YouUnastanFren Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Yet another excellent move by the people running the club. His level of performance has been so consistently high I think it's possibly only been bettered by Dias at City among all PL centre backs. The fact he hasn't so much as made an England squad, let alone been capped is yet another sad indictment of the Southgate era.

hippo Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I doubted him for a long time. Happy to say he has rammed my words right down my throat. Pleased he has been rewarded and pleased he will be around for a while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some even compared to mellberg and laursen. Now though, ezri is arguably more important than mings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Only aspect of Konsa's game I could really criticise is that I think he could do a bit more on the ball and perhaps relieve some of the burden from Mings in terms of building from the back. It's surprising that he was signed with the reputation of being a ball playing defender but his passing stats are actually quite sub-par in comparison to other CBs across the top 5 leagues, while in terms of pure out and out defending he's been nothing short of brilliant. That isn't to say he's actually bad on the ball and always giving it away, more that he's not exactly progressive while having the ability to do so. I'm sure it'll come along though if the rest of his game is anything to go by. Delighted he's signed on again, alleviates some of the worry that was creeping in for some and we can crack on with the comfort of knowing one of the best defensive units in the league will be remaining firmly intact.

The_Steve Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Exceptional talent. More than deserving a new contract. He's going to be a crucial part of our progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 He really is a class act. Brilliant news and significant for the club's future to get all our best players signed up to lengthy contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are absolute quality imo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Massive statement of intent from the club. I really thought he’d be off because so many of the top Champions League sides are in need of a good CB, but good to see his heart is in the project.

Im not having a go at you but quoted you since you brought it up. I see people all the time comparing Mings and Konsa as if they are in competition with each other. I understand is a bit of an anti-Mings vibe amongst some Villa fans especially on social media but I dont know why people praising Konsa have to take a dig at Mings and vice versa.

Strange times Just to clarify...did you think my post had a dig at mings? If it did, was never my intention. I absolutely love mings and if you were to look back at my posts, you'll see i staunchly defended hom several times when he was under the kosh from some villa fans. Delighted either way to have two top class cb's, who seem genuinely decent, fan favourites at villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
