Given his strong attachment to Sevilla he might even go back there if the timing is right but I think he'll be getting decent minutes in europe so see if that can translate to some premier league starts.

Fine margins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 On 31/05/2023 at 20:16, M_Afro said: I’ve got a feeling that Diego may leave this summer. We are likely to sign a starting centre back which could potentially push Diego back to fourth choice. I suspect he will not be happy with that and I also feel that it’s not a good position for the club to be in, having such an expensive resource so far down the food chain. They’ll maybe want to sell him before his value totally plummets. I think we should keep Carlos, but I did see some rumours about Wolves being interested in him. Now Napoli are bidding for Kilman they will need a decent replacement, so who knows?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at this point, if we're going to have all 4 of Konsa/Mings/Diego/Torres for this year, great. I just worry about the long-term stability of this particular situation, i.e. after this season. I'm a believer that you want your team to be roughly 50% players who are at the peak of the career, 25% older players who may not be able to put in as many minutes but bring leadership and experience to the table, and 25% younger players who are working their way up the ladder and are your future. (I said roughly, it could be 20-60-20 or whatever.) JJ is a good example of the youngster, Ashley Young a good example of the old guy. Both were able to contribute many, many meaningful minutes last year, but neither one expected to play, or did play, every match. They weren't second rate players, just not at their peak. The problem with Diego/Mings/Konsa/Torres is that you have 4 players at the peak of their career. That's where I think that someone might be unhappy. On the top of that, CBs seem to be the least rotated, even in teams that rotate heavily. They also seem to be the least subbed late in matches. When you're the critical last line of defence, developing an understanding and knowing what your partner is going to do is crucial. I just don't see Unai doing a 4 CB rotation in PL matches, and is Diego (or is anyone else among the 4) going to be happy playing just League Cup matches? What if we go out early from one or both domestic cups again? If, say, Mings and Torres are outstanding in the PL, is Unai really going to want to change for European matches? Someone is probably going to want out next summer. I am not saying sell any of them right now. Konsa isn't at his peak yet, he could potentially be better than all of them in a couple of years (not saying he will) I think that would be a fantastic quartet of CB's should Diego get back to full fitness, not many teams in the league would have that much strength in depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Interesting to see how right footed Feeney is but he’s playing on the left, and Carlos is on the right despite playing left sided before. Wonder if Emery wants him to get used to being right sided again and build up a relationship with Cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Good to see carlos back. Going to be a big player for us i think. Wouldnt be suprised if he was tested as a left back in pre season if digne goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konsa has played significant number of minutes at RB for us previously. Should we just play 4 CBs including right footer at left fullback?
