Micky van de Ven

Been wonderful. Great to see him get a match winner too.

Great fit to our system perhaps making him look even better than he is (clearly a good thing). Him being such a good player and such a good fit along with his age. Great combo.

Obviously should be untouchable in the transfer market.

Did people really bitch? Tapsoba was the guy we got linked with initially but a great deal wasn't known about either defender.

I think your memory is a bit fuzzy and you're thinking about Vicario who was the one the fans thought was the cheap inferior option to the reported prime target Raya.

In the end both guys we went with were good choices.

Taposoba would have been class too I’m sure
He has been brilliant this season
Our fans bitch about every signing
There is already noise on teletext that we aren’t getting Lloyd Kelly or Toisin
But there is also counter noise that they wouldn’t start… are they better than what we have… play the kids.. etc…
The reality is we buy who we buy and and seek who we sell
A sensible club has multiple options lined up and makes choices
We wanted Tapsoba and VdV and went for the one that was most attainable I assume
Micky is fully brought into the club and we now have a top top CB (who needs to learn to head a ball) and we go forward

As I heard it at the time, we went for the one Ange wanted most. VdV.

Been said before I think, but the difference between and number two on that list is as big as the difference between number two and number ten... Truly standout.

Stats/tidbits like that should always be seen with some scepticism. But this one just matches with what we all can see every game. And it's not just top speed, we've seen players with good top speed before look slow. He has the acceleration and agility too.

Deja vu of a deja vi just watching him again and again just motor past someone to clear a dangerous looking situation.

I don't think we've even seen him at top speed yet, most opponents take about half a dozen strides and give up because they can see he is out stripping them and still has another gear.

Or stands out because you can see it, and see it clearly

Players give up the chase now which is quite scary
