Diego Carlos

Lenglet is just another Bednareck with a slightly easier surname to pronounce

[Brazilian Villain]

Mings should be involved next season so I wouldn't be surprised if we sold Carlos, made Konsa first choice right-side centre back and then bought in someone like, Ronnie Edwards who is young and highly rated, as understudy to Konsa.

He sounds like a train robber.

WHO?

[Flamingo Lane]

He doesn't actually seem to do anything. He kind of does fill spaces on the pitch but, wherever he happens to be, and notwithstanding his highly impressive physique, he doesn't ever seem to perform any sort of action of a substantive kind, such as a successful tackle, an interception, or a forward pass to a colleague.

And the problem is Lenglet is much the same.

David W once mentioned a description of Carew he’d heard about him having the physique of a Viking and the constitution of a librarian. That applies to Carlos 1,000 fold.

Selling Carlos would damage our Profit & Sustainability shi', wouldn't it? If he cost £25m, I can't see us getting more than £10m back, and he'll only have been here two years in the summer so he'll leave us in negative equity.

Unless I'm massively misunderstanding something it wouldn't so much damage our P&S, it just wouldn't help us as much as it would if we sold him for a profit.

Its still money in.

I don’t think he’s as bad as he’s appeared of late. I think much of it is down to the lack of protection the midfield has provided, and most centre backs would struggle in that situation. I think he struggles when he needs to be primary distributor, but with Torres back that changes. I still worry about red cards, but again less pressure on his distribution might help that.

This is exactly right - not sure if he is still adjusting - but I cant think of anything he has done in his time with us.  Not good or bad, just nothing

[PaulWinch again]

I can’t remember which game it was, Citeh or Arsenal, I think the latter, but he was exceptional that day.

[London Villan]

He’s a secondary centre half.. Shaun Teale to McGrath…

[LeonW]

I think he’s a liability to the way we want to play. His dropping off to defend deep is massively impacting our back line to play the offside trap and suggest he does not have confidence in his physical capabilities. And if he’s not bringing his physicality, what is he really contributing? His one on one defending is average, he has no recovery pace, he’s not particularly dominating in the air and his distribution is reasonable. But take Konsa away from the right back area and you wonder how much he’s been compensating for Carlos. For Torres it would make sense to have a physical partner, like Mings.

He really isn’t.
