We were able to hold onto Jack but what about the guys who don't have as strong a connection with Villa. Leicester barely got to enjoy their title before the vultures started circling. You look at the defensive options for a team like ManU or Arsenal and you can easily see how Konsa would be a massive upgrade if he continues his current trajectory. This is why I suggested he might be in line for a new/extended contract He is a real asset and if people haven’t noticed already they soon will. He is worth considerably more than we paid for him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishlad Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 A defender who sees the danger and closes it down. Super player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he keeps this uo he will be in the england squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Has he ever played for the England U21? Notice they've got a few players who are 22, surely he gets in that team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone came to try and poach him in January, we could offer a new contract at that time instead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Big mistake to not start forming the Mings and Konsa partnership at the start of last season imo He would be an even better player by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sky is the limit for him, he’s a fabulous player I think. Great find by Smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keener window-cleaner Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 He has started this season brilliantly, even better than Mings I'd say, goes about it quietly but does all things right at the moment. Could see last season that he was a proper player, I had doubts if he was good enough and strong enough defensively, but he is showing now that he can be a super CB. I'd rather have him than Tarkowski, don't even know what price range that would put Konsa in considering the reported bids for Tarkowski this summer. I wanted us to sign an established CB this summer, but now I'm perfectly happy if we bring someone in who is just a cover and go all out with Mings and Konsa ans undisputed first choice. I would think that Martinez and his presence has played his part in Konsas performance as well, perhaps to some extent Cash too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Don't get me wrong I still think Mings is a good centre back but Konsa has been the best so far this season (I know it's a small sample size) If he keeps it up he's going to have been an excellent signing. I wouldn't have predicted when he signed for us that he'd become so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hopefully we don't have to see it any time soon but it'll be a good test when Mings isn't starting next to him. He's still the boss back there, sorts everyone else out, talks constantly. Ezri lacks nothing to be a top top Premier League players. The Fulham performance impressed me so much. Their whole plan was get Mitrovic up against him for challenges and he was sent packing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody1000 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Becoming a cracking young player. He’s only 22, and yet plays with a calmness well beyond his years. Him and Mings compliment each other well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
