He basically got castrated on national tv in the first game. Great for the confidence

We do supposedly have buy back option I have said previously that I wonder if we were effectively considering his move a 2 year loan if stuff worked out and he developed we bring him back.Originally posted by frank the tank View Post
It will be interesting to see what happens with Konate as he has been much worse repeatedly than Quansah was on the opening day of last season, and he needs dropping, but injuries are preventing that.
We all knew that we needed another CB and thought the Guehi deal would go through. Hindsight is 20:20 but Quansah could also have filled in at RB so was someone who gave us options, on top of that he was HG. I guess if Guehi comes in we are saying he is an upgrade at essentially the same price as we got for QuansahThe only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

Quansah will be a better player than guehi.removing all the weak links makes us stronger

I agree with all of this. Quansah seemed to have loads of potential. And in a team that went on to win the league, it seems bizarre how he wasn't given further opportunities to develop. I suppose I get the plan must have been to get that Italian kid and Guehi. But why we kept Gomez - who Slot clearly doesn't trust or is too injury prone - and not Quansah seems weird.Felching ≠ GerbillingComment

I just think it all opens up potential risk. Risk of a new player who you donÂ’t know not settling, a transfer not working out, an injury. A kid thatÂ’s been through the ranks, knows the club, knows (well does anyone) the systems, knows the players. Why get rid? The biggest wins ever are when one of our own breaks through and Quansah profiles and progression was not far from perfect.
Also, human beings hate massive levels of change and it feels staggering to me that the level of incoming and outgoing players wasnÂ’t identified as a risk through disruption.
I was loving the ambition of the transfer window but weÂ’d just won the League so was concerned by the levels of it. Then throw in Diogo passing and it really is creating a potentially vulnerable environment which is suboptimal on elite sport.Modifying post.Comment

He seems to be a player who gets affected too easy by his mental state. He was absolutely horrid before we sold him. Whats more a shock is getting rid of a defender who single handed got us back into CL. We could sure use one of those right now!Comment

I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

Helps even less that our opponents know they'll cut inside at some point as we have zero threat from a crossed ball.Originally posted by fidget View PostComment

The thing for me is not that the wingers don’t track back because they cba. It’s tactical. Its not junior football,”Mo, Cody why the **** aren’t you tracking back”?
You could fix that in one day.
The point is that the traps and trigger points that are set where we press as a unit aren’t working and then the releases are equally not on when we do. All the underlying stats in our attempts to press are good - we just aren’t turning over the ball.
The idea is that we win the ball back and then have players in advanced areas where we can counter quickly with players in advanced positions. Otherwise we change to a low block.
The issue (or at least one of them) is so clearly tactical.Modifying post.Comment

It's definitely tactical but they've got no pace either.
By the time they've cut back to shoot (or occasionally put a cross in) the opposition are set and it's congested.
I think we've got the squad to play far more effective attacking football but in my opinion there's no place for Mo or Gapko in the starting 11.Glass Half FullComment
