Konsa is worrying me more at the moment. It was like when he shoved Jota in the corner, that was just poor decision making. He lacks calmness at the moment.
The central defence needs improving. I don't think we'll replace both, so on that basis I think Konsa is the one who has most to worry about for his spot.

It's a shame, because when we first got promoted, and even more so last year, Konsa looked so calm and assured, and you always backed him in a 1-on-1 situation, but he seems to have gone backwards this season. I wonder if it's "feeling" a bit more exposed now, given our full-backs are so much higher up the pitch on average. Maybe he plays better when he's part of a flatter more traditional back four? I also wonder if it's due to losing the influence of John Terry - you have to wonder how much influence he had on the development of our centre-halves specifically, given the 1-to-1 coaching they could have got from him? Or maybe he's just hit his ceiling. Hopefully the coaching staff have a good idea on whether it's just temporary poor form, or if he's peaked and we need better. He's still only 24, which in centre-half terms is still quite young. Virgil Van Dijk was still playing for Celtic at 24.
Can you please stop calling him "Trent". He's not one of our players who we have a fondness for, and you're not Jamie Carragher.

Haaland for €60m; Watkins for £50m?? Something doesn't make logical sense in these 2 prices.I think - unless there is some amazing new player lined up to replace Watkins- we'll struggle to find a sufficient replacement for the dosh. Perhaps Calvert-Lewin is being lined up; I doubt it though.If Suarez comes anywhere near to being a Villa player, I'd seriously to question the capability of whoever signs that one off.
Kamara makes a hell of a lot of sense given he can play CB as well. Would be a massive coup if we get him. Will be him, Sangare or Phillips imo
