Ben Nelson - loan to Oxford United - Official

[filbertway]

With all due respect to Nelson, he's got half a season's worth of games playing CB for Oxford. I wouldn't sell him as I think he does have potential be a Premier League quality CB with us. I can't imagine many clubs would see value in spending £20m+ on a CB with half a season of champ football to his name. (I know he was there a full season but missed half of it due to injury)

As I mentioned before the Oxford itk’s got wind that Chelsea wanted him.

 

I wonder if that rumour is so strong because they were aware of Chelsea scouts at their games? I hope that’s just fart in the wind

Percy article says Chelsea interested.

Can't Chelsea just **** off? Sick of them asset stripping us season after season.

Imagine where we’d be without their overpayments on deals ??!!!

100 million to you prawn sandwich munchers.

If Chelsea want to pay good money for him. 

[Spudulike]

This is being discussed at length in the transfer forum.

[coolhandfox]

Just don't see it unless they offer crazy money.

 

I think this season has been very sobering for the club, who probably thought they could bounce back up and say up with a squad of ex PL players.

 

I think we will see a real changing of the guard.

I would not go if I was him, in Leicester’s ear for a new contract and guaranteed football.

Look what it's done for KDHs career. Lost among two many top players and only getting fleeting appearances.

Ban should be very wary making such a move this year.

I definitely could see it, Nelson is class, looked like John Stones when he played last year. Swap deal for KDH? But how much is he on now?

But look at what staying here did for the rest. 
 

He’ll end the season with 30 appearances (admittedly 12 in the league) and most likely a European trophy in which he’s featured in every game

First name on the teamsheet, filthy promotion bonus and guarantees that we won't stand in his way next year if we don't go up.
