Ian Maatsen

[Risso]

I always like two goalkeepers on the bench as it lets you do better drills in the warm ups before a game.

I try and make sure I'm in the ground early to watch.

[Drummond]

I appreciate the club's assistance to help me drink half as much as I'd like so I can concentrate on it.

[coreyfeldman]

Half way through the season and cannot see what he's bringing to the team, barely getting on the pitch. Why did we sign him for so much money?

[aj2k77]

Some kind of ffp arrangement with Chelsea?

[Drummond]

He's the future.

[VillaTim]

Odd signing , big money, little prescene , short , I know it was part of the kellyman cooking the books deal so maybe that's it

I like Maatsen and would agree, he's definitely more of one for the future, but I also don't understand why, if we were in such a tight PSR spot (see that interview Monchi did where he was talking about how close it was getting the Luiz sale done - think it was in an Athletic article) we opted to spend over 30m on a player in a position where we already had options (and Digne has been excellent this season).

You could say similar about Onana. Another good player, but the sort that we needed to drop 50m on at that point in time?

And I appreciate we signed Ned, but if he too is one for the future, why weren't we thinking about the here and now - Cash is the best example of a player who is just not good enough for where we now want to be, and Konsa at RB is at the very best "an option", certainly not ideal.

The future's bright, the future's Oranje.

[RamboandBruno]

Dignes brilliantly solid, but when Emery first came, the Moreno/Ramsey left hand attacking axis, was the fulcrum that drove us forwards.

Given Ramsey is back, i’d throw Maatsen in now for a few games

[VillaTim]

He's the future.

He's certainly not the present

[eamonn]

We needed to focus more on the present last summer. Like fixing our ravaged, red, right hand-side.

He's the future.

Havent you go abroad yet Tim?

Well, not abroad, but Inveraray is in Scotland
