What because he's a good player? He's been unfairly criticised this season in my book

The club tried to flog him to Reading against his will in the summer and I get the impression that put a few people's noses out of joint.

People accepting a lazy narrative about how he doesn't try etc. its nonsense.

Yes we could also do with a striker who runs off the shoulder of defenders but Nelson is a class player and we should try and keep him not actively look to sell him.
