TheMightyVillans Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 He was incredible in both of the arsenal matches and the home game against city. A lot of average performance in between though. Not against having him as a 4th choice CB but with his wage/age probably makes sense to try and get rid of him if possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I actually think he will be important for a team that have to defend for their life throughout the season. But he is not a good fit with our style. Think one of the teams that will fight relegation could be happy buyer for 15 mill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepDish Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Just now, Tom13 said: Dunno, cos he is a good passer of the ball. I think he plays with too much risk in his passes. And he is also the player in the back four who tend to play hoof ball most when he is under pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Helped us get 4th with some monumental performances. Overall not consistent enough but it was a bit odd a stop start season for him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) I dont care if he is a good passer.. He is an average defender at best.. He never plays with urgency & looks half hearted both in and out of possession.. Edited May 19 by Reivax_Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Am I the only one who thinks he is a better fit for Torres than Konsa? Konsa, a bit like Luiz, is incredibly overrated on here, and probably at their optimum value. I think Konsa makes more mistakes than Carlos, take both Nooocastle games for example, and Carlos is a far better passer. Get Kamara , or another competative midfielder , or both at the same time, infront of him, and Torres, and I think you will see his true value. The better teams have better distribution from the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I really hope we can move Carlos on now. He is too expensive to be a bit part player in our squad. We need a young, cheaper alternative with a lot of potential. Carlos always tries hard but now is a good time to move him on. He would go with my best wishes though. You can’t fault his professionalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I can imagine is he was just knackered. The big lads always run out of steam first, he's big, but I wouldn't say one of the fittest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't be having £5 million kids on the bench ready to come on to mark Mbappe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t say that’s what we needed mate. A £25m 23 year old on lower wages is better than having an older player like Carlos who is on very big wages. Hopefully he wouldn’t be needed for the big games as we would play our first choice defence. It’s just very simple economics really. Selling at the right time is an essential part of squad management. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I think foreveryoungs point is that we shouldn't have to gamble now. IF we are serious about next season, and want to improve, we need better players, and then get potential after we get the better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His better games seem to have come against the better centre forwards, so maybe in some of the big CL games he may actually be an asset next year. Brazilian defenders seem to go on until they're 40 anyway so he's a mere whippersnapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferguson was the King of selling players at the right time and I think the time is right for him now. He’s a big old unit and I doubt he will be playing top level beyond 33 or so.

In hindsight the right time to sell him was probably in 2022 when Sevilla sold him, after some great seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
