Popular Post Powehi Posted July 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2021 Agreed - but as it is, he is a perfect left-footed backup to Mings. Never complains about not playing regularly, great header of the ball, gives 8/10 performances when he does play (at least since start of 2021). 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I hope we are trying to train him him to get headers on target Best headerer of a ball since Laursen, absolute magnet on his head, at the back doing his day job he's brilliant at it, attacking though I think we can get him better and turn him in to a real threat at set pieces 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings and even Konsa should be getting goals from corners and indirect fee kicks too, we need to be more threatening to the opposition. Is it more a case of poor delivery?

Yep, a backup CB who never moans, groans or becomes disruptive and can fill in and do the job adequately, at least, is of great benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just because defending anywhere will do half the time, the battle is winning the ball not necessarily having to then aim it somewhere We're great at defensive headers, pretty shit at scoring them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konsa gets on the end of plenty, odd goal and far more wayward finishes but he's been far more of a threat at set pieces in last year compared to Mings which I can't really work out.

Smith never hesitates to use Hause if the first 2 are injured instead of putting a midfielder or full back at centre back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I thought he was excellent last season. He fits us, we fit him. Why change? Lets get him signed! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Talk of Besiktas being interested in him. I would prefer to keep him. As others have said above, he has been good when called upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) to be honest i have always been impressed with him when he has come in to the team. Im not sure he will dislodge Konsa or Mings, but tbh i think he's a very capable backup, we should 100% extend his contract via the option, and/or offer him a new contract. tbh, i was super impressed with him when he came in towards the end of last season, he was a rock, and as mentioned above, his head is like a magnet for crosses and long balls. Amazingly, last season, our record when he was in the starting 11 was W 4, D 2, L 1. Edited July 23, 2021 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can aim much higher than the Turkish league, he's more than good enough to start for a bottom half Premier league side, especially in one that sets up to defend. Wins everything in the air, the likes of Bruce would love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 In the air, he’s fantastic, the best headerer of a ball we’ve had for a long time. I wouldn’t blame him if he wanted to move on for first team football, he’s great back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 In the last year of his deal however I feel we're probably in a good position with him, if we can get £8m-£10m from West Ham and invest that into another CB (which looks like may be happening anyway) it is great business since we got him so cheap from Wolves. That said, he is also a good player and I'd be happy to see him sign an extension, absolute unit in the air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Is Issa Diop any good still? I'm pretty sure he was highly rated a while ago but never plays much for West Ham anymore. Perhaps get him in a swop? I'd be surprised if we let Hause go as he's a perfect back up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
