[Albion] Joel Veltman.

[Herr Tubthumper]

Footballing excellence aside, Veltman is a good defender to read and listen to. His post Spurs 1-0 win programme interview where he explained how he defended against Son was interesting as was his post-Brentford defeat interview when he spoke about the penalty. He really is a cut-above the vast majority of players on many levels.

Next contract extension please Mr Bloom/ Barber) Weir. Up in the summer but one year extension possible I heard.

Recently said in the Dutch Media that Spain or Italy is an option. At 32 he's got one last big contract left.

We will miss him. I hope he signs a new contract extension but have a funny feeling he wont.

Roma are allegedly one of the teams interested in him

In that case, we'll be saying Arrivederci...

He's a perfect Mourinho player, he would love Veltman!

Big pay check, living in one of the best cities in the world, likely to be playing in the Champions League next season - couldn't blame or begrudge him that move at all.

 

[RandyWanger]

Is this because admin forgot his 100th game?

 

[Icy Gull]

Shame, maybe RDZ has someone younger and quicker lined up?

Pascal Gross. our strongest 11 if Lallana was fit would be Gross at right back, Lallana in the 10 role and Ali Mac sitting deeper alongside Moises.

Veltmen is a great defender but Gross impacts the game more from right back.

I thought for a moment you meant he'd be staying here

 

[Springal]

Looks like he trained today

Looks like he trained today

He did, which is positive. But so did Lallana & Webster, so not sure how much it means...

 

[Wozza]

Deserves a couple more years imo.

Reliable, gets properly stuck in... and was very obviously a bargain.

One of the hosts from the Seagulls Social podcast spoke to Lallana at the beginning of the week, Lallana told him he’d was ready to go. I think we might see a surprise or two in the squad tomorrow.

 

[elwheelio]

Veltman is great. I actually feel he's been a bit off his usual top form of late but he's still a fantastic player and one of our best ever signings.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

If he does leave, I hope we can recoup some of the 900k we spent on him.

 

[Mellotron]

Met him at a family farm park place up in Hurstpierpoint, along with Pröpper and Trossard.

Joel was by far the friendliest and most chatty of the 3. Pröpper was fine but quiet, Trossard seemed like he really didn’t want to be there.

To be fair the others had kids which is what this sort of place was for.

Looks a serious one today, pulled up and waved his arms at the bench. Off in tears

Gutted. Hopefully doesn't derail the contract negotiations for next season.

Yes I noticed he was crying when he came off
Brilliant player for us

I'd be disappointed if it did; if they are already negotiating. Hopefully we aren't that sort of club.
