Late yesterday, here at Vital Luton Town, we reported on the confirmation that Matt Macey had become the third Luton signing of the summer transfer window.
Our article – and-macey-makes-it-three – only contained the bare bones of the deal but it appears there has been mixed reaction, on social media to this latest signing.
As you’d expect, the Luton support have been very supportive of the deal, as the following comments show:
An excellent addition to the goalkeeper ranks. I suspect we may see one more…

It’s decent, some fans won’t be happy but trust the recruitment team 100%

Trust the recruitment. Likely improved massively from 5 years ago, could be crucial for us in years to come

Bur north of the border it is a very different reaction, with the Hibernian support suggesting the Hatters have made an error in their dealings:
100k for him, additional fees and a sell on clause, ur clubs hierarchy is horrendous 😂😂😂

Luton fans. I can only give you sympathy and good luck 😉

He's run of the mill. Won't be missed with us signing Marshall. Still young. Would worry if he's your number 1 though.

Now, normally, the comments left by supporters of a player’s team are congratulatory, quite why the Hibs support seem so anti baffles me.
Sat here, in the editorial chair, my view is that Macey should be given our support and our backing as he settles into an environment he’s sampled before but one that has changed so very much since he was last with us, my judgement will be reserved until he’s played a dozen or so games for us.

Luton – Your Favourite Signing So Far
I wonder how many games those luton supporters saw him play. I saw him a dozen times an those hibs supporters are right Scottish prem games without celtc rangers an Aberdeen are national league standard. When the big three play its like lge 1. So he’s going to be really on the ball from the start. Will he be our no1 to start? If we can’t get another keeper in I say yes. If we do then probably he will. But let’s see what happens.I still say that that something went on behind the scenes else why did he take so long to sign. That worries me as to his commitment. Or is he a naismith an here for the money?
have some trust in the recruitment team. we can be negative about any players, lets see how they perform first. wish everone would get over naismiths move. n.j. has explained his departure, get over it, naismiths doing whats best for his family. COYH.
Jimbo it’s nothing to do with the team it’s that doughty took 5 days to sign woodrow 3 days. He says he couldn’t wait to sign yet took 3 weeks football is full of hypocrisy. That an the standard of football he’s been playing national league to lge1 worries me.
I see Scottish papers have taken up the theme that macey wasn’t very good in his tenure at hibs rating him poorly against other hibs keepers. Having seen him a dozen times last year endorses my opinion of him. How many on here have seen him recently as many as I have I bet less than a handful so I know what I’ve seen an stand by it!!!!
