Given the red today we may well be seeing him in the next 3 games.

Whats your thoughts on him?

He strikes me as he described himself in the his first club interview "a clever player"

Good with the ball and brave in his choices, seems to work out tactically how to be a right pain in the arse to any attackers coming onto him as well.

Hes brilliant. Probably our best & most reliable defender - given the chance. He's done well every chance he has had so far.

Compared to what webby was up to today

Lamptey only misses one game.

Do you think Veltman will keep him out of the team for the next two games?

Quite happy with him stepping in for Lamptey. Not the same attacking threat (pace in particular) but a bloody good defender, calm head and a leader on the pitch. Decent upgrade on Montoya.

As Lamptey is a wing back I will presume Potter could/would play Alzate in his place. I think Veltman is more suited as a back 3/full back sort of player . . . but I am normally way off the mark.

Intelligent player. Losing Lamptey is a blow in terms of attack but I think Veltman is a sound defender, an upgrade on Montoya.

Thinks he’s been a classy acquisition - best description is a ‘premier league Uwe Hune’ and what a great guy / player he was for us.

Against Liverpool? All personal opinions but I’d rather have an actual experienced international defender playing in defence as opposed to an inexperienced midfielder being used as a makeshift defender.

I don't think many other premier league clubs have a CB that good on the bench, possibly none.

I quickly read the thread title and saw 'Any thoughts on Vietnam?'

Classy player.

Glad he's getting opportunities to play, it would be criminal if he wasn't.
Wouldn't be unhappy to see him replace Webster for a few games at some point.

Good option, Dunk and Webster should be looking over their shoulders as he is a class act
