Is Ibrahima Konate any good? Leaving Liverpool on a free.

Not £300k a week good.

Konate looks dreadful with the ball at his feet.  Wouldn’t fit into an Emery team.

Given money is tight, all we need to do to significantly improve our prospects is replace the three forwards who have contributed next to nothing this season - Guessand, Bailey and Elliott - with one forward with some pace. That Jonathan Rowe looked the part we lack.

Rowe looked good in first leg when Cash was not making a tackle to avoid yellow card ban…thought he looked v average 2nd leg when Cash joined in…think there would be better vfm knocking about.

It's reported he wanted £250k-£300k a week to resign with Liverpool.

Even if we could bargain him down to £200k, he wouldn't be worth it for us.  He's not incredible.

I get him mixed up with Upamecano, and in my memory Watkins has bulllied both of them.

I've never been particularly impressed by Konate. He always looks a bit clumsy.

I like the look of  Femi Azeez of Millwall..   would be worth a punt i.e Rogers and much younger and cheaper than Wilson.         

 Lesley Ugochukwu  could be a back up for Kamara and Onana  when they are on the medical bench too,  Id swap him for Bogarde all day long.

He wouldn’t net out as cheaper than Wilson I imagine.


well yes he would cost but wages wil be alot cheaper and If emery works his magic , could be big sell on fee like Rogers and 5 years younger than Wilson .   I just prefer these punts than a 29 years old one good season Wilson ..

Didn’t Azeez sign for Palace and then was loaned back?

Edit. Not according to Wiki. Must have just been a rumour.

no this guy played for Reading  and  I loved Michael Olise at Reading.

Clumsy is exactly how I would describe him, with poor positioning for someone of that level.

He looks like Bambi on ice when a football comes anywhere near him.
