Maarten Stekelenburg, Fulham
Maarten Stekelenburg
A World Cup finalist and a first choice for the Dutch national team, Stekelenburg joined Fulham from Roma for fee of about 6 million pounds. At the age of 30, and with over 50 caps for Netherlands, Stekelenburg brings a lot of experience with him, and seems to be an upgrade on the departing Mark Schwarzer.
Stekelenburg will add much needed assurance and solidity to a fragile Fulham defence, which more often rolled over in favour of their opposition last season. Stekelenburg can look forward to using Fulham as a stepping stone. With a season or two of solid goalkeeping with Fulham, Stekelenburg can look forward to the bigger clubs in England, a path illustrated before by his more celebrated compatriot, Edwin Van der Sar.
