Sheffield Wednesday striker Atdhe Nuhiu has scored 47 goals for the club and a social media fan account has put together a compilation of each and every one of his goals for the Owls condensed down into just over two minutes.
Whilst we’re sure the post was created with the best of intentions, it appears some fans have seized the opportunity to criticise the 30-year-old.
Would you like to see Nuhiu leave at the end of the season?
Yes
No
An average of 6 goals a season with an average of 31 appearances a season deary me please let this be the last season we see him ?

Wish this was his goal return over the course of 2-3 years instead of 4-5. Impact player but sadly not done enough when starting. Too immobile for the Championship before 80 minutes

He averages 1 goal every 5.5 games. 261 games 47 goals

What do we think?
Nuhiu, who is valued at £450k (as per Transfermarkt), has never been a prolific goalscorer for Sheffield Wednesday and it appears some of the club’s supporters have grown frustrated by it over time. Although he’s not a regular starter these days, he’s only managed to contribute three goals this in 23 league appearances this season.
In the former Rapid Vienna forward, Garry Monk has somebody who perhaps offers something slightly different to Jordan Rhodes or Steven Fletcher, although his finishing is considered to be one of his weaker traits according to WhoScored, whereas Rhodes and Fletcher have proven to be more prolific when given the opportunity.
However, with Nuhiu’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, it’s entirely possible the Kosovan will be moving on at the end of this current campaign.
