His speed is fine? If you have good defensive awareness and positioning ability you don't really need a lot of raw pace to keep up. He did fine against Haaland and Nunez, so I don't see the issue?
I agree. And she actually asked Ten Hag some good tactical questions after the match.
I see this trotted out a lot. I didn’t watch him against Nunez but I did see them against Dortmund, and Haaland missed 3 big chances. It’s classic results based analysis, if Haaland converted them no one would be saying things like this.
Looking at the videos he’s not slow by any means
Don't know much about him but from what I've read he's quick enough that we won't be talking about his pace.
People also said that Maguires lack of pace wouldn't be a problem, or Lukaku's shit first touch or AWB being poor on the ball.
Hopefully he doesn’t miss Whoville
With the way Bailly has showed up so far in pre-season, Martinez and Bailly as starters?
Until Bailly gets injured again
Until Bailly gets injured again
Very true
So for one game? Or until he has a lapse in concentration and does something stupid…which is also one game.
Of course he might be fine and I’m not worried. I was merely saying that 5-9 is very small for a CB in response to a post that gave instructions on how to measure 3 inches as if that somehow made a difference. 5-9 is “only” 3 inches less than six foot but most CBs are 6-3 these days.
But, hey, if he can out-jump everyone then his height is irrelevant.

How were any of those chances down to Martinez lacking pace? As far as I recall Timber was the one struggling to keep up and stay on him?
Looking like martinez and Maguire/lindelof. Bailly and Varane are just unreliable at the minute. They’ll probably play about 10 games between them this season.
Ultra clean, bar the basket of cleaning supplies.
He looks tiny.
What’s with the weird bag? He looks like a cleaner
He looks so small
And slow, just look at these steps. Baby steps. That bag on top makes it a poor signing
What the heck is he carrying there? 
Just think of the leg room he'll have on that flight.
christ, he's like a man but smaller

Anyone know what he earned at Ajax?
Damn. I imagined it was them two. Neither of them should play there, I do think they both could play one side of a double pivot with a Fred or someone else next to them.
Is he really that slow?
I don’t think so, seems like he’d excel in a Ten Hag system, just need a disciplined CM who would cover him if he pushes forward.
His point is that if Haaland were on they would have lost and people wouldn’t claim that he did fine. It’s tough though, in my opinion a tough defense or defender throws attackers off enough that they miss chances they normally would make.
Like above I don’t think so. Bially will play a big part this season. Especially if we go there at the back ever.
Holds his thermos and another drink- probably nutritional
Apparently the tiny private jet is meant for dwarfs
Anyone found his flight yet?
I can see no private jets at Schipol at the moment

No, he's just far awayHe looks so small
Most people in Netherlands are 12ft tall, that’s why.He looks so small
That's a mini isn't it
Feck me he's small.Found him VVT162
Aye, indeed!

Are the Ajax fans as sensitive as the Everton fans? Remember when they started to hate Moyes because of him wanting former players.

Between him and Varane we might have the most handsome potential CB partnership in the league
Maguire, Lindelof and VaraneWhat the heck is he carrying there?
