They had no choice as it was written into his contract, so they’d obviously agreed to it previously. The fee only applied to Premier League clubs though.Huge moment. It is staggering that Ajax let him go for chump change. Apart from the goal and penalty incident it was my favourite moment of the match.
I think the inspiring part of that is it feels like he doesn't regret the decision.The most surprising thing of all was that he wanted to leave world famous Ajax to join Premier League minnows Brighton.
... and even more acceptable when Velts does it. Easily my favourite current Brighton player.Also some top shithousery by Velts towards the end. Twice I spotted an AEK cross going out for a goal kick, and twice he went and got that ball, brought it back onto the pitch and then wandered off, so delaying Bart taking the goal kick with the ball rushed to him by the ball boys.
Normally despise that sort of thing, but perfectly acceptable when we do it
