Aarons is better going forward not better in defence...... As a side point currently our right back plays as a defensive right back.

I know nothing about , Diaby other than what I have read, and they say he is quick and elusive.....My concerns about any player, is being taken out physically, and in the Premier League, it is crucial to be resistant to that.....at 5'7 he needs to be very skilful to negate that physical threat.....I don't think we are quite at the stage of 50mill misfits......We can't afford the Pepe's of this world, ours need to be successful.....so its a gamble. It seems Leverkusen, want a huge fee for him, and that could be tricky, we have already seen a player from there, in our own Leon Bailey, reported as quick and elusive,at the time, only for us to find, a spasmodic version of that. Wingers are traditionally easily taken out, unless you are lucky enough to have a really good one, consistency is not really their forte. and passengers in the Prem are quickly identified. I am not sure, of this one.....but other posters, who know more about him, will be better judges......However, I am notoriously sceptical about wingers, even though I love to watch a good one. Vinicius Jnr.......I would be comfortable with that. Edited July 14, 2023 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we are even looking at a RB Cash is the starter and Konsa will be back up with Chambers if he is still here as a third choice.

Would not surprise me Why would people be mad about that? It's not perfect but it's been suggested countless times on here and Emery has used a more CB type player at RB at previous clubs. Still think the plan is to bring in another RB thou. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Konsa too good for us last season to be left out and can definitely see Emery using him in Young role last season. Let's see what happens 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery will probably set up with a very attacking LWB and a line of three RB/CB/CB. Cash/Konsa or perhaps Carlos will be tasked with a defensively orientated RB job. I don't think we will use a RWB this season. That's why a top quality right winger is so important to Emery's style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens when Moreno is out though? It won't work so well if it's Konsa at RB and a more defensive minded LB which ultimately Digne is or whoever else we sign if he leaves.

Would not surprise me Me neither.....Whether he plays Konsa there permanently or spasmodically, I am not sure.....but I get the notion. The whole thing is making more sense to me as time evolves....I see no problem, with the amount of Centre Backs, I only see strength emerging, in the team. I think its going to be a very exciting time ahead.....for me, Centrebacks are the cornerstone of a strong side, and we have 4 really good ones.

This is a good team under UE, and it should be hard to get in to.....so by deduction, its going to be hard to find players to do that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have SJM in the same category. these 2 were the bedrock of our improved performances in the second half of the last season and the onfield leaders. we are looking to get to a level where there is hopefully going to be great competition for every slot. If we can get most of the recruitment done in the next week or so, we can then start the season on the front foot with those meriting places on form getting the nod. I can’t wait for the season to start! UTV. What you and Markos dont realize is that he will play alongside mings and konsa would not be the regular CB … food for thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
