OutByEaster? Posted August 9 Moderator Share Posted August 9 So, was the performance in America the straw that broke the camels back, the player showing that if we didn't let him go he'd be a liability, or just one of those things? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda got a funny vibe, from his play, in USA. We simply don't know what goes on, behind the scenes. Edited August 9 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt because it was very difficult to distinguish that from most of his performances. Funny player - looked fit enough to me last season after his injury. So chilled off the pitch he looks like he's on sedatives. Most of the time on the pitch he looks like that too. Every so often though when he has to do something he suddenly launches into action and is about 50% to aggressive in his play and decision making. Physically he looked fine but decision making and general alertness to danger was poor as was his aerial ability which again was odd for someone the width of a house. Can pass the ball with the best of them when he wants to but also makes a few silly errors. Given the fee we paid and wages a big dissapointment overall. Throw it on the pile I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCDAN Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Hope we have a solid replacement lined up. Can’t help thinking that losing 3 of your first 12-13 players after achieving champs league for the first time in 40 years isn’t the best strategy. Definitely room for improvement but these players need to bed in… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 How does it work negotiating with a team over a fee, when the player is not being involved in matches. Doesn't seem the best position to put ourselves in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m 90% sure I saw the ref show a second yellow first for what it’s worth. But I’d had a couple of beers so may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think, from what I heard on one of the podcasts this am, that you get suspended following a red in a friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I think he might be one of those players who needs to play every week to be at his best ... Never gonna happen with Konsa there, especially if Gertrude arrives. Sell him now and bring in a back up CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
