Well, that's just their prerogative, almost makes me wish that Red Bull choose us as their MLS destination rather than New York. Now, the initial knee jerk reaction by people will be "No!!! We can't have such soulless corporate brand as our team's moniker!!!" but these same idiots are perfectly fine with supporting a club that has a soulless corporation in Bell/Rogers owning the team. The question then becomes do you want a subversive devil or the devil that reveals itself? are you calling me a idiot for supporting my local team that wants to win stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only call you an idiot if you had an issue with Red Bull owning the team and calling it Red Bull Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Any updates? Is he still trialing at Anderlecht? Every time I see a Rutty update my thoughts end up wandering to Nelson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Pretty solid game tonight. Still gets caught trying to dribble through people sometimes but was solid in attack and generated some chances (or plays that should have led to chances). Really hoping he can continue progressing this year and get lots of minutes. Definitely enough encouraging signs tonight that I think he will get solid playing time in the coming games.

I was actually really impressed with him tonight, we know he has high end skill but I think he was a lot better when it came to keeping possession and decision making. Would love it if he became a Ronaldinho lite. toontownman, Ivan, Corazon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Was one of their best players tonight, made some great plays, some moments of brilliance not sure I would have subbed him off.

Gian-Luca Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 The pass at the end of that video is phenomenal. If Bob Bradley can continue to harness & channel Nelson's talents (which was the impression I had - a much less haphazard performance than I'd seen before) this could be a huge boon to both club & country. ag futbol, Shway, Kadenge and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod818 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 it looks like Nelson, Shaffelburg and JMR all bulked up during the offseason. All 3 of them look noticeably bigger and stronger. rkomar and Bison44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why people consider this a scarlet letter. Sure, from what we saw last season, he over dribbled / was too individualistic. But last night, when he did take on a man he did it with purpose or when it was the only forseeable play to be made (with very few exceptions). Sometimes stuff not coming off is the price you play for an eventual brilliant play. In the one sequence, he occupies 3+ defenders by dribbling through then gets the ball across goal. That’s a great outcome even if it didn’t result in anything at the end. A really progressive performance vs. What we saw last year. Think a European move (within reason) is not out of the question if he can show consistent performances like this.

I was upset at this too but I’m fairness I think Bradley’s hand was slightly forced. He had brought on Achara at half for a struggling Deandre Kerr and wanted to get Okello in to shore up midfield. Otherwise I think he leaves Nelson on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also surprised to not see Priso but I think once Bradley saw everyone slipping and sliding on the pitch he wasn't going to risk Priso's ankle on that grass.

Norrin Radd Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 When Nelson came up a couple of years ago he had no idea how to defend. He looked like a young skilled player who had never been given any defensive responsibilities. It was really encouraging to see him challenging for the ball and winning possession a few times yesterday. TOcanadafan and rkomar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
