He’s likely expected not to post that sort of stuff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 They’re not happy he’s been allowed to leave for a free and some actually think he’s a tad underrated. It’s a strange move all round really. I suppose he comes here as 3rd choice? Or 4th choice behind Hause? Either way, him and Hause are both starting new contracts now so maybe the management team are happy with Mings and Konsa for the foreseeable? I certainly like that partnership and don’t see the need to spend 30/40m on an upgrade just yet. We have other areas that need addressing first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked his contributions this season. In the 5 x 90 min game and 45 mins vs Arsenal we shipped 10 goals while he was on the pitch.

MrSmirch Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Every time I’ve seen him play he’s been dreadful. Who knows though eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Welcome Calum! Seemingly out of nowhere. I remember him being very good at Southampton before moving to Arsenal. Hopefully he can find his form again. I can’t remember but was he once in the England squad with Gerrard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Free transfer and a decent player. Covers a few positions and still only 27. Can’t grumble at that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 5th or 6th super squad player It's pretty clear he's joining as Axel's replacement. CB and RB cover, DM if desperate, exactly the same as Axel. This is our 4th choice. I think in the summer either Hause will have a minimum release clause in his new deal and we bumped his pay for 6 months to keep him through the season amid West Ham interest...Or Mings will leave. Chambers/Hause/Konsa/Mings will not be how we anticipate our CB options being come August I don't think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, CB is not an area I’d look to upgrade now. I think we are a starting CM short of having an excellent squad. Will need a back up keeper again for next season and maybe a quality striker, but unless we have outgoings we should be set for next season.

That’s how I see it, provided one of Coutinho or Bailey comes good. Once we sign Bissouma (), we’ll have a very good team and squad of players. I actually think the position that needs upgrading after that would be Striker as you suggest. Somethings not right with Watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewieGriffin Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Centre back and keeper are 2 areas where most teams generally dont rotate, so we either sign someone who puts Konsa on the bench and we'd eventually lose him, or we sign someone who's happy to be back up but is competent enough to step in if required. He's not a sexy signing, but its a decent pick up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
