[Albion] Lamptey

[Mellotron]

Alongside Rutter and his Uncle, he's a designated Vibesmen for me - brings a good feeling when he's on the pitch.

Great news and I shall look forward to watching him in his 2 starts and 6 sub appearances.

Personally surprised, think it's a pointless extension. Poor defender and constantly injury prone - waste of wages and a squad place. Would MUCH rather have signed KWP.

Will be annoyed if we don't now bring in a new right back. We can't rely on Lamptey and Veltman.

Ferdi?

 

[A1X]

Perhaps as cover in a thin area of the pitch? An acceptance we’ll need Wieffer / Hinsh in the midfield as someone (presumably Baleba) is off?

 

[BrickTamland]

Can anyone confirm if this is for Tariq Lamptey or Lockdown Lamptey?

Sums it up for me! Thanks!

Hmmm. Have the club said anything about Veltman's contract? I'm surprised we'd keep both.

Slightly more brutal than me, but I fully agree!

Yes, we exercised his option back in March.

My worry with veltman was that his Mrs made a point of going to most of the aways last season and hadnt before.

Paranoia suggested to me that they wanted to move back to Holland this season.

Although I'm sure I read somewhere that he wanted to stay

AHH ok. Was that announced by the club ?

 

[US Seagull]

At least someone is pleased

Good enough for me.

That's the thing. I don't think I've seen anything from the club about it. Only from Veltman? Weird that they wouldn't have announced it with the others today?

 

[Justice]

Really? Yes he's horrendously injury prone. But when he's featured he's largely performed well.

Not defensively attacking I agree

No - reported by Naylor

Possibly, but if you're a full back under FH, you're sent up the pitch, you're going to get caught sometimes. They've all been wrong side of the play and huffing to get back. It's a baked in risk the manager has accepted

 

[Hugo Rune]

Don't get this at all. This is the sort of player we should be moving on like Moder. Good character, but if this means we won't bringing in another specialist RB for YET another season, then I'm not sure about this at all.

Call me cynical but if we wanted to keep him, he'd have got more than a one year extension. If he somehow makes the squad, it's as a back-up winger, not a regular right back.

Great guy and amazing going forward but we can't work around his poor injury record anymore.

We have enacted a year extension to protect our asset to ensure we get a fee, probably from Everton. I'm assuming the very similar KWP will sign on a free in a few weeks to replace him.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Credit @Machiavelli who mentioned Tariq as a player worth keeping.

Personally, I’m more with @Sarisbury Seagull on this.

Defensively a liability at times, especially in 1:1’s…… see Gordon and others. Dangles a leg too much for me

No - reported by Naylor

Bizarre that club hasn't announced.....and has me suspicious again. Perhaps we will sell for a nominal fee to Ajax ?

 

[Mancgull]

I’m convinced that we’re going to a back 3 next season, this news makes me even more certain.

Me too. Adingra at RWB and Lamptey to provide cover.

The club have very much announced it.
