I'd take that. He might still work out, but I'm far from sure. Getting most of our money back wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
We would be making a £9 million loss on a player who we’ve seen 6 months of. I think that’d be pointless. It’s way too soon to write him off, especially as his last game for us was his best.
One, ten points from ten games isn't, generally, "relegation zone form". The clue is that we started lockdown in the relegation zone and ended the season out of it. Two, we played a disproportionately tough run of games after the restart. Three, our defenders weren't to blame for us not getting more points. We had the 8th best defence after the restart and our strikers scored ZERO goals.
Genuinely baffled as to how anyone can see our strikers performing with all the skill and grace of Laurel and Hardy carrying a piano through a minefield and think to themselves "grrr... our defenders are making me angry".
Also completely bemused as to how any football fan can't spot the ability Konsa has. He is already very good and is, quite clearly, going to get better and better. Forcing him out because we conceded a few goals due to our inept forward line putting us under pressure would be the stupidest thing we have done since forcing Cahill out to accommodate Zat Knight.
Would bite Lazio's had off for £13m for Wesley who is the worst value striker we have signed since Balaban.

No surprise with 10 men behind the ball. We need a rock solid defence this coming season. I'd hope that whoever we buy is bought to go straight into the team. Squad fillers, we have plenty.
You're absolutely desperate to avoid giving our defence any credit for improving, aren’t you?
I would give Wesley more time. It is too soon to judge, especially as his last performance before injury was impressive.

On your first point about 1 point a game not generally being relegation zone form
i don’t give a fuck I don’t want to be anywhere near the bottom 3
second point, I happy with the back 4 of Guilbert Engels Mings Target as I’ve said before we wouldn’t have been scraping up on goal difference if we could have played that back 4 for most of our games
I get the feeling Engels might leave anyway and we will then need a better replacement than what we have
on Konsa, i don’t want to ‘Force’ Konsa out he is improving and don’t mind him in the squad
the reason i prefer Engels is because Konsa struggles to control and pass the ball under pressure which the way Smith plays just leads to us giving the ball away and inviting trouble as seen in many of our matches
people do have differing views
my bar for players, points and abilities is obviously set higher than yours which I admit may be unrealistic in my case
we are the biggest club in the Midlands by a million miles
we are one of the richest in the premier league
I want us to start acting like it,
i would rather believe we can do what Wolves have done rather than be happy with a point a game next season and arguing whether it’s in the relegation zone or not
we are big enough and rich enough to be a top 8 club but we need to believe and have higher expectations

He isn't even as good at holding the ball up as Davis, who honestly looks a better player despite never scoring.
