[Albion] Jan Paul van Hecke - contracted to June 2027

[BBassic]

If he stays with us he's a future club captain I reckon.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

He was described as a novice and bound to cost us points when he emerged last season.

Now he's almost a full international and we are pondering which of the mega clubs will take him off our hands in the next window.

Funny old game, football.

Is it a 'good thing' to be on that list? No Liverpool, Chelsea, ManUre Arsenal or Citeh player among the huffers and puffers of Everton and suchlike.

I assume you are being sarcastic, because the account is called 'The other 14' so discounts including the big six in its charts.

Not sarcastic. Just stupid. I missed that bit. Apologies.

there was a lovely image on reddit, just titled Giants, which made our 2 giants looking Ominous:

I can recommend a good lens cleaner.

Great news, really well deserved. Please don't get injured, please don't get injured, please don't get injured.

Not yet he isn't.

Since the mid 90's he's up there with Danny Cullip and Paul McCarthy as one of my favourite CBs who aren't Lewis Dunk.

Have I missed anyone?

I personally loved Upson, also Dunk and Duffy were the best Albion duo of recent time. But it’s your list.

That can't be more than a year away.

Simon Morgan?

Good shout. I would have him in a Duffy, Buttersy group of standing ... Though a different style of CB

almost....but, yes....not quite yet

JP is way better than Duffy

We wouldn't have had a JP at Chump level Duffy was spot on at the time. . . . . JPVH is the new van Dijk . . . He may well end up replacing him for next season, if the price is right.

Would loved to have seen Duffy try to turn Haaland inside out in our own box

He's kicked on sensationally in the last 12-18 months, it's been glorious to see. He was legitimately behind Colwill when we had him, and it doesn't feel like that long ago that JPvH's name on the team sheet would make me feel a bit nervy. Now it's more like "we'll be alright, Van Hecke's playing" whoever our opponent is.

Slightly earlier, but it was Doug ‘Evil’ Rougvie for me. A one season legend!
