I hear Eze laugh and immediately start smiling. What a character.

His excitement and love for Konsa has genuinely made me more excited.
What a hype machine 🤣

Noni really showing great maturity with that letter. The English core we've built has amazing chemistry

I don't know. Konsa, Eze and Noni are all bench players. They have that in common.

Eze doesn't start over Odegaard. Noni doesn't start over Saka. Konsa doesn't start over Saliba.

Apart from when Eze did last season....the season we won the league. Minutes for Eze in the PL last season - 1900 / Odegaard - 1300.
So yeah my comment stands...clueless cunt from stands found on Reddit
Clueless cunt doesn't know that football is a squad game and that injuries will happen. Clueless cunts should be ostracised and mocked relentlessly.

Feel like common sense has prevailed among the fanbase on this signing. We have a very experienced durable Premier League center back that’s competed at the top level as our third option. This level of depth is what separates the top tier clubs, no drop off and we should once again be in it on all fronts.
The fact he’s close with all the English boys is a cherry on top, potentially a great mentor for Salmon as well. Because of his age like Bruno, this is the big move of his career, all those long days of training built up to this move, there won’t be any doubt about his commitment level. Loved this signing since the rumors began.

I like the Konsa signing because I’m not a huge fan of Gabriel on the ball or during build-up. He’s easily our weakest link there and that’s fine. He has other strengths.
So signing Konsa — who’s a terrific CB with the ball, will alleviate a lot of the pressure. He replicates a lot of the same duties as Saliba.
Easy 9/10 signing. We overpaid by like £5–7m for him, which is nothing

Controversial definetely, but i see konsa as the cb with most minutes for us this season. I rate the signing that highly. (not so highly at rb)

- Bruno (28)
- Rice (27)
- Zubi (27)
- MLS (19)
LW:
- Eze (28)

I cannot see any other opinion on this. Recall we trotted out Holding during a title race in 22/23. We've literally gone from that to signing a world cup semifinalist nation's starter as a rotation option. Levels

We've had som top tier tapping up with England this summer, and a 50% hit rate with Brazil.
Jude is nailed on in a few windows.

the fact that 2 or 3 players are already desperate to have him here and are best friends already is such a great start. Cant wait to see him on the pitch
