What are the chances of you keeping the 4 or centre backs that are ahead of Nelson next season?no disrespect intended. We will have a lot of work to do and will be desperate to get back up. Depending on who we end up with in charge, it may be another case of us signing established pros that will block the route for some of the youngsters.
There’s already a crop that are too good for league 1, so we will need to make space for them or find a good club that we hope won’t be a rival at the top end.
However, If we start the season with the likes of Ayew and Decordova-Reid I’d advise you all to bet on yourselves finishing above us
Luke Foster being mentioned in the same sentence as Ben Nelson was not on my bingo card!I always thought looking back on our centre half’s, Luke Foster was an absolute class act and way too good for conference level, we’ve had many over the years but Nelson is by far the finished product, absolute class act and a natural, be amazing if we could somehow get him but doubt it.

Nelson or Foster?I reckon he could play for England if he carries on developing/improving. Makes the game look easy.
I don't think that's fair on Curtis Nelson!!Crazy really just how much we’ve been spoilt as a fanbase when it comes to the centre halves we’ve been able to watch since rejoining the EFL.
We’re lucky to witness the likes of Nelson, Duberry, Foster and Allardyce pulling on a yellow shirt.
Well the fans may have very different views to our the incompetent people running our club.What are the chances of you keeping the 4 or centre backs that are ahead of Nelson next season?
Your owners would be insane to sell him for £20m. If that’s Brighton they’d be brave enough to hold him, give him minutes and get upwards of £60m for him in a year or two. He’s an England prospect and a good one at that - his value will sky-rocket if he kicks on.Well the fans may have very different views to our the incompetent people running our club.
The logical move for us would be for us to have Nelson, Okoli and Souttar as the options next season. But we’re going to struggle to get rid of vestergaarde, coady and faes.
Our fans worries are that any of those 3 stick around and get selected next season.

I think playing for Leicester would be great for him and I don’t think he’d do your promotion chances any harm whatsoever. If anything it would bring a freshness to what looks a very stale squad. You’ve got a couple of other youngsters that I gather are emerging too and could be involved more now you’ve come down. I’d love that as a fan and would help me offset the disappointment of relegation.
You say that... But Luke Foster himself wasn't exactly perfect. He was recently sent to prison for running a cannabis factory - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/rebekah-vardy-partner-luke-foster-jailed-cannabis-b2533881.htmlBet Nelson doesn’t get a mental case pregnant who goes on to cause a national scandal though, Foster has him beaten in that respect.
I remember the fuss we all made when Wilder replaced Foster with Jake Wright though, how wrong we were then, Wright was far superior as their respective careers went on to prove.
Sucks to be them. Do they need a new CEO?Might have to sell the youngsters because of the financial rules, they are in the bad books because of that sleight of hand they pulled to get away with it last year.
You really should keep Nelson if you can.Well the fans may have very different views to our the incompetent people running our club.

agree - heres hoping the powers that be agree tooThat's very classy from Ben. Most players do a 'goodbye and thank you' post, but that is one of the best I've read.
Classy post from a classy player. I'd break the bank to get him back.
He's a real top level prospect - can't say I ever agreed with the hyperbole around Beadle as an England prospect, he may be young but he has a long way to go to be anywhere near that level. Nelson, however, looks to have all the potential in the world.I reckon he could play for England if he carries on developing/improving. Makes the game look easy.
Upwards of £60m is a crazy amount, especially when you think Botman cost £35m and Guehi is being linked with a £40m transferYour owners would be insane to sell him for £20m.

Well, depends on the examples.Upwards of £60m is a crazy amount, especially when you think Botman cost £35m and Guehi is being linked with a £40m transfer
