would be a better option. Despite recent history with United.

Nuhiu scored more last season than any player on our books right now. Windass and Kachunga might be effective in forward roles in some games but won't regularly offer a focal point or enable us to play further up field. We need 2 more strikers, in the absence of anyone else as things stand, Nuhiu would be worth having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just frustration that we've not signed a centre-forward yet. We will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think we need 2 as well and ideally we would get them in soon given that on Saturday we will start 12 points behind everyone, the longer we don't have a striker the more unlikely it is that we will make inroads into clawing those points back.

cowl Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Even if Nuhiu were to return there seems to be a fear that he's all of a sudden going to become our regular plan A. He was here for 7 years and that was very rarely the case for any significant run of games. Whatever Monk's master plan is needn't be threatened (assuming the budget allows) by bringing Nuhiu back for a year should we need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno. I'd like Davis or Bonne, but we rarely end up signing who I want. When has DC ever not signed players for us? Every year we end up with a bloated squad, so I'm sure he'll bring in a centre-forward or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just before his contract renewal. Disappeared straight after. Guess if we get him back we know what he is-reliable in terms of injuries but limited in terms of core attributes-skill, speed and scoring ability.
