I get the feeling Gerrard doesn’t rate Konsa as much as we do.

Reminds me of the time we sold Vassell for about 2m and signed Baros for about 7m and it just made little difference.
If our medium term aim is to break into the top 6we will need2 central defenders2 midfielders one being a CDM1 forward preferably goalscoringimo

Or maybe thats wishful thinking

Or maybe thats wishful thinkingIt’s the wishful thinking that keeps you going.Getting youngsters to transition to the PL level is one thing, but for them to be PL elite level is pretty rare. Our last in a generation fucked off up the M6.So not exactly corporation omnibus frequency.
Fix the midfield, and the defence will look better. Mings is a very good defender most of the time, but the more pressure he’s under, the more chance he has to drop a bollock. We need to keep the ball much, much better than we do, with McGinn usually being the chief culprit in giving it away. Selling Konsa would be madness.
