skarroki Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 This is not an indication of who he's signed but who has signed for the club whilst he was manager. However, obviously the transfer committee at each club you would suspect would be looking to bring in players that better suit the style of play Emery wants. You can make your own mind up about the type of defenders these players are but I would say that Konsa would fit into this lineup of names: Adil Rami (twice) Victor Ruiz Daniel Carrico Federico Fazio William Saliba David Luiz Sokratis Jorge Cuenca One thing that has struck me is how few central defensive transfers he's made throughout his career.

burchy Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Apologies if this has been talked about previously but as I’ve only just seen them on the new training pics I just wondered what the story was with regards to the scars on Konsa’s right shoulder/upper arm as they don’t look like surgery scars to me.

It was just I’d never seen or heard anything about him having such scars before so asked the question. If it’s not common knowledge then that’s cool.

sne Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Honestly not a fan. He's not terrible but he's too flawed to be a starter IMO. Looked extra slow today as well. I hope neither him nor Mings are starting CB's for us next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Konsa looks like he’s lost a step or two in pace, I can’t remember him being this slow. I know Nunez is pretty quick but it’s embarrassing to be outpaced by someone after you’ve had a head start. He didn’t look like he was engaged at points in the game either.

Made In Aston Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 If Emery ball is going to work then Konsa will have to be replaced. I think he is a good player but not the quick ball playing CB we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Farlz Posted December 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2022 You'd imagine he'll be replaced once Diego Carlos is back fit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it would be nice. Mings still has value for us but there are CBs out there better suited for Emerys system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I thought Konsa was meant to be rapid, but he got done for pace at one point. Bit concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Ridiculously slow, this won't work in the modern game. For the third goal, he literally started " sprinting " well in advance of Nunez and still lost him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Nunez to be fair is absolutely rapid, one of the fastest strikers about. Got absolutely tormented today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 He had a superb season when no crowds were let in...but even then he would be done by a ball over the top of his shoulder for a striker in behind. Still gets done by that too easily now. Similarly to Watkins, he's probably ok for where we are, but will need to improve for us to go any further. That or be replaced.

AVTuco Posted December 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2022 A very good number 3-4 CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Impressed today I thought. Used the ball much more than Mings which isn't the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STO Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I thought he was poor, in fact, I honestly wonder what has happened to this player over the last couple of years. He seemed destined to get in to the international set up not so long ago but his positioning has got worse and he looks less than confident at the moment.
