Duffy was sadly surplus to requirements when he left. Different to letting an key player go.

It's been on another thread (also Sevilla & Roma, apparently) for a week or two. Don't remember which one

I don't think anyone is saying we wouldn't let him go. Just that we wouldn't (and shouldn't) let him go for free.

If Duffy had been an important first team player, that wouldn't have happened.

Fantastic news.
A bit like Gross, he goes under the radar, but so important to us and our progression over the past couple of years.

It was as if someone took a tonne of weight off my shoulders when I saw Veltman's name on Sunday's team sheet.

Yep. We're better all over with JV in the team
Brilliant news.
My favourite Albion player, a proper RB.
Veltman - tick
RDZ staying -
Caicedo possibly staying for one more season -
Now hoping that the other two transpire too.

Incredible news. Always felt he’d stay but there’s that nagging feeling at the back of your mind someone like Milan/Roma would tempt him away. Now just need to make sure Naylor’s right

These are a good tweet.
To be fair, if he wasn't playing then we'd have been missing an important Gross or Caicedo in the middle, so we were all delighted.
YouTube recommended this video to me today, and I thought it was all rather awkward - players looking just to move down the line quickly, signing and smiling for a selfie. They're not really in "stop to be interviewed" mode.
...until Joel Veltman came along, anyway He recognises the lad, let him know he'd watched him before, stopped for a chat and, as he finished, told the lad to keep on going. Just a really classy way to engage and must have made the lad's day.
Well done Joel Veltman - thoroughly decent bloke.

Was speaking to to Mr & Mrs Veltman after the Man Utd match, we may of stayed for an extra drink. What lovely people they both were, more than happy to have a chat for ten minutes or so, only stopped when we had to make the train dash.
