TheMightyVillans Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Thought he played well again. Looks more confident on the ball than konsa. Has been a great signing so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Very, very good at getting tight to a player recieving the ball and disrupting them. Better players will turn him because of it but for 80% of who we play against it's really effective. His passing is also more progressive than Konsa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steero113 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) Can anyone think of a better free transfer in the last decade? Edit: For Villa specifically of course. Edited May 20, 2022 by Steero113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borja Baston or Brett Holman run him close. Its not exactly a great list suppose Terry maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Would be interesting to see him play at right-back for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 he is very good on the ball for a CB, i think at CB his defending can be a little iffy at times, but good overall. Very good signing for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: For Villa specifically of course. was it free?, or was it a few hundred K? Either way, a brilliant signing, im more curious as to the actual fee, as i havent seen it anywhere (from a trustworthy source). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomC Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Konsa would never have made the pass that he made to Bertie yesterday. The header to Watkins in the 74th minute wasn't half bad either. And who can forget his pass to Coutinho that set up the Dougie goal against Southampton? I'm not bashing Konsa, who I rated highly last year and probably is slightly better at defending, but he's one of several players who did not perform as well this year as last. I'd start CC over Konsa right now because he brings more to the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Doesn't feel like a downgrade from Konsa, on this season's form I'd say quite the opposite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Just does the simple things well which perhaps go unnoticed. However, some of his passing, touches etc are sublime for a CB. Amazing pick up and will be a great asset going into next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In normal system he'd struggle to get up and down the line all match. Given I was underwhelmed by his signing I have to say he's been excellent in pretty much all matches so fair play to him. Our defensive stats with him starting are very strong and him and Mings looks a good combo so that's important for next season given Konsa has struggled since xmas and we don't know exactly when he'll be back fit.

Sam-AVFC Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 It's easy to forget that once upon a time he was going to be the next big thing. Really good signing, particularly on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Don't think he would work at RB anymore just like I don't think Mings would work at LB anymore. Big body and knee injury is a bad combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think he looked all that good at Arsenal for the most part, but so far for us he's looked very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd need at least 1 wide player in the team to compensate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
