Maybe I’m being a bit dim and misunderstanding this deal that DE has agreed with Tiger but it concerns me that big money assets could be encouraged to leave the club if DE wants the outstanding money owed to him as soon as possible
Class player. Hope you are right about the first part of the second paragraph but not the second
Nelson isn't a big money asset, no one is paying money for a centre back with a ruptured achilles, on the last year of his deal too
Got a year extension option that the club can use if they want.
would be huge, my only worry with this is, with him being back this season we're be more likely to lose him in the summer because he's fit again. Teams wouldn't chance it on a player who hadn't played in 8 months. It's about now though and we do need him, we've missed his strides out of defence because when Mousinho does it, it tends to go wrong.
Ummm. Wasn’t Curtis’ piece (steady!) in the programme actually called Nelson’s Column?Idea for the match day programme.
A new feature which covers views from across the middle of our defence. Call it Nelson’s Column and Dickie’s Post.
Centre-page spread.
Nelson was calm and assured. Alongside Dickie they look a good CB partnership.
Given that Robinson rested the likes of Lego, Henry, Rothwell and anything we have that resembles a striker last night to save them for Donny I'd assume he's confident that Nelson can play again Saturday. I'd certainly hope so, that would give us a solid base that we've lacked most the season.
What about attacking though??
The good news is that we won't be playing against Wigan again.
