We have lacked aggression and a "mess with us and I'll **** you up" attitude since probably Shaun Teale, Kevin Richardson and Earl Barrett. If this guy has footballing ability and the look like he might kill somebody who messes with our players, get on it. Edited August 15, 2023 by Don_Simon Too much profanity, even for me.

In fairness, Buendia seems to be like this in his head, but not in actual size or imposition. haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 This guy makes a ton of sense to sign. We badly need some bite and fight in the team and an experienced head will be very helpful to fill the void that Ash left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Digne will be starting v Everton then. Probably next week before this move happens then if clubs are apart on the fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's an intangible benefit of his game. Also, the Championship team that got us promoted had its nasty moments. Leeds away, that absolute bellend who attacked Jack. We're far too soft now without Tyrone, so Acuna is welcomed by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's get it done and ship Digne off to Saudi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a mix of these guys into the team. Might not seem like much but even in Sunday league, you hated these kind of guys coming up against them. Knew every tackle was going to hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz, Kamara, Dendonker all directly cost us a goal last season from a mistake, Kamara twice in one game actually. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that one of the reasons Konsa was in that position was Cash's terrible positioning when Newcastle were breaking... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep seeing this. Has Torres played LB before? I know we did it in preseason but is he not a very highly rated cb? Why would we want to move him to lb? Why would he want to come here to do that? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left back in Emery's system with three centre backs isn't the left back you and I are familiar with. It's not Staunton, Wright, Taylor or Digne. It's essentially the furthest left centre back allowing the right back, in this instance Cash, (but the decision to release Young becomes more baffling with each passing disaster), to play much further forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way does Konsa get dropped. I'd go as far as saying he's the glue that has to somehow stick all this together this season. Dan Bardell keeps saying McGinn is the first name on the team sheet. I'd say Konsa is very close to that level of importance now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
