The Ezri Konsa Thread

If we had signed Ezri for £60m, nobody would say we had paid too much. Such a quality footballer.


£12m. No offence to Axel but thank god he believed Ole's bullshit about getting a chance at Utd. Thank god Dean Smith pushed for this lad as he has turned into one of the best CBs I've seen at Villa Park. Certainly the best we've had since the days of King Olof and Laursen.
 
Konsa has been the ultimate rock since he joined. Even when we were a lot shitter than now he had some crazy stats. Im going to bed so I'm not going to find them but one was something like he was only dribbled past twice in a whole season.

Something like that anyway. Always loved Konsa.

Ezri was the England age group choice over Axel, so it was clear to most that he was the better footballer even then. The trajectory of both their careers has been polar opposites since Axel was at Villa in the Championship. It's nice that we made the right choice, because they weren't a common thing back then.

Think Unai could have improved Axel as he had all the attributes, but glad that we are currently stuck with Ezri :lol:
 
Now that his distribution has improved he is becoming a exceptional defender. I'd prefer that he doesn't play in that right back position too often though.
 
He is a superb centre back, he is a very good right back. Doesnt matter, emery trusts him in both positions over other players. Absolutely fantastic to see him flourish under emery.
