gigi riva Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I Think getting out of that shit show of TFC was smart and benificial . I think he desrves a CMNT call up for sure. I also believe it will be wise for him to play one more season in Scandinavia before heading to a higher profile league.

Weird- didn’t even send a correction either. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phresh Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Recent article about him : https://wakingthered.com/2023/12/04/13853/ex-toronto-fc-winger-jayden-nelson-reflects-on-first-season-at-rosenborg-urges-more-young-canadians-to-head-to-europe/ Must say I'm a bit annoyed they got his stats completely wrong, he scored 4 in league play and 2 in conference league qualifiers, then he had an assist in the league cup, so that's 6 goals and 6 assists in 29 games.

Transfermarkt has this : + 1 goal in 1 game with Canada at the Gold Cup (played 57 minutes) Not sure if transfermarkt numbers are legit tho.

Looks like Transfermarkt might’ve over counted his assists. They gave him 2 assists against Odd in July and one against Molde last spring which per all of the score apps never happened. On the other hand, it looks like Transfermarkt is the only place that tracks the Norwegian cup, so the other sources don’t count his assist there. Per my count he ended up with 6G/6A in all comps, plus the Canada goal, so unless I’ve also gotten my math wrong, in 2023, he’s played 32 total games and scored 7G and 6A- not bad at all. With how confusing these stats are, I think it’s better for all of us if he heads to a bigger league. Looked into this more and for some weird reason, transfermarkt gave him an assist on an opposition own goal, another assist for drawing a penalty, and a third for taking a shot on goal that rebounded to a teammate who tapped it in. Not assists you can count, but it probably counts in the manager’s book for what it’s worth.

Stryker911 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Lucky for him Manning uses transfermarket as his main scouting tool. Going to be clamouring to get him to come back to Toronto. Corazon and sebdeserio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Started for Roseborg earlier today in a friendly against Las Palmas’ U19s, lost 1-0. I think it may have been a 60 minute game with 30 minute halves. Did a quick twitter name search on Nelson, and it seems like quite a few rosenborg fans think he’s going to be their breakout/best player this year. Some fan page even started a rumour that some German and French teams are after him too. Looking forward to seeing how he plays. Seems Norway’s season starts in April- could’ve sworn they followed something closer to the MLS schedule. johnyb, dyslexic nam, YorkRegionFan and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems Norway’s season starts in April- could’ve sworn they followed something closer to the MLS schedule. The league starts on Easter Monday, traditionally, so this year it's April 1st. Rosenborg is home on Easter Monday for the opener. Rosenborg plays the Las Palmas B team on the 23rd. They are doing their pre-season in Maspalomas, it is very touristy, with terrible overbuilding, but Canary Islands is still wonderful, highly recommended. I'm actually going to Norway over Easter, as my son has moved to Bergen for work, and I did look at possible matches. Brann is away, but I am flying back that midday anyways. Brann women are in CL so actually play in mid-winter, they have a home group stage match in a few weeks.

The boat cruise up the fjords, while touristy, is worth it for the scenery. The main town is very compact, so you can walk everywhere. If you're going to Oslo, the train journey is also fantastic for some of the scenery. Unnamed Trialist and Canuckia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I have missed watching the Rosenborg games. Looking forward to the season getting back into full swing. Having easy/free access to pretty much every game on the OneFootball app makes him one of our most accessible players.

An Observer Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I still think he is a better 10 than a winger. He can keep the ball well , dribble past players in tight spaces, and is a good passer through traffic. His last year at TFC when he played centrally, you could seem him starting to put it together and was getting more aggressive in the tackle and creating that yard of space in the last third which was starting to make him dangerous. On the wing, I don’t think he has elite speed nor is he a great crosser of the ball. Shame in my view Rosenborg moved him back there. kingvikingstad, Corazon, lowlander and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in 2014 WCQ after Simpson went down we didn’t have one true attacking dribbling player in the team. Now we have players like this who are on the fringes of the national team.

In terms of speed, I don’t know if he is “elite” but I will say that there have been a few times where I have been surprised at how quick he can be. I don’t think he uses it all the time because he is a bit of a technician with the ball, but I really do think he has enough pace to be a winger. And I don’t just mean the bare minimum required. Having said that, I would still like to see him play centrally as his skillset seems well suited to a CAM sort of role.
