He was signed as a central defender, and we were told from Ajax he cdould also play as a defensive midfielder. He struggled in the first half of the season with a knee problem, but with the new coach Abel Resino he started to play as a right back. With his new position Atlético got something like 13 wins in the last 15 matches or something like that.

He is a bit slow and can suffer with fast strikers, but is a very good header (can score 5+ goals) and has a very good long pass.

What fee is Everton going to pay? We had to pay Ajax 10 million € only last summer.

We paid around 7m euro if reports are true. Do you think it's justified? How slow is he?

Madrid's player of the year last year.....saying he's "slow" might do him a dis-service.

Seems to be that he'd struggle with pacy players - ie long balls and one on one runs.

But so can Hibbert and Jags. From what I've seen I think Heitinga is a clever player, knows he's strengths and weaknesses and uses them to his advantage.

Will be a boss signing IMO.
