Aberdeen Football Club have today completed the signing of goalkeeper Stuart Nelson on a one year deal.

 

The 6 foot 1 inch stopper left Norwich City this summer after spending a year at Carrow Road. The 27 year old has previously played for Leyton Orient, Brentford and Doncaster Rovers.

 

He spoke exclusively to RedWeb after signing and said: "I am delighted to have signed for a club of the size and stature of Aberdeen.

 

"My agent received a call from Mark McGhee at the end of last week and it's great to have sorted out a contract so quickly.

 

"I'm already looking forward to meeting my new teammates and can't wait to see the club in European action this week."

Anyone heard of him then?

Was he too big to fit in the contracts signing cupboard?

 

I assume Bert is going then.

 

And Bateman must be shite.

I'm sure he's that guy who used to play for Leyton Orient, Brentford and Doncaster Rovers.

Oh well, at least we've finally made a signing, and yes, Bateman must be shite 

Delighted! Never heard of him but he's not Bossu so must be better. 

Lets hope he can chip in with a few goals.

Was just about to say cannot be any worse than Bossu but you beat me to it.

Has played 168 games in his career according to wikipedia with 116 of them at Brentford between 2004 and 2007

 

Edit - Was also captain of Brentford in 06/07 season before he was injured with a ligament problem.

I'm sure he's that guy who used to play for Leyton Orient, Brentford and Doncaster Rovers. 

 

The mighty Doncaster Rovers

RIP The Broom Cupboard 

Would have been signed by Martin Allen for Brentford And Martin Ling at Orient, and Roeder?? at Norwich so the boy must have something. The Brentford side he played for were a good side I'm guessing he would have been part of the team that got to the FA cup 5th round (or was it the qfinals) beating Sunderland?? on the way.

 

Can't say I can remember seeing him but he might have been the guy we put 5 past in 2006 unless that was when he got injured.Got to be better than bossu and should provide Competion for Langfield.

Thoughts are with it's family. RIP in peace.

Is Bateman not just considered too young? The fact this lad has only been signed for a year maybe suggests that they just want to give Bateman more time to develop outwith the first team squad.

20 years old now. Should be able to rely on him for 6 weeks cover.

It was saying on the news that was the reason he was signed, but i'm not so sure about that.

 

If there was any position on the park we didn't need competition I would have thought it was in goals, however as it's only a 1 year deal I predict him as a replacement for Bossu and he was essentially lied to to get him to sign for us.

 

Welcome on board to the good ship AFC though

Is the correct answer.

From the sounds of it, he has just been signed as an emergency cover with the Europa deadline in mind.

 

Very much doubt he will actually play in many games.

I dunno said it before there are a lot of good keepers in the lower reaches of English football. And as I said earlier given the managers that have signed him he must have something about him. As for competition for the No 1 spot, that can only be a good thing, surely? Perhaps with a second choice keeper that knows what he's doing it will give Leighton more time to work with Bateman and Langfield. Presumably he won't have to worry too much about showing Bertie what a fitba looks like, how to catch it, where to stand, what a goal posts looks like etc. anymore.

...or possibly we are about to sell Langfield to generate some much needed funds ?

He looks tall dark and kinda handsome.........................that will do for me

I'm tall and dark, will that do?  I used to be a keeper when younger.

If they get a decent cash offer for Langfield then this could be a case of McGhee boxing clever. I don't know who would pay a fee for Langfield though, especially in this financial climate.
