I’d be more shocked if Montoya now stayed following the signing of Veltman

Wouldn’t it be magic if a striker were to be imminently inbound for 20M+?

You absolute tease!
Do you think the magic striker would be coming from overseas or England?

My guess is that certain players and their agents may have been told they are unlikely to make the 25 (Montoya), or will be predominantly used as backup only (Duffy/Murray).
They can accept that and see out their contracts or they can start looking for a move.
Other than that I can't see the club actively looking to get rid of anyone (Andone and Locadia excepted), but would certainly look at any decent offers for certain players (Jahanbaksh/Gross/Stephens/Propper).

Veltman is definitely slow. Especially after his nasty knee Injury, ask any Ajax fan.
Lallana is slow maybe not Brighton slow but he's slow.

I know nothing. As has been proven on here dozens of times before. I was just remarking, “wouldn’t it be nice...” that’s all.
Watched Ajax a few times bombs up and down the right. Not sure who you've been speaking too.. Positioning is pretty good and covers a lot of ground also. Probably faster than our current centre backs.
As for Lallana he's not rapid but certainly not "slow" easily quicker than Stephens, Mooy, Gross, Propper..
We'll agree to disagree.

Agree with all of that. I think the OP was very harsh with some of his out list, particularly the names you mention.

So a vive la revolution thread is all about who we're chucking out of the Albion? This ain't right.
Potter's revolution is in our style and way of playing, adding youth and pace, sure, but its definitely NOT a revolution in the way Brighton is as a club. We don't dump club legends unceremoniously, we place value on our past stars helping to build our future and have loyalty to those who have committed their careers to the Albion. We keep deep squads which has served us well in the pandemic.
We will move players on if they are on the fringes and want first team football, but that's all. Most seem happy here, Duffy and Murray and Stephens have lost their first choice slots but haven't complained in public, always seem positive and happy on match days and put in a great shift when called upon. Murray has frequently spoken in glowing terms about Potter. They may be allowed to leave if they have an offer from another Prem team to be first choice, and if they want to do that, and that's fair enough. But we won't be 'getting rid'! Heck we even offered Schelotto a new contract by all accounts.
In three years we haven't suffered an injury crisis, but if one hits, we will want that strength in depth and thank our stars we didn't just 'get rid of Stephens or Duffy'.

Don't think so - he's only 20 (21 next month).

Just 18 appearances last season and 2 goals. His injury record also counts against him. The old Danny Welbeck yes in a heartbeat but I'm not sure the turn of pace etc is still there.

We will still have to declare all players who can be named in a match day squad, but he won't be counted as one of the 25.

If Izquierdo is part of the revolution is worries me.

I don't get that most people seem to think we need a left back. I've seen nothing wrong with Bernado, in fact, I quite like him. We also have Burn, whom must people say is not a left back but I don't think the team plays as well without him in it. He's not going to get in at CB. And, he's been mightily unlucky not to score a few.
Lastly, we have March who does a good job as LWB. OK, he could be a bit better going forward but defensively, he is fine.
If we found a left sided Lamptey, that would be good but like Lamptey, he would not start every game, due to age and experience.

I really like Bernardo too, like Ali-J.
However, I think he is leaving because like Ali-J, Potter does not appear to fancy him. I just could not fathom why he was not getting more LB or LWB starts last season, he has so much in his game.
I’d like both to stay but if Potter isn’t going to use them, we’re better off finding players he will.
I dunno about Bernardo... when Dan Burn was injured for a month in January, the whole defense just fell apart. The team conceded three goals against Bournemouth and West Ham - the only two times more than two goals were conceded against a team outside the top 4.
I hope he leaves, I dont think he is PL standard defensively.

That's the bit where I mentioned the team isn't the same without Burn. During that injury period we really missed him.

The EVOLUTION will continue. Small changes as mentioned, 3-5 out.
REVOLUTION is not in the Bloom blood. Or that of PB, DA and GPott (the man).
Small steps.
