Definitely fits our model of young and hungry and talented. One of the best players we have, and probably the best young player in the Championship, very highly rated, chose to come to us (like most of our incoming players) over Premiership teams as we could guarantee him playing time, and not bench warming, all our players are for sale, but not cheap, and we are prepared to sell them on when we have developed them, that's our main source of income due to a small ground capacity, it's our built in survival policy, but this could all change when we move to our new ground next year. He's a joy to watch, and still learning, he will only get better, a future full international player? Contracted until 2021 + 1 year extension, so he won't come cheap, Dean Smith will be aware of that. If you do get him, it will be a great investment. 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's alot of money. Says "pending medical". Although why would he need a medical after spending half a season with us which just ended? Sounds too early to be surfacing but the figures sounds spot on and doesn't surprise me. In fact it sounds cheap in context. Not sure if medicals are needed for loans (depends on terms, they usually return to the parent club) but clearly are needed by insurers for permanent deals?

He looks a very good player to me, especially for one so young. I'd be interested to see what kind of fee might be mentioned and how much we'd be willing to part with to get him.

"Undisclosed" by the club, but It's rumoured that we paid about £3 million for him, so you could get him for in between £6-£10 million, a snip at that price, as he would be a good long term investment, I would rather we keep him and sell Maupay for £20 million instead.

Balotelli is out of contract too..... Sounds like the striker equivalence of Richards and Lescott. There is a reason they are both available on a free.

AshVilla Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 After looking at Konsa's obligatory youtube vid he looks a carbon copy of Tuanzebe, strong, reads game well and brings the ball out of defence but not very good in the air. If we can't get Tuanzebe for 10 mill i'd tempt Brentford with a bid for Konsa instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the sort of character that suits the PL. Reminds me a bit of Diego Costa. Maupay couldn't lace Drogba's boots imo. Rather we sign a striker who is proven at the top instead of someone who has played in a mid table Championship team and would cost a fortune 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can certainly see why we'd be looking at him if £6-£10m is the asking price. He fits the profile. Any move would depend on if we get Tuanzebe or Mings on permanent deals and how much they would cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted May 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Belotti? Yes please. About as likely as a handjob from the queen though. Edited May 29, 2019 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 15million pound investment. A medical will be required for insurance purposes, and to ensure he's not likely to retire after we spend 15m on him!

Sorry i read Drogba instead of Costa. Still drunk from Monday Still, rather we go for proven striker. its the one position in the team that makes and breaks teams that go up. Its why they cost so much money relative to other positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
