Good point, although there must have been some crap Ian in berween that we're forgetting.
Links have gone quiet on Ian Acho from Leicester

Not seen much of him but it's a popular signing which is good. Welcome Ian.

As I mentioned before, I am absolutely delighted with this signing. Especially now it's been announced.

He has pace, ability on the ball, loves to get forward, has good crossing, can pass, can tackle & still has massive amounts of potential to grow into over the next decade at Villa.

I think that with Maatsen at LWB, Iling-Junior & Ramsey at LM, With Rogers to also cover LM, thats an exciting, attacking, pacy left side for opposition defences to have to worry about.

Not sure what we plan to do with LWB cover, other than maybe Iling-Junior. I don't think selling both Digne & Moreno is a good idea & if Im honest, Im torn on who I would like to keep around as both have their issues, along with their plus points.

I trust the club to make the right choice though.

Either way, Im delighted with Maatsen...

[Percy McCarthy]

He inverts like Udogie too.

[Dogtanian]

Yeah, our left side will be something to fear.

With Digne and Moreno, I get the feeling that they will sell whichever gets a deal in place.

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.

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?

😂😂😂😍

Welcome Ian, please be outstanding.

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

Maat is in Egyptian mythologi goddness and steward of truth, justice and order.

Ptah for that.

[AV84]

I see he made Championship team of the season when at Burnley, and then Champions League team of the season last year. Hopefully there'll be no real adjustment for the Premier Leagur required.

[DrGonzo]

I have a feeling about this one.  I think this will turn out to be a good bit of business.  Please feel free to copy and paste this in my face in 2 years time XD

[Dogtanian]

The greatest Ian in the Prem, currently.
