[Archived] Ryan Nelsen

[RIML]

Nelly is on SoccerAM this morning doing what he loves about football... (Mostly stuck on here for RIML's benfit!!! )

I missed it but I've read his comments,

"I love football because you can run around a bit of grass kicking lumps out of anybody and anything and chase a ball around, it's brilliant! And get paid to do it! Unbelievable!"

I can't seem to find any videos though

Keep an eye on Sky. They sometimes stick those videos up. Oh, and he made me laugh out loud, he was very funny.

Found it, I Love Football - Ryan Nelsen

I love this interview, espec the bit when he says, "brickie, I like that"

[Hughesy]

Nelsen to NZ???

[BigUts]

Keep your eye on his leg

F*#k, it looks so bad close up. They did say on ESPN he's hard as nails.

I almost vomited when I saw that, it's really horrific! He's as hard as sh*t that fella!

I know if that was an Arsenal player their leg would have snapped in half

Surprised he's back so soon to be honest, I hope Sam rests him from now until the end of the season, give him time to recover both mentally and physically, I would hate to see him miss the World Cup.

Being Scottish, and with the Rovers connection, New Zealand are my team for the World Cup.

They'll do as well as us as well?

I'm going to have to sit down and decide who to support in SA?

With Nelsen in charge, anything is possible!

Top stuff, what about the white shirt?

[EnglishChris]

First website I came across that sells the white shirt was this one http://www.nzfootball.co.nz/index.php?id=8 costa about $150 which is about £70 in english money not sure if there cheaper anywhere else though.

[Hughesy]

When I did a quick search on google shopping last night - it was available for £45 via a site on there - however not out until May

[LeChuck]

These are the right ones, aren't they?

£35 inc postage.

[RIML]

Yep I think the white one is much nicer, anyone know when it's out?

[EnglishChris]

1st of May i believe

Already got mine £57 though, I seriously need to get a life. They are very nice, had to get small men's, and it's a little on the big side.

Does anyone know why Ryan didn't wear the armband against the Gooners?

There's an interview with Ryan Nelsen on facebook Click activate now > watch live event > click yes to the message that appears.

It is 40 minutes long but it's very good. Nelsen says something like, he's never asked to be captain, the captaincy is something he's been given, it's an extra piece of cloth he wears and he wouldn't play differently with or without it.

I think it's a tactic to be honest, I think Samba will get more respect from the referee. Sam does have a theory that referees penalise taller players, that's what I think anyway.

Fixed!

[Hughesy]

Anyone heard any rumours about him leaving this summer?

[Bobby G]

Might be true. He is 33 now heading on 34.

Givet, Samba and Jones look like they could be a good threesome at the back. We would need to get a left back or someone who can play left back and center back.

Id keep Nelsen around though personally. He has good experience to be in the squad. But I believe Givet and even Jones may be better partners for Samba now.
