    [Albion] Joel Veltman signs from Ajax in a 3-year deal

    They have said that but, at times, they don't keep to that (eg Stephens, Caicedo). I think they say something more than 'we won't stand in a player's way', it's usually caveated with something along the lines of 'provided the circumstances are right for the club'.

    Yes, you're obviously shacked up with some DULLARD watching 'something else' other than Glastonbury

    [Albion] Joel Veltman signs from Ajax in a 3-year deal

    Despite your and Swanny's amateur detective work, my hunch is you (and, more importantly, your sources) are both wrong. We will have no idea about players salaries, bonuses, release clauses, and so on. The club are fastidious at never officially announcing transfer fees either, whether ins or...

    [Albion] Joel Veltman signs from Ajax in a 3-year deal

    Remember that the reason we got JV so cheaply is because he had a clause in his contract saying that if a PL (and not a Serie A or Liga) club came in, he could go if the release fee was met. He's got another year, and a further year's option. I'm less concerned about JV's situation, and far more...

    [Albion] Joel Veltman signs from Ajax in a 3-year deal

    I really can't see how any other view to that provided in recent posts can be made. This is about as exciting as it gets within the context we have to operate.

    You normally get things right, and provide a welcome corrective to the doommongers

    Oh, I can answer this in two words: Paul Winstanley.

    You're very generous trueblue. He could have made that point but, instead, Naylor's command of English and logic conjoined two disconnected points.

    [Albion] Joel Veltman signs from Ajax in a 3-year deal

    Oh agreed. Webster and Dunk are our best passing CBs (although they've got different qualities), followed by Veltman, then followed by either Duffy or Burn -- on recent evidence it's Duffy, with Burn propping up the rear.

    [Albion] Joel Veltman signs from Ajax in a 3-year deal

    If it goes ahead, there's the possibility of a back three of Burn, Webster and Duffy against Brentford. That's decent. There's even the possibility of leaving one out.

    [Albion] Joel Veltman signs from Ajax in a 3-year deal

    Yes, the ability to mix things up is important. That pass from Sanchez was also delicious, but Welbeck is quicker than Trossard and Maupay (neither of whom are slouches) so there aren't many occasions to take advantage of such a situation, and then you have to factor in that passes over such a...

    [Albion] Joel Veltman signs from Ajax in a 3-year deal

    Two things. First, their defence was completely out of shape when Veltman played the ball. It was out of shape as a result of a dreadful goal kick. That's not going to repeat itself too often. Second, I've had repeated confirmation that at least one of Arsenal's CB is rapid. Unlike two of our...
