[Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

Who is the competition for Veltman? I thought we let Barco go because he is a massive dick head allegedly, or is that just NSC hearsay?

We didn't buy competition for Veltman. Guess the thinking was between Lamptey & Ferdi we had it covered?
We didn't

 

[Deadly Danson]

I would.
He's doing a good job but he doesn't anticipate & position himself like a RB because he isn't one. He gets away with it because he's a strong athlete & an excellent footballer but it's not a long term solution & a waste of his talent imo

I sort of agree but it seemed to be what FH was intimating and he could grow into the role. In the same way I'm pretty happy if Hinsh plays at LB if needed but he's better in midfield I think the same may be true of Mats at RB and perhaps means the position is less of a priority this summer.

Hearsay, I think.
But he needed replacing, whatever the reason

Personally would like Mats to get a run with Baleba in midfield over Ayari and Hinsh to see how it works

For filling in. But a team challenging for & perhaps playing in Europe needs specialist full backs

Me too

I quite liked what I saw of Barco, shame he didn’t get a run. Raw but talented imo

Yeah, pre-season though please ( unless the unthinkable happens tomorrow), let's not experiment when we're in a race for Europe.
