I'd like to give a big shout out for JV, been absolutely class this season, one of the unsung hero's of the team.
[Albion] Joel Veltman.

How soon is now?
Won’t go down as our best signing ever, but can’t be any question that he has been our best VFM transfer in

Spurs fans up in arms when we signed him they couldn’t believe he went to us.

Never less than a 7 out of 10. I'm struggling to think of a clanger from him as well.
Absolute class.

Our best defender. Every game
A brilliant player and master of defensive dark arts, my 2020/21 and 2021/22 POTS.
Overnight our long-term Achilles Heel at RB was solved.

Someone on here (sorry, can't remember who it was) said he never goes missing. Nail on head.

Plays with his heart on his sleeve each and every time he is on the pitch. Really we as fans can't ask for more than that.

Always been up there as one of our best players, in my opinion. Also has a magnificent six pack.

I don't understand how he can't even get in the Netherlands squad. I know they have a lot of talent, but he was the best Dutch defender on the pitch today

Proper footballer. I can’t believe we picked up a player of his class so cheaply. When he signed it appeared he came as a rejected bit player, way below the premier league parapet. First class honours to the scouting team because now he’s known about he’d walk into most premier league squads. I don’t quite understand why he’s not in the Dutch squad because he really does deserve to be.
He has featured regularly in the Dutch squad over the years. I guess a new coach comes in and has to make their mark. Maybe Veltman was associated with failed Dutch teams too. Also, there are a fair few top class Dutch defenders around.
THe best VFM debate [gross v Veltman) is a good one. I’d go Veltman. He’s been incredibly consistent ever since he got in the team. Gross is having a superb season but has had more poor spells.

He is so good, you don't notice him on the pitch.

I agree with this, so I understand, they have De Ligt, and Van Dyke back there. De Vris and Ake are ok. But Jurien Timber is keeping him out at RCB. Hmm, I'm amazed he's not in that squad, not least because he's versatile

IMO could have been POTS last year. Always difficult to appreciate a defender who is not good at attacking but he certainly has been very consistently good. Carried the defence over the last 2 years when other defenders have been out injured or out of form.
He's probably the most "sung" unsung hero we've ever had [emoji38]
But only on NSC. He's completely under the radar in general sports media, which is crazy, he's been so good for us ever since he joined.
Those Ajax fans (a minority I'm sure) who laughed at us when we signed him are mental.

POTS last year, only lost because he has a boring hair cut
Our best defender this last few years, stays fit and strong.
A genuine all time Albion legend
