I understand from both #ncfc and Wolves that no discussions have taken place about any potential Oliveira transfer. Nothing in that one.

Awww, bless him for trying to sound like a proper journalist.

Reading won''t happen, no way they''re going to match our valuation of him. If Wolves/Mendes really want him then since they do have silly cash to throw about, I really hope we''ve told them £15m up front or they can farke right off... We have absolutely no reason to sell unless we want to and if he wants to go, lets wring every last penny out of them. Big fan of Nelson but realistically £15m could buy us a better replacement from Europe or South America with a bit to spare.

Two rumours in quick succession does look like his agent is *very* keen to move him on. I wonder what Nelson''s part in it all is?

[holt, who goes there? 9]

Errrrr......because some of it is actually true!!!!......Kyle Walker for 50 million, no chance two days ago.....today done deal!!!

Has anyone actually said for certain that Nelson has a clause?

He seemed keen to put down some roots and have a few seasons in one place when he joined, having been loaned out here and there over the years, so it would seem odd for him to be wanting out. Maybe it''s his agent after yet another payday for himself so is touting him about.

[wcorkcanary 4,334]

You beat me to that point Branston, he said when he arrived that he appreciated the fact that we bought him rather than a loan/trial. I reckon this story is all bullshoite.PS  Nelson, I''d give my right arm and my right  eye to see you stay. Geddit ?

I''ll remind you of my post on the first page of this

thread.......[quote user="lappinitup"]I asked Webber last night about Oliviera and

Jerome and he said he expected them both to be here at the start of the

season.[/quote][Y]

Start of the season / closure of the transfer window; two different things! Just saying!

Potentially unpopular opinion inbound:

Oliviera would be a bigger loss than Jacob. Jacob is potential and we need to get back to the Pl as soon as possible, Oliviera is a 20 goal a season striker at this level if he stays fit but is also a complete footballer and good all round forward. in the top 3 striker in this division imo, in this league you tend to get either a poacher or a good player who doesn''t score many, Nelson is both and losing him would be catastrophic.

if there''s a 10 million release clause, which is only rumoured at the moment then we''re really screwed, if not, then 15 million as an absolute minimum.

If Fulham can get 13 for McCormack then we should be asking for 20 for Oliviera

[Darth Canary1 91]

Not sure why that would be an unpopular opinion, I think everyone wants him to stay

[Herman 9,768]

Definitely not unpopular. I think you''re spot on HR[Y]

[Darth Canary1 91]

Ahhh sorry I get what you mean now HR

It was mentioned by someone as a "what if he does" type of comment, and then people started commenting as if it were factual. I did point this out at the time, that it wasn''t helpful to be discussing it when there was absolutely nothing to support this, or a scenario in which it made sense. I didn''t realise Mendes was his agent, but that makes it even more unlikely I would think, given that he is working with Wolves, I would think if Nelson did have a release clause, then it would have been activated if Wolves were interested. 

It is absolutely not a fact, and in my opinion incredibly unlikely.

[westcoastcanary 173]

Here''s a better candidate for unpopularity:

Bigger loss than Jacob, yes; catastrophic loss, no. Good player, but certainly not irreplaceable now that we have a continental-savvy recruitment department that knows what it''s doing. 

[norfolkngood 1,087]

Oliviera is a 20 goal a season striker at this level

i do not want him to leave at all as i think he is a complete forward and the best we have BUT he has never score more than 15 goals in one season 200 games / 45 goals

will improve maybe ,will he stay fit maybe, is he the best we have yes i think so . would i sell for 10 million yes
