That is the problem when you are not fit. I am pretty sure most football experts put him above Tosin and Chalobah.

Even when Fofana was fit, he wasn't doing anything impressive. His game has always been full of errors. He's too reckless.

Ive got a good feeling about this fella. We might have a gem here.😎

I promise you, Hato will be in the top 10 defenders in Europe. (Injury permitting)

And an injury magnet.

Just read he reinjured his knee and needs the fluid drained.

Proper bullet dodged.

You think we’ll pass on the signing? Wonder the severity of the fluid in knee relative to knee structure. Could be something as simple as a cyst (hopefully).

Pretty sure Sconnie was referring to Calafiori so no worries there.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I feared another Fofana for a moment. Really excited for Hato.

On official site now

Welcome Jorrel and good luck.

Welcome to the club. Great signing. We needed the left sided version of Gusto, so to speak. Different type of player with his versatility. He looks quality, young, and brings leadership and character.

Love this signing. Can’t wait to see him play in blue.

Get in thereer

Potentially a very good signing - time will tell !

Oh god, now I'll have those annoying A**x supporters on my back everytime he's not playing. It will be Ziyech all over again.

Not sure he is a left sided gusto, I think he is more of a cb than a lb

Gonna say something that may be controversial, but I think the Club World Cup badge is ugly. You have the Nike logo next to a giant circle next to the slightly smaller circle that is our club badge, it just looks out of place. If it was smaller or a different shape, then I think it would look better.

Personally, I think this one looked much better.

That wc badge is just so uglyyy.

Our newest away white kit is probably our best looking one in ages until you add wc badge. 😱😱

If they removed that rather tacky gold background it might work a bit better (anyone good on photoshop ?) but agree it all makes the front of the shirt look very cluttered, and let's not forget that there is also a shirt sponsor logo to add to the mix in due course !

I agree with you. Looks like a peel on sticker for coming first in the egg and spoon race at a summer fete

Agree - I wasn’t clear. I meant by age and role in squad at this stage in his career. A quality understudy if you will, that I’m sure will show immediate first team quality. I thought he had played more Lb last season, but something to keep an eye on.

I'm not sure even our Commercial team could f**k it up when we are back in the Champions League and are also the FIFA World Club Champions ... but having typed that ... 😎

Are we selling Tosin then ?

Need my coffee

I think it's a smart move by A**x. They've been abysmal for a few years now, with Hato not really standing out (positively or negatively). Two years ago their technical director (Mislintat) completely wasted all the money A**x had accumulated over the years, and they've been a rough spot ever since.

A**x have always been able to sell for a lot of money, especially compared to the rest of the teams in the Eredivisie. I think they decided to make a very young, but pretty average player captain in the hope it would lead to a big money sale, so they can rebuild. I fear we took the bait.
