Current Player Back four contracts
- Thread starter thegrumpyporter
- Start date
Talking to Plymouth fans before the recent game, they reckoned we got a cracking player in Nelson and they would love him back. Reality is ‘ money talks and if an offer comes in from the championship he might well go.
Our form has improved so much but still anchored in the bottom four. Even if we win on Saturday we might well be seven games unbeaten, having conceded only three goals away, kept numerous clean sheets, and scoring plenty of goals.
Gavin Whyte is coming across as a very good player. Smith and Branagan at last showing what they can do. Browne is looking a much better player too. Eastwood returning was a godsend.
Ricky Holmes frightens defences too.
I just hope we can keep all these players on board

It all depends on the offer we get for Nelson in January I wouldn’t sell for anything less than £500k+ as we have a sell on fee to give to Plymouth as part of the tribunal case back in 2016 so i’d rather keep someone who’s going to vital for the rest of the season than get a couple of hundred grand
Raglan a decent back up but never gets a look in as they switch Mousinho into CB position if anything ever happens to Nel or Dickie so I expect him to move on
(So possibly 2 centre backs gone by January)
Long don’t see him fitting in to the team imo & I hear people say he never lets you down but the two game he played against Manchester City & Wimbledon the we’re 3 goals which we conceded from he could of done a lot better from (& I know it was Man City what do you expect before anyone mentions)
Mousinho is never a good enough centreback yet he’s played 50+ games for us there in that position since playing in midfield in front of the back four he’s been excellent if we keep him it’s has to be for that position where he’s played most of his career
Add Left back to come in January as Garbutt got no consistency to stay in the team a make shift left back is out performing over the last half a dozen games

With Nelson, it all depends on if the club believe they have a replacement they can get in January. You'd be a fool to turn down money that you can use to help do other business, even if Plymouth have a piece of the pie.
I wouldn't be sad to see Raglan or Long go - both ok players but I don't think they are what we really need long term.

Could always recall Kelleher in January and give him an opportunity to show whether he can play at League 1 standard. Unfortunately I think our dire start to the season will scupper this as we are clearly nowhere near settled in the league; it was only points gained in the first half of last season that gave Robinson any foundation to organise an escape route last time round.
Nelson will be off in the new year if a club is willing to pay for him now. Any money for a player has been open by telling the club he won’t be signing a new contract is a bonus.
The likely option is that Nelson will see the season out here but sign a pre contract with a new club in the new year and in turn will get a bumper signing on fee due to the club he is signing for not needing to fork out money to pay us.

How does Nelson wanting to better himself mean the club has regressed.
As with Ledson, Roofe, Rothwell, Nelson and Brannagan they use a club like ours as a stepping stone to move up to a bigger club/higher league.
It’s better if we appreciate the fact we have the in the first place rather than to use it as a stick to beat the club with.
