    So glad he signed a new contract with us.

    Hes vital in defence. i have never seen such a good, young full back.
    Unsung hero in many matches. Now that Forrest is back i cant wait to see them both tearing away on the wing.

    No idea but the Cardiff fans were raging at the fact they let another top player go for nothing. Can see why now.

    I would agree with you about playing Matthews at left back and Lustig at right back for now in up coming big games. Think that might be our best full back pairing when we play Juventus.

    I'm pretty sure Jones the daft * kept playing him at left back aswell,and im sure they got pumped rotten 1 game and young Mathews who was still only 18 at the time took most of the blame,oh well Cardiff's lose is very much our gain cracking player :50:

    Seems to be developing physically now as well, which was the last thing he needed to add really.

    He is a top quality right wing back.

    Just met him on the flight to Bristol. Had a laugh with him about missing with that shot as I had a £5 on him to score first goal.

    He just laughed and said it was close. Must be going back home for a wee visit.

    With Super Joe Ledley's awful haircut, Matthews is fast becoming my favourite Bhoy.

    No, but seriously though, what a talent, eh?

    I wonder how long Celtic holds on to this guy? No question EPL clubs will be knockin' at the door soon, if not already.

    Possible player of the season for me.

    Mani, I'd say Zabaleta, Ivanovoc, Maicon and a couple others are. But he does play consistantly to a very high level.

    There are a few but he is good enough to be held up with the best of them.

    He's not the best in Britain.

    He's very good though :50:

    He will be playing at a club like Arsenal or Man utd eventually if he keeps going the way he is. Hopefully we can hold onto him for a good few years yet though. I remember United were supposedly close to signing him for £5m when he first came on the scene. If he was worth that much then, how much is he worth now? Think some fans might underestimate how much of an asset he is. Especially with all the hype surrounding Wanyama and Hooper's price tags.

    Have you watched him this season? Widely regarded as one of the best full backs in Europe at the minute.

    Yes, but for Alves he would be Brazil's right back.
