[Sexual Ealing]

Seems like a quiet guy.

Reading up on him he was from a quiet little town growing up, so he's probably a bit of a naive bumpkin at heart, like Sexual Ealing.

He knows he has the body of a weak and feeble winger; but he has the heart and stomach of a lad who works on the roads filling in potholes, and delivers for the village Chinese takeaway at weekends.

Malen also said in his interview on the OS that they had been messaging during negotiations and he was impressed by what Maatsen said about the club.

"And for just £150 a ticket you eat as many hot dogs and fries as possible, in an old prison cell!"

Very good.

So on the bench for tonight? Just going on them eating breakfast in the video so we much have signed him before 12 yesterday, or was Monday the cut-off.

I was scared he was going to do his ligaments coming down those stairs at the end.

It'll be just him on the bench if it's tomorrow.

Doh, I was going to post that Emery mentioned about "the videos for tomorrow" and then decided to leave that bit out but that part was still on my mind.

Love the part where Unai is about to pass Donny by without realising it's him. And then saying "Ok! Ok!" multiple times with a couple of slaps to the man boobs/Villa crest. That Emery, what a character!

If that had been Paqueta getting a slap to the chest, he would have dropped to the floor faster than a sack of potatoes.

It's actually mad that real-life introductory meet and greets with new colleagues is recorded and shared these days. Not sure how the lads, particularly our new signing, really feel about that. The parts recording close-ups of his fitness check feels particularly invasive!

I wonder how Dalian welcomed Dariusz Kubicki back in the day. A wedgie and a wet sock across the mush? With the club archivist trying in vain to capture it all on a handi-cam that weighed a few kilos.

That has made me titter.

Bit worried about the footwear he was carrying. Less grip than the slippers Bailey has taken to wearing.

As long as he wasn't carrying it in a plastic bag. The last guy who did that didn't work out that great.

Good to think Maatsen is bigging us up even while he's not getting a whole lot of playing time.

So is Duran going to be sold? 

[Toronto Villa]

No
