Nope, but enough to know he shouldn't be our starting CB in the PL. If this really is where we're going in our Axel replacement it's naivety on another level. I'd go as far as saying it's Deano's first nail. But lets see how it all pans out first. Edited July 10, 2019 by KenjiOgiwara 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Not so sure why so many seem to think Konsa will be a back up signing he's a very highly rated defender, rated at a similar level to players like Tuanzebe and Tomori. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted July 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2019 Was this the guy who was making all the errors in the u21s, or was that the player who Derby had on loan last season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 10, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2019 Where has the Konsa thing come from, it’s not Gregg Evans is it? Is it a credible link? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thinks Konsa is good enough to start for us in The Premier League then so do I. Based on Konsa’s performance for Brentford at Villa Park last season, he looked immense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pez1974 Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 Konsa plays for the England U21s ahead of Axel - but behind Tomori for example. Konsa has played pretty much 3x full seasons, the last one in the Championship (42 games). Axel has had injuries and only 1 proper season (played 25 games last season). If we'd signed Axel for £12m, people would be very excited. Although he might need a little time to grow into the team, this appears to be a magnificent signing if it comes off. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester and Tuanzebe aren't exactly giants either mate. 6.0/1,83 from what I've seen. Think it was Pulis who regarded Chester to be too short as well and played him RB if I remember correctly. I wont at all write him off because of his length, and if he is a good passer and can contribute to our bulid up play it could make sense, especially if he plays next to Mings. Would lIke us to bring in someone as Hegazy as well so we have options when we play the rugby teams like Burnely.

Wes Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Konsa and Heaton (potentially?) on the plane to the States for that pre-season trip (as Visas are less likely to be an issue as they are English). Trezequet has been on International duty all summer so is likely to be on holiday now, so would join up with the squad when they are back from the US. DM the last essential missing piece?

But Tuanzebe, who essentially has no premier league experience, your ok with ? Conor Coady had a brilliant season last year. Do some Villa fans expect us to be challenging for champions league or something next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 6'4" for example, and can jump to a height of about 6'3". Garry Thompson could leap amazingly high for a man of his height. Cristiano Ronaldo can also leap beyond what is expected.

useless Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 If Chester can get back to his old self he's a well capable defender at Premier league level, ask any Hull fan and they will you he was one of their best players in the top flight, it's only really at Albion where he had a tough time, but that's because Pullis played him at right-back.
