I'd always assumed he was our Pascal succession plan. A tidy player in possession whose preference is to play in an attacking midfield role but work-rate and footballing competence mean he can be played anywhere (see also Barco, Hinsh).

It was probably a disservice to him that we played him out wide initially due to injuries, and now all our armchair managers think he's a winger.

I think there has been a movement towards that in the last season at least. Contact doesn't always equals foul at the moment.

At the same time, I think we all want to see the game be skewed in favour of attacking and the current quality of football is much better served by not being able to employ a tactic where you just boot players up in the air and the referee waves play on.

On a more important matter, if the punishment was "something involving hundreds of miles of snowy forest and some wolves", which of our current squad would be best placed to survive?

I would've said Igor but don't think he'd do that well in the snow, so I'm going for Undav.

I'm not sure I agree that the game should be skewed towards attacking, although obviously I don't want to see defenders get away with ridiculous and genuinely dangerous horror tackles. My general ideal for most games would be a good tight 2-1 (not that I'm averse to Palace receiving the occasional total shellacking), with those goals coming from players using their skill to get passed or around defenders and scoring in open play, not running into them to draw contact and win a free kick somewhere vaguely near the box. Which shouldn't be taken as me dismissing the importance of set pieces.

Anyway, down to the IMPORTANT part of the post. I reckon Veltman's the sly choice here, I think he'd be able to use his cunning and smarts to get out of the situation.

Don't know how reliable "1908NL" is but the loan sounds weird and the buy-out clause straight up stupid.

FACUNDO BUONANOTTE • IT'S HAPPENING!

Feyenoord en Brighton & Hove Albion zijn er uit: Facundo Buonanotte moet de eerste directe versterking van de Rotterdammers worden. De 19-jarige Argentijnse rechtsbuiten annex aanvallende middenvelder komt op huurbasis over. De Rotterdammers hebben een koopoptie bedongen op de aanvallende...

“Feyenoord and Brighton & Hove Albion are out: Facundo Buonanotte should become the Rotterdam team's first direct reinforcement. The 19-year-old Argentinian right winger and attacking midfielder comes over on loan.

The Rotterdam team has negotiated a purchase option on the attacking midfielder and right winger, although it is quite high. An amount should be considered that breaks the current incoming transfer record approximately twice.

Discussions have been going on between Feyenoord and Brighton & Hove Albion for weeks about the possible arrival of Buonanotte, who is now actually coming to Rotterdam. The immediate reinforcement will be presented within a few days.”
