The point I'm making is that he's only as good as the defence in front of him, and vice versa. It's no real surprise that he's had his better seasons for us when we've had a better defence. Expand Absolutely. Quite apart from his form, his attributes are incompatible with the guys in front of him and the system we play. He/they have not been a good fit. He started off well, when he first signed, but his form this season has been poor. The defence has had to alter its gamplean to compensate for his lack of height and weakness in the air. That said, our defence and midfield haven't gven him the cover a keeper is entitled to. Best for both parties if he moves on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Nothing about his age but the fact as you say he has had the same recurring injury a calf one that's kept him out for 60 days in total on and off last season screams to to me it's the last thing we need. However a defender like Hutchy is 100 percent what we need just not one that's injury prone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand You don’t have to actually say it to ‘say it’. We’ve seen this script far too many times with us bringing back McFadden and giving him game time when he was clearly done, yet he could do no wrong in the eyes of some fans. The same applies to Moult during his ill fated loan spell in 2022 and I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever it would be the same with van Veen should he come back over a year older, unfit and contributing next to nothing. We as a club need to learn to look forward not backwards when it comes to recruitment. Kevin van Veen has had his time with us, it was great while it lasted but it’s done, it’s past and we move on, or at least we should move on. Here’s a novel idea, instead of trying to re-sign Kevin van Veen, Shaun Hutchinson(that one really would take the biscuit and fucking choke on it btw) and other popular ex players, why don’t we try and find new players who could hopefully contribute what KvV and Shaun Hutchinson etc did when they were younger, fitter and able to offer us more? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
