[Albion] Right back!

[aolstudios]

Walker Peters still at Southampton a proper right back and can play left back, wouldn't be cheap I assume, but has prem experience and has been one of Southamptons better players for a few years.

Not as good as Veltman but good for specialist cover I guess

I’ve been banging on about this all summer and usually posters disagree with me but why on EARTH are we not trying to sign one alongside a physical centre midfielder?! We were roasted down that side today.

They’re the two positions we’re absolutely crying out for signings in. Hopefully Baleba is done but we desperately need a new right back. It’s staring us in the face.

Veltman!

Veltman!

Is the correct answer

 

[Farehamseagull]

Veltman!

Personally think we need a younger and better RB but yes, playing him there would be a lot better than Milner or Gross.

How about this guy:


Pretty sure RDZ and the club have not given up on him.

But Veltman very rarely lets us down, a brilliant defender and team player (CB’s and RW can rely on him).

We need someone of that quality at least.

Veltman!

Don’t understand why he is not starting

I really, really hope he comes back and gets some form together, but it's been two and a half years now since he has had a good run without getting injured. I wouldn't be surprised if he's sold or loaned out next week unfortunately.

aware naylor has posted that he’s not leaving, but that aside, to me he’s just not the same player anymore. can’t string together a decent run if fitness, has lost a yard of pace since the injury, which was his big weapon. he’s never been that much of a great dribbler or crosser, and he’s suspect defensively.

Never forgot that Newcastle game, a distant memory.

True

It's more than a little odd there have been so few rumours about signing a new right full-back as it's obviously an area we need to strengthen. At the moment we don't have a first choice there but rather 3 back-ups. I don't get it.

Very accurately summed up. Aside from the injury taking that yard of pace for RDZ his passing is not perhaps good enough and he will give away possession.

I get the impression based on the Sporting Lisbon/Lamptey rumours in January, that we might have looked to sell this summer (benefiting Lamptey and us), but the injury made that difficult.

I like Joel Veltman and would rather see him fill the void at right back than either Gross or Milner, both much better utilized elsewhere, but Veltman's stock in trade is as a right sided centre back, and he isn't the type to go on marauding runs along the right wing.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I too am completely baffled by veltman being left out.

A player who has either been good, very good, or terrific in near enough every game he's played for us.

Lamptey can then get the chance to prove his fitness and ability when cup games start coming round.

Whatever, let's not play full backs who are very slow or are actually center mids

I quite agree with your final point, for a Premier League club about to commence their first season in european competition it's b affling to say the least why we don't seem willing, or able, to sign one single custom made right back.

As far as Lamptey is concerned, l'm going to go out on a limb and say, l think that long term injury will put paid to his carrer here at Brighton. I hope l'm wrong.

The Veltman/Milner debate is the kind of topic I’d hope a journalist queries RDZ on just so we can get an idea of his thinking.

Wasn’t that at Ajax?

For us, he’s mainly been a RB. Stats websites state that.

And a fkn brilliant one, I love him and he saves wildlife
