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

    ha . Not sure there's anything to suggest he "wants out" or even if he did - we wouldn't be trying to keep him. He's a key member of the squad.

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

    he gets an unfair rep as a "squad player" . Potter relied on him in that last 12 months, he started nearly every game - aside from a few injury absences - because he was versatile, and yes because he had injuries/suspensions to deal with but also because he kept putting in a string of great...

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

    There's no substantial reporting that he's either "digging his heels in" or that "Barca have made an offer" or come to think of it that he's the only "end of career quality player" who have had an option (see also Welbeck ) or that we don't routinely do this with our veteran players (see Gross...

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

    Agree with you. We don't roll over. PS: Dan Burn was a regular starter in the first team squad when he was sold. He'd just finished a run of starting 8 games in a row only interuppted by a couple of injuries. And he had started 23 of the PL games the previous season . From about January 2021...

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

    We've had contract options for many players since then (i think at least half a dozen of the current squad have them) and exercised them and/or extended their contracts anew depending on circumstances.

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

    Naylor and The Athletic first reported that we had an 1 year option with Veltman's contract as long ago as May 2022. Latest reporting is that we're in contract negotiations presumably to land a contract (2 years ? ) similar to Gross at end of last season ? given our lack of options in his...

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

    Ha. Yep. irony, trolling, or just general half empty gloom. Often hard to tell i think and i'm definitely the worst at responding pompously forgetting all of that so apols !!

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

    Maybe we’re being whooshed but on what possible basis are Albion being “asset stripped” ?

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

    We've sold one key player this summer. One. The rest is mostly noise. That's a by product of having a decent squad . As for the contractual stuff. Nearly all of it is done, or there are options. (Trossard, Welbeck, Veltman) or we're presumably relaxed (Duffy, Maupay, Lallana) or i imagine is...

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