So the big man is back . tbh regardless of the fee I think he was worth every penny .

The man imo is a legend in the making irrespective of his performances on the pitch.

Having watched his first interview he appreciates the fans and our support . It makes a massive difference these days

So who’s next

Not that i'm being greedy at all, we are apparently after another 3. Personally I would like these 6 🤪😂 mainly as they are quality and cheaper than what we are rumoured to be after

Maupay 12m + hogan
Rognier 7m + Kalinic
Cahill free
Trezeguet 9-10m
Etheridge 10m
Konza 12m

Total outlay £51 million which is £29 million less than we have been quoted for 3 players in which the transfers are on hold i.e Butland, Phillips and Benrahma.

I agree 100% with your first 5 kenn, not so sure about Konza.
I would prefer Phillips from Leeds who can cover the center back spot anyway if needed.
I have a feeling we are close to getting Phillips anyway, he has turned Leeds latest offer down, and they are looking for a defensive mid as we speak.

Couple of decent suggestions there mate, although don't think we need to sign two keepers and I'd need a few pints of whatever you're on before I think any player could be a legend 'irrespective of his performances on the pitch'!?!?
Also, we need a really solid central midfielder too in my opinion.

Problem is Rongier wouldn’t fit in and we’d still be needing a defensive midfielder, Rongier plays much further forward.

I do get where your coming from Dave and yes I thought the same about Konza .

That was until someone said he was the best under 21 CB In England .

So I YouTubed him and I was pleasantly surprised . Reminds me a bit of Axel .

DJC I didn’t think I said I wanted two keepers . Did I? Also isn’t Rognier a CDM for Nantes?

As for legend (in the making) as i put it, and pints of what ever I’m having. well there was me thinking I only said one keeper and a solid central midfielder . So can I please have some pints of what your having on a school night.

Chris .
Valentin Rongier is a defensive midfielder and captain of Nantes

Just saying 🤪.

Villa_Kenn Rongier is captain of Nantes, but he doesn’t play defensive midfield for them. just saying😂.

He’s played their on occasion the same way Hourihane has for us, but over 38 games that’s a square peg in a round hole, because he plays further forward for his current club regularly, so there’s not much to suggest he can do it for a season for us. We’ve done that in the past, not again.

Also on Konsa, I wouldn’t go off YouTube clips, Micah Richards looks colossal on YouTube. I watched Konsa for the U21’s this summer and he wasn’t the best to say the least, it also speaks volumes that Smith has worked with him but hasn’t gone in for him despite the low buy out clause. He’s young so could grow but he is by no means the finished article, and there’s not much to suggest he can do it for 38 games in the prem.

Chris avfc . could it not be that for Nantes he is actually a square peg in a round hole?

On both Wikipedia and transfer market he is down as a defensive midfielder!

Not that I’m going to split heirs on it.

as for Konsa I agree he is young and learning his trade . But didn’t all the U21’s play 💩 recently?

Konsa played 41 games for Brentford last season and all three games in the u21 tournament so Imo can’t be that bad

I never actually said he would be good for 38 premier league games

I also said in my post get Cahill on a free . So having Mings, Chester, Cahill and Konsa would mean we have 4centre backs which given cheaters dodgy knee and Cahill’s age isn’t a bad thing

Just because it’s not in the papers who smith is going for doesn’t mean Jack does it? Did we see the Wesley deal coming?

Hi Villa_Kenn, my bad on the two goalkeepers comment, I was attempting to multitask and saw the Kalinic bit of your post and assumed you were recommending two keepers.
As I said, plenty of good suggestions so no offense meant.
You have to admit though it's pretty funny to suggest someone is a legend in the making irrespective of performances on the pitch. all meant in good spirits though, it's silly season on the transfer rumour front so we need to have a sense of humour with it :)
UTV.

I could go and change that Wikipedia article to say he’s a basketball player, check who scored, last season he played 3 times as a defensive midfielder. I’m not arguing I’m just pointing out he wouldn’t fit as a defensive midfielder and I don’t think smith and co see him as one.

As for Konsa there’s definitely room to grow due to his age, and playing under Boothroyd for England is bound to make you look 💩, I’d take Cahill, then we’ve got 4 decent centre backs and reassess next season.

I wasn’t offended DJC it’s not a problem it’s all in good humour mukka

Over and above everything we are all brummies together.

With regards to legend comment, I kind of agree that the comment can be taken out of context but what I meant was he has adhered himself to the fans and can almost be classed as one of our own .

Don’t get me wrong there is only one super jack, but how Mings holds himself as a footballer earning ludicrous amounts of money every week is certainly welcoming .

In this day and age most footballers are just at clubs for money as it’s a job . But how many actually recognise the fans and what we do for the club? Imo not many .

When I said legend in the making it was based on his appreciation to us the fans which doesn’t happen that often from players that aren’t playing for their home town clubs.

Jesus Chris are we really splitting heirs over Wikipedia and the fact you could change it 😂😂😂👍

I’m sure you could and we’ll done

Do you have a wiki profile? I could change yours to argues black is white 🤪😂

Being serious now, I get your point and all we are is having a bit of banter .

The kid looks a good player, we don’t know who we will sign as DS will get whom he feels fits the way we play etc

However my comment was made of the fact we was linked with Rongier as a DM with money and Kalinic going the opposite way .
