Big Ben? That rings a bell

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Started in Leicester’s 3-1 friendly win over Peterboro yesterday.

He will start and play for them this season. He’s prem quality. Absolutely unbelievable player

I can see no likely situation in which Nelson will turn out for us this season. He will either play for Leicester, or possibly sign for a Prem club and be loaned back to Leicester for a year.

Yep. One of the best decisions GR took was keeping him in the squad even though he was out to March.

I am confusion. That’s what I said

Yep - was agreeing with you.

It happens,.

Raises the fact that if Moore is our 3rd CB we're fucked.

What? Very few 3rd centre backs in our bracket are better than Moore

Why's that then?

Why's that then?

Just ignore him. He has a blind spot when it comes to Elliott Moore

 

[West Oxon U’s]

 

[HillBilly]

Transfermarkt has Nelson's current market value at 500,000 Euro!

(That's the same as they have for Elliot Moore).

Guessing they might've got it literally 1000% wrong...

 

[Essexyellows]

Local rumour is he`s going to be out for a while.
Landed badly on his ankle against Norwich and it was "like a balloon" according to a club official.

Maybe they've just inflated it for the press

Sounds like a load of hot air to me

Thank you Ben . OG

Nelson out for the rest of the season with a thigh injury - wouldn't mind putting in a cheeky bid for him in the summer if Leicester go down

...and we stay up?

 

[Big Ronaldo]

Wouldn’t mind seeing him here next season.

Of any loanee we have seen bar Lankshear he is the one I want the most. Perhaps also the 2nd least likely to join. If only we stayed up we may have been able to see it

I think we saw the best of him when he was here.
