I guess he’s being looked at as cover for what we’ve got. Can’t see him troubling the 3 we used last season, but you never know

I often mention that QPR fan who told us we could expect underwhelming signings from Neil Warnock that end up working, well, the first bit of that certainly applies to the three names which have been identified as our most likely signings, wonder if the second bit will?
They all correspond to the Cardiff City view that you are still classed as a young player at twenty six I suppose.
I used to sign Curtis Nelson for my Football Manager City team about eight years ago.

Looks like he’s been captain for a while - at a young age and also had the armband at times at Plymouth. So unsurprisingly another leader !
Suffered s not from injuries and maybe that’s why he’s only played in the lower leagues.
England under 18, so must have something.
Just hope this doesn’t mean Morrison or Manga are going.. or that there’s bad news on Sol’s injury
Lewis Holtby ,whoever he is, being mentioned
Ex Spurs
Eh? So a player released when he was 16 years old can't improve and come back a better player? Also, Bristol Rovers have only "released" him as he opted to run down his contract to try his luck at a higher level. Reports say that four Championship teams are keen on him. I've only seen him play for Wales but from what I saw, I was quite impressed.
My understanding is that he didn't sign a new contact at Bristol Rovers because he was looking to take a step up and, based on the qualities he's shown over several years, is being allowed to do so with a good amount of support. He was released by City 8 years ago as a 16 year old so a lot has changed in that time.
Some fantastic Zohore spellings in this thread if nothing else 👍👍👍

He was released as a 16-year old by Stoke City. He can't be any good
To partially answer my own question regarding Lockyer, I imagine that it could have been any number of things separating the two players and that it could potentially be decision that the player has made (not wanting to start off as a third or fourth choice) as much as the team. Perhaps we should instead be giving credit to Warnock for picking up another bargain and what appears to be a ball-playing CB as his first signing of a summer - who in the premier league pundits room would have predicted that? Is this the long term replacement for Bamba?
