I could also have stayed at Luton Town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I considered a lot of factors. Sheffield Wednesday might be struggling but they are a big team with a lot of history. They have amazing fans and the level they are playing is bigger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been playing, yes, here and there, but a player obviously needs to be on the pitch consistently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what I put right up my mind before making my decision. I will be facing Championship competition and I guess it will be good for me. I know by the time the season comes to an end, I would have gained a lot in terms of the game itself and I will see what comes up thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut to be honest, I really needed this move and to be in the Championship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to salute Luton Town for the time I spent there. The team and staff have been tremendous and the supporters are incredible. I had a memorable time there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related Posts<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content -->&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n\t<!-- \n\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\">\n\t\t<span class=\"cat-links\">Posted in Local<\/span><span class=\"tags-links\">Tagged Marvelous Nakamba, Sheffield Wednesday<\/span>\t<\/footer>\n\n -->&#13;<br \/>\n    &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;\n<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Marvelous #Nakamba #reveals #reason #Sheffield #Wednesday #transfer #turning #offers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Marvelous Nakamba has revealed the reason behind his move to Sheffield Wednesday.
