Maatsen signed for Chelsea in 2018.

Yes, that is correct. Adi left in 2017. So didn't coach him, but probably knew of him. Wouldn't surprise me if he was involved in looking at new players to join the setup and Maatsen may have been in the pipeline.

He's just played almost a full season in League One. I know some people only watch their own club but safe to say plenty have heard of him & have seen him play.

You list Premier League experience (of 2 games) for Mason as to why you think he’s better/as good? I would say it’s meaningless

It's brilliant news, as we have signed someone who actually plays left back for a start and means we wont need to play someone out of position there. He was also linked to better Championship teams, and is clearly in Chelseas plans to get into their first team eventually.

That doesn't really matter does it?

There'll inevitably be academy/development staff at Chelsea who would've worked alongside Adi and his time in charge of the development squad will likely be remembered.

Whilst that obviously doesn't automatically mean we're in front of the queue for their brightest young stars I suspect he's able to get his foot in the door easier than most to get information on who's available or if they recommend anyone that might be a good fit.

Granted people over-egg the Chelsea link but through Adi we'll certainly have a rapport at the very least.

I couldn’t give a fuck if the full backs aren’t tall, their job is to get up and down the flank, not win headers

No, I thought that was one of the reasons we were off loading him, as he was being picked out for the long diagonal pass, and getting roasted too often in the air, but who knows.

Feel Mason suffered when we stuck with wing backs rather than a flat back four, otherwise I dont think he did too bad here, and I'd certainly wish him luck and hope he secures the move.

Height matters a lot more in a back 4 than at wing back. Not saying it is completely irrelevant but the idea is that your starting position is high enough up that strikers won’t pull onto you, and there’s the cover provided by the wide centre back. I don’t see it being much of an issue.

That was my opinion as well and he was very good in the flat back 4 but when the system was changed he suffered plus the 4-0 at Rotherham I thought that affected him a lot.

Looks like we’ll be needing a new RWB as well then…

Yeh this isnt to do with ability, old Ryan over there has flashed him a few quid to drop down a level, promotion year for them.

Why?
He has never played at this level, he's the same height as Warwick Davis, hes been released as its school holidays, and he hasnt even started shaving yet!

I dont want to piss on anyones fire, and I'll reserve judgement until I've at least seen him play (that's a novel idea!) But honestly, what the fuck makes it Brilliant news?

Honestly, we are in the process of off loading a lad who is the same sort of height, and played at premier league level, to replace him with a Chelsea youth player who even division 1 Charlton fans dont seem to rate!
Again, How is that Brilliant?

The Charlton Fans i’ve talked to said he’s brilliant tbf, they would’ve had him back.

Luton have done a great job filling up their gaps and bringing in ambitious signings.

This new guy Ian looks pretty decent, but is he starter quality? We should definitely be looking for an older option on free after we sign him, but where does that leave Reid?

Can we please call him Maatsen rather than Ian. 'Sky Blues complete Ian transfer' does nothing for me.

Really don't know on Chima
It seems that guys who come on trial rarely work out anywhere
Never understood it personally. Seems to be a prejudice against trialists in the game
That's why many players won't go on trial
Cashman? Haven't heard anything but doesn't mean it won't happen

Funny the apprehension by some on here about Ian Maatsen joining despite having 34 games under his belt yet were possibly salivating re. Billy Gilmour coming here who has only played a handful of games and one decent performance for the sweaties.

Usually when a player comes to my club i like to refer to them by their first name because they’re closer to my heart than any other bloke (if that makes sense), but i guess you’re right in the sense that he hasn’t joined up yet. Maatsen it is !
