A thread on dot.org stated that Harry has said we will have Ryan Nelsen until the end of February & then debated if we would be wasting a place in the squad if we named him.
IMO we would be better off naming Ryan in the 25 so he can play extra games for us & having only 24 senior players available from March.
The thought of giving his place to somebody to make up the numbers (Hogan for instance) with little chance of playing in preference to Nelsen would be a negative move to me.
This will still apply if we have signed a replacment by the end of the month.
It is not just his defending that is important but his organisation of the defence that is outstanding & worth an extra month with us for that reason alone.

It just amazes me that Hogan hasn't managed to get a single game.

Agreed that Nelson should remail in squad. Not in agreement about Ephraim. We have better players than him, and he has been injured for quite a while.

Would also depend on the terms Nelsen will have during that time. Will he be staying in London or flying over the Atlantic several times a week?
Plus, we simply must have a replacement for him! I would prefer someone up and coming who could also go down with us and not leave in the summer if we go down. Alternatively someone just like Nelsen, old but a good pro signed just for the rest of the season.
But yes, knowing what we know now he would be worth keeping in the 25.

Nelsen will struggle more and more, as prizby said, he'll be flying back and forth to Toronto the longer he stays with us. The more he goes where he wants to be the less effort we will get from him.
I still think the central defensive triangle that's over a 100 years old is holding us back.
I may have mentioned this before.
Anyway, why keep a bloke who wants to go? I appreciate he doesn't want to stitch us up but that's not the point.

Are we expecting to get them? I don't rate Malouda at all. Would rather we kept DJ insteaad of Bothroyd and got Danny Graham or Charlie Austin instead of Malouda.

Not intended to be my preference rather what is possible Gallas & Malouda both regular rumours emanating from France I agree about Campbell over Bothroyd but I suspect Campbell will sign with Palace/Hull/Ipswich next week and I think Harry will keep Bothroyd over Hogan. I'd like Graham but I think one of Norwich/Sunderland have got him At this point just hoping we get Gallas over Bramble
