Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

Not at the beginning, there was potential there.

Yeah, and good old Lambert coached it out of him. 

[Steve67]

Seems like Brentford and Celtic are almost begging teams to sign Benrahma and Edouard off them now, after saying they would not sell for about 30M and 40M respectively earlier in the transfer window.

I reckon you're right.  I think some very, very late business will be done.  Buendia, Eduoard, Benrahma, Rashica, Sarr, all to find new clubs.

Could be the new Martin Larson. Only 21, worth a pop if true

Victor Enok Nelsson (born 14 October 1998) is a Danish footballer who plays as a centre back and is the fifth captain for FC Copenhagen. Fifth captain. Yikes.

No idea how reliable, but linked with a €10M move for FC Kobenhavn CB Victor Nelsson. Apparently have liked him since before Lange arrived, but now we have Lange it would put us in prime position to get him.

Only joined Kobenhavn last year, but they need the money.

Lange signed him for FCK, so must be fully aware of his character and ability

At €10m and aged 21 he fits the profile of our target player in terms of price, age and potential.

Started out as a midfielder, but moved to centre back so he should be comfortable on the ball. He's 22 in October and has already made 150+ appearances, so quite experienced.

If we do sign him, then that would probably propel Engels nearer to the exit door.

Ask yourselves - how good was our last blond Danish centre half?

Could Nelsson be another?

I don't think having a player called Enok would go down well with some sections of our support.

[maidstonevillain]

Whilst not against RLC I think RB would be better, If only for the experience. At the minute, after Elmo, Jack is our most experienced player I think.

Taylor has had 7 seasons playing in the Premier League.

[rougegorge]

Nelsson is at the backbone of their team and Copenhagen did well last season in the Europa League.

A decent profile and he could be useful as a first team squad addition.

Hopefully just because he's a Danish defender doesn't mean we would be comparing him with either Laursen or Okore.

[SaddVillan]

Re the fact that Nelsson's middle name is Enok.

One of Okore's is Charlemagne.

Bertie's is Isidore, maybe he thought he was joining Sevilla instead.

[Gareth]

We need a 4th centre half if assume Engels may well be sold if Smith doesn’t rate him before the deadline....one that is highly rated been scouted/monitored is good.

[Border villan]

Brewsters millions.

Well disguised reference to 1980’s film.

[Damo70]

Not at the beginning, there was potential there.

He got crocked early doors with us didn't he? The fact that at the age of 28 he is playing in the Danish league with Aalborg suggests he was never destined to be a world beater.

[Percy McCarthy]

Some bloke called AVFC employee on twitter reckons we’ve agreed a loan deal for Loftus-Cheek.

To be fair i was quite excited when we signed him, looked really good when he was playing against Chelsea the season before we signed him.
