Ian Maatsen

[PaulWinch again]

Massively helps the age profile at left back too. I assume one of Digne or Moreno is off, and I’d assume it’s the latter.

[olaftab]

Ian, welcome. Don’t be just good be great.

[Villan82]

That is left back sorted for the rest of this decade! What a signing.

[Demitri_C]

My chelsea mate text me saying thanka for the 37.5m for our 3rd choice left back that will help us with FFP.

I really hope maatsen shows what they are missing. I mean their left backs are injury prone chillwell  and cucrella who ia shite.

It’s the same sort of thing that gets some of our fans suggesting selling Doug is a positive.

Yeah im personally gutted he is going. He is going to be very difficult to replace.  If it was 95% of any other manager id be worried but i trust unai

Welcome Ian, please be outstanding.

It’s an unusual name for a Dutch man. Or maybe it isn’t.

There seem to be nineteen active Dutch Ians playing football. I reckon we've got the best one, though.

Nineteen active Dutch Ians was the reason for my uncle’s discharge. They also threw him out of the army.

And what ever happened to the 47 ginger-headed sailors?

[Steve67]

Welcome Ian. Hope you win lots of medals.

[Ian.]

Welcome to Villa Ian, been a while since we’ve had such a great name.

Hope you said thanks for the 40 million for our tenth choice midfielder in 2024 and sixth choice midfielder in 2022. And every club they take managers from once a year say thanks for all the compo. Now fuck off back to your hamlet in Surrey where stockbrokers go to die.

He may not be your mate after all that but Villa first, right?

[Toronto Villa]

Is it too much to ask for our new LB to be given the number 3 shirt and not have it belong to a reserve CB?

[Matt C]

Excellent. First of what I’m expecting to be three Champions League-ready now signings.

[Dogtanian]

Grrr.

Woke up to a text from my 6ft 4 mate complaining that 5’ 10 is not a positive attribute.

I’m 5’ 10!   

[PaulWinch again]

Giant compared to my 5’9!

[Tayls_7]

Yes, I  think all the best Full Backs across the ages have been at least 6'4".

[Scratchins]

Erm, see Roberto Carlos
