Villarocker Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Good couple of blocks tonight but should have scored that header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 From what I have seen so far he is good in the air, competent on the ball and has good pace. Long term he could be the best signing we made this summer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Really good signing. That shows that signing players who're doing well could always have the chance to be good. Most of people underestimate them, but actually more likely players down there are better than players up. As Premier League teams won't offload quality players apart from some cases as Mings (who was a risk at time as he only showed his quality on championship but considered as a prem player). McGinn and El Ghazi are keeping their goals and assists, Mings is solid. They kept their form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konsa was very good today, really impressed me. Think the place is his to lose now. I said it before that I thought he was down the pecking order at the moment, but has the highest ceiling potentially of all our defenders. He’s now moving up that pecking order and has Terry to learn off. Could be a future England captain. Edited November 25, 2019 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we spent a lot of money but we’ve really got good value for money in most areas in my opinion. Especially when you think that front 3 against us today cost 81 million!

He was much more comfortable with the ball. Nothing taken away from konsa just different skillsets imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Won't have an easier top flight game in his career. Playing against a Bruce side is a centrebacks dream. Edited November 26, 2019 by rodders0223 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Very happy with this player right now... As much as I like Tyrian Ming () I thought he looked the more assured of the pair last night. Keep up the good work Mr Konsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Cracking performance but should have buried that free header from 5 yards out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I watched the game again and looked closer at Konsa, as said this could be our best piece of business in the summer. I never doubted his ability or potential, but I thought he was too short to be a top class CB. But yesterday he showed how good he is in the air, won duel after duel over both Joelinton and Carroll. From what we heard by the Brentford fans and the clips from Brentford his biggest asset seemd to be his passing, starting attacks and bringing the ball forward. We haven't seen so much of that yet, he has mostly kept it simple. If he ups his game in those aspects as well there is no limit to how good he can be.

MaVilla Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 12m, bargain. Add Engels - 9m?, nakamba - 11m, , Heaton- 8m, Ghazi - 5m, Guilbert- 4.5m, targett - 14m, Jota- 2m, Luiz- 15m, Mings - 20m. So.nice that we actually have competent people handling our transfer business, regardless of how this season ends up, we have purchased very well overall.

Definitely hasn't shown that yet, noted on Monday he was much happier passing sideways and letting Mings start things. I'm hoping if he gets a run of games and gains some confidence we will start to see that side of his game having two CB's that can play out would be awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Looking like a bit of a gem so far, not sure a fit Engels gets back in and he was doing just fine before picking up the injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
