Tomaszk Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Bednarek is not a better player than Konsa. He is a big lad that can head it though. And we don't seem to be able to clear the ball from a corner. Wouldn't have him much ahead of Hause at all to be honest. And he's been starting for Southampton? Very strange situation IMO.

Farlz Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Bednarek would be such a dreadful signing. Manifesting it doesn't happen like I done with Sarr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bednarek for me makes no sense and again things seem to be strange at the moment from the club. Talking to Southampton fans they said he is slow and makes bad decisions.............Ok now i see lol (Sorry just so many negative from fans at the moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if it's more a case of Hause wanted to go, for his own career, more than us wanting him to go. Based on the descriptions of what Bednarek is meant to be good at, and stats, I did wonder if it was much of an improvement ( If any ) on Hause. But I really don't know much about him aside from seems he used to score quite a bit a couple of years ago. ( FPL ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) I could never see Hause getting 132 games for a mid - lower table Premier league team. Edited August 26, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been very capable last few seasons when called upon. Absolutely 100% a better CB than Chambers who is OK for a back-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Not sure why people keep referencing Southampton fans' opinion of Benarek, from what I've seen it's not as if they all think he's rubbish like some on here are trying make out anyway, a lot see him as a decent enough Premier League defender that can do a job but is suffering from the system that their manager employs, Salisu's has also apparently been made to look bad because of it as well, not so long back people on here were calling for us to sign him. Also fans are more likely to say bad things about a player when it looks like that player is leaving. And you can't really trust fans' opinons of players on online forums anyway, you only have to look at this forum to see that, imagine if a team was linked to Jacob Ramsey and a fan didn't know anything about him and came on here to see what Villa fans opionion of him were, reading some of the things that get written on here about him a curious reader would be liable think he's a load of rubbish, but that's obvously not true, and it's not just Jacob Ramsey, many of our players have received way more criticism than they actually deserve, Watkins, Mings, are others who if you go by what people have said on here in the recent past then you would think they're not very good at all, which again doesn't paint a true picture, and that's probably the case with Southampton fans on their forum and Benarek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I hopes it’s a case of Bednarek & Diallo… And not the former over the latter … Nuehaus / Veerman. With Chukwueze, Jérémy Doku or Jonathan David, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Can't be as bad as some Southampton fans make out, Leicester and West Ham wanted him too, they usually have pretty good recruitment, so that has to count for something, not saying he would be an amazing signing nothing of the sort, but doesn't exactly seem a bad signing either, might not be an improvement or as good as Carlos, but our defensive options will be stronger than they were last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted August 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2022 So many things to fix. As a team we lack height and pace - add that to a midfield that can’t pass and a starting striker that can’t finish and you wonder how we even make lower mid table Bednarek addresses the height issue - him and Mings will atleast be able to repel the more physical teams when needed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan B is that the players don't wash for a week. That should repel a fair few teams. Edited August 26, 2022 by Made In Aston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas we probably did it to try and get a fee. So a fail both way in a sense as he's now gone on loan, unless he does Great on loan and a club decide to stump up money for him.

thabucks Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The stats most show him to be a more than capable First team/ squad player. The profile of the signing doesn’t adversely affect Swinkels, Bogarde, Smith or Feeney prospects either… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MaVilla Posted August 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Jas10 said: tbh, he may not be a marquee signing, but i am at the point where if he is capable of helping us defend set pieces and high balls with his height, and be stronger than wet lettuce Konsa, im all for giving him a chance. we are too small as a team, having 6ft 4 (Mings) and a 6ft 2/6ft 3 (Bednarek) in central defence, might help us where we are currently quite weak (ie:height/strength/aggression). Might be one of those where the player in isolation isnt "amazing", but his "assets" might help the team overall. who knows, im just trying to see a positive side.
