"We've made a decision to sign him because we think he's a really good signing for the future of this club. "That's why we've tried to strengthen the squad in winter break and the player you mentioned (Geertruida), in the end, wasn't available. But it should be possible that we're not gonna sign players that are not good enough to play for this club."
