It shouldn't have a bearing on the fee, but it'd be difficult for the panel not to notice that he's only started 4 games for a team 17th in League 1.  

The next John Terry, he ain't.

Anything north of 100k will be worthy of an eyebrow raise.

Hasn't Nelson been injured since pre-season?

His appearance record over the last few seasons does not indicate that he is injury prone so if he has been crocked and has then come back into the team almost immediately when fit then it boosts the case for how good he is rather than weakening it.

Just had a look. He had a full pre-season and did start the first game. He's been on the bench a few times in the last month, then started at full back on Saturday in their home defeat to Millwall.

10% of the posters that voted think we're going to get over 400k for him.  

While we're on the subject of deluded saddo's, one of the aforementioned has seen fit to shell out 3 figures for a photo of Graham Carey.

I considered bidding for that. Why? Off to Oz to live in the near future and want some memorabilia etc. Saddo for this?
How completely ironic.

A DECISION has been deferred at the independent tribunal in London to set the compensation payment that Plymouth Argyle will receive for their former captain and centre-back Curtis Nelson.

There is no word yet when the verdict of the panel will be announced or if any financial details will be revealed.

sounds to me Argyle want more than Oxford can afford and a settlement still cant be reached with the tribunal.

Think oxford have come to the conclusion after him being at the club for a while that his not worth what they thought he was worth more like it found out is prone to the odd calamity forms not been that good played him at left back a couple of weeks back and gave away a penalty dont get me wrong his not a bad player and still learning trade but i dont think his as good as some think he really is

£200,000 rising to £280,000 according to Oxfordshire United.

That's a decent fee at League 1/2 level. No doubt now that the historic debt is paid off, all the money received will be given to Derek Adams to strengthen the squad in January.

No, really, I'm serious. Stop laughing.

200k is a more than fair amount of wedge.

You have to ask yourself, if you're PAFC and Nelson becomes available (from another team) for 200k, would you be rushing out to buy him? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't. And obviously Oxford wouldn't have either looking at this....

Oxford have been royally shafted. Gonna be a good Christmas in the Brent household.

Wonder if the price may have been affected if he had signed a pre-contract agreement with a CCC club....

Good fee I reckon. Bleddy shame Adams won't see any of it. 200K could make the difference come the January sales :/

Well, Christmas isn't Christmas without a few Louis Roederer Crystal Gold Caged jereboams of champagne at 17 grand a bottle from Harrods, so there's that. And JB needs a supply of £50 notes to light his Montecristo No. 4s whilst laughing at the plebs. With a bit of luck, there might be enough left to sign a promising trainee from Tiverton Town...

A promising trainee from Tiverton Town?....Geddon Jimmy, make me proud!

good deal for us. shame del bhey wont see a penny off it.

"The figure is significantly higher than our initial expectation. We respect the Committee's decision but Plymouth have seemingly benefited from the lack of clarity of how the 'youth compensation' regulations are applied. This is a huge amount of money for a club such as ourselves and well above the amount budgeted''.

I'm sure Curtis will be delighted to read the reaction of his employers. In todays football world 200K is peanuts and Oxford are moaning -

200k there having a laugh you sure brent aint got someone on that tribunal straighten out..lol 100k to many in my opinion no wonder oxford are having a rite stewards enquiry

Given how much we've been shafted over the years its nice to shaft someone else for once!

About double what I expected.

Leeds United are lining up a move to sign Oxford United captain Curtis Nelson, according to Football Insider.

The reliable football news site claim that centre-back Nelson, 24, figures highly on the wanted list of Elland Road manager Thomas Christiansen as he aims to land a new defender before the transfer window cut-off.

However, Christiansen will face a battle to persuade Oxford to sell Nelson after he was named club captain at the Kassam Stadium this summer.

Good move for Leeds?

Possibly. Former Stoke trainee Nelson is regarded as one of the best defenders in the lower leagues after impressing at both Oxford and former club Plymouth. He is a commanding presence who has ironed out some of the weaknesses in his game in recent years, and his commitment and willingness to put his body on the line has made him a popular figure on the terraces. Is he good enough to make the step up to the Championship? All the evidence is that, yes, he is. Leeds are in need of another senior centre-back and Nelson, who is 24 and has his best years ahead of him, could prove a shrewd signing. However, he may have to wait his turn as he would be unlikely to walk straight into the Leeds starting line-up.

Likely to happen?

Given Leeds’ desire to sign another centre-back, which Christiansen tacitly admitted at his weekly briefing on Friday, there is every chance. Oxford are vulnerable to a bid as Nelson only has a year remaining on the contract he signed when joining from Plymouth last summer. If the player wants it, a deal could be agreed fairly swiftly.

^^

I understand we are on another earner if a fee is agreed in excess of what we got for him previously and 20% is the touted figure....
Jimbo on another unbudgeted top up for his pension pot

Yep, 20% of everything over the initial fee. Usual rules apply, we'll get paid when Oxford get paid, after Western Union & Akkeron fees there will be feck all left yada yada.

I see the Herald is running with this story now
