Was there any Kiwis on here? Isn't Auro raman from NZ?
I'm from London mate, but I've been out here for just over a year. I posted in this thread earlier but it must've got lost in during the discussions taking place.
Just to reiterate, Spurs and Nelsen are big news over here at the moment, even noticed a few more shirts in the City Centre! They're really proud that Nelsen has joined 'a massive club' in the English Premier League.
Football is expanding quite rapidly here at the moment, so good exposure for us and without my Kiwi hat on, I'm very happy with Nelsen being signed. No-nonsense, solid and dependable. Also very happy with Saha's signature. Good experience for the run in.
Exactly. The psychological impact (good and bad) the goalkeeper has on a team is massive. Its not just the mistakes/bloopers they DO make its the psychological baggage that goes with them. Trust evaporates and fear can infiltrate the back four and beyond. Its always there in the background. Its tragic but we're all waiting for the next one.
The best thing i can say about friedel is i almost don't notice him, i don't even think about him playing, he's there and he's solid. He's not on the defences mind and he's not on harry's mind and thats massive.

It's all relative though. It was still after women's golf on the news (and about 15 minutes after rugby 7s and the ODI against Zimbabwe).
One thing about Nelsen:
Back when he was a Blackburn regular he was a very confident and vocal defender.
Regarding the fact that Dawson and Kaboul always play best alongside King, Nelsen in his own right may contribute to making both of them better players when fielded alongside him.
Also I remember him as very useful at set-pieces.
Ah right, good to see you on the new board mate!
Is he still playing for the national team? I guess the signing will be good for our profile out there, as long as he gets a bit of playing time...
The thing which will make or break the Nelsen and Saha signing is fitness I guess, for both of them it is a bit of a worry but I'm happy with both of them really...
