[Albion] Joel Veltman Appreciation

[I like massive Wood.]

Hi, haven't really browsed this site since league one days (massive wood was reference to big Chris, obviously), I just wanted to mention that I now love big Joel. He just always goes under the radar, he's lowkey wind up, and other fans barely know of him.

I feel he deserves a little chant (I've not heard one so far this season?) Was thinking perhaps a rendition of Michel Kuipers chant - Joel Veltman A Super Dutch Machine, just to maybe get the ball rolling.

Agree? Disagree? Over rated?

I think Joel is well appreciated by Brighton fans. I can't remember many if any sub-par performances and I wish he'd started against Arsenal. I am pretty sure the scoreline would have been different, in our favour.

As for songs .... "The First Joel?" "Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na VELTMAN?" (Can never understand why none of my suggestions catch on.)

I think he has not played in some of our defeats

What's the tune for that one

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Such a massively underrated player, and all for less than a million pounds!

 

[B-right-on]

Up there with Gross as one of our greatest PL signings per £.

Doesn't rhyme tho.

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Just goes about his business and does it very very well. Probably our hardest and most no nonsense player.

 

[pb21]

He's very much in contention for player of the season, again.

 

[MattBackHome]

Up there with our best ever signings.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Just goes about his business and does it very very well. Probably our hardest and most no nonsense player.

Very much like our other bargain signing mentioned on here, Pascal Gross.

Both seemingly more than happy to churn out sonsistent performances, and without seeking the plaudits or the limelight.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Just quality in so many ways. He just oozes class and experience.

I've said before, he's the most professional professional we've ever had and an absolute master in the dark arts of defending.

It's rather nice l think, to have a player in our side who isn't always . . . quite so nice.

 

[Weststander]

He praised to the hilt on nsc, we win when he starts.

Our best defensive RB, ever and I've been watching since Surrenden Field.

Hmmm…. I rate Bruno higher both defensively and going forward.

A fantastic player though.

Imho, Bruno was perfection going forward and working with his RW. For season after season, what a great career.

At the highest level of EPL (bar CL) Veltman is a brilliant defender.

 

[Mackenzie]

Watching him warm up last night, I bet he’s a great dancer. He’s quite graceful.

What?

 

[zefarelly]

Just goes about his business and does it very very well. Probably our hardest and most no nonsense player.

Forget the 7, top 3 without doubt.

 

[Billy in Bristol]

When he plays we look a better defensive unit.

Think we’re blessed to have seen both…..

The best Albion LB, more than Cuckoorella, was imho Wayne Bridge. Genuinely world class Ashley Cole prevented him winning more than his 36 England caps.

He effortlessly covered ground with ridiculous pace.
