🚨 Ornbomb 🚨 Ezri Konsa

[Rasmi]

If we sign Konsa, isn't it more likely to be a sign Saliba is crocked long term? Timber plays as RB. From what I know of Konsa is he's good defensively as a RB but not great going forwards. Perhaps I'm wrong though

Timber been out for a year and been sent home from pre season. That’s a bad sign

 

[Dokaka]

Look at it from the positive, if we sign him you can become a closet Arsenal fan like @Dokaka did when we signed Rice

This sneaky dig at me somehow makes me sound better considering I started following Arsenal more closely when Bendtner was here.

 

[Nichodemus]

If Arsenal pull off both Vini and Bruno in quick succession I wouldn't give a damn if they signed Konsa even if he only had one leg to stand on.

I remember being interested in him a bit when he was at Charlton, obviously never got the impression he was a top tier CB so I’d say good PL CB was about his ceiling and he’s fulfilled that.

From a sporting perspective I don’t mind it but to spend the money required is just a bit City-ish in terms of indulgence. Don’t love it.

 

[Jasard]

I thought this guy was younger than 28 lol, really don’t see the point

Wtf hes 29 soon?? I get for someone like Bruno who is a top quality starter but whats the point of spending 60m on an ageing backup?

I thought he was like 25.

Anyone know where he lives? I want to pay him a visit and offer my services as a Physical Therapist.

With the injury situations around Saliba, Timber and White, it’s really not surprising the club is prioritizing an experienced PL proven player. It’s actually a big priority for the start of the season. Konza makes sense, but the price quoted by Villa is obviously too high. We’ll see if they can get something done for a more reasonable fee.

Signing Vincius and Konsa in the one window feel so weird. It would be like buying the most expensive car while you pull your house with it.

All good fun mate. Appreciate you!

Bendtner though

 

[Stevo the Villan]

I’ve been on this site for 15 years mate. We’re way past that

 

[Stevo the Villan]

How good is he as a right back? I got the impression he's not great offensively

I think the dislike of the signing is more to do with the fact he probably won't start when Saliba is fit

He’s not very good at right back. He can do a job there and that’s as generous as I can be.

Steevo The Gooner? An extra E for the upgrade in clubs

 

[ArsenesCoatMaker]

He’s not very good at right back. He can do a job there and that’s as generous as I can be.

So you're telling me Lord Saliba is almost dead

 

[Diesel]

The inevitable steel chair to the head when they announce we are advanced for this guy

 

[Dokaka]

All good fun mate. Appreciate you!

Bendtner though

You know how ever-present the coverage gets in these parts when a countryman features for one of the big clubs

 

[Malky]

We’re actually going to sign this guy, ain’t we? with the exception of Bruno, this is a terrible window.

 

[North5]

Ffs

 

[Trilly]

I’ve been ignoring this thread for the last few days

 

[Ash10]

I’ve been ignoring this thread for the last few days

This came alive as soon as the meeting where your boy chinni decided to use us for a better contract ended

 

[drippin]

I assume the rationale for Konsa is proven EPL quality, that can play CB and cover RB at some level. Need someone who is willing to be behind Saliba, but still good enough level.

This only makes sense if Villa accepts low enough offer due to his age and 2 years in contract. 50-60 million pounds is too much. But I assume Villa will refer to Van Hecke's 50 million fee with 1 year left in contract.

So it's tough to see how this happens, unless Villa still has to sell for regulations like Newcastle did. But they have UCL so I doubt it.

Buying an older player for cheaper now likely also relates to the pathway for Salmon, which is very important.
