Paul Konchesky

[lifetime fan]

I'm not too concerned about this signing, yes a few vindictive comments have been made by those strangely not over the last managers depature but this guy is much better than the last left back that Benitez signed and twice as cheap so if you look at it like that it is a good deal.

 

So we judge all the new managers signings against the last managers worst ones to decide if it's a good deal?

 

Nonsense.

7 of your last 20 odd posts.

 

Better than the last pile of shite left back the previous manager signed, our record fee paid for a defender, fuckin joke.

 

Benitez failed in the Premiership.

 

Maybe now some of the Rafa haters will finally see the benefit of what he did, and what he was doing with our club.

 

Benitez fucked up and deserved to be sacked

 

That banner was made by moronic bitter Benitez backers, it should just have Hicks and Gillett on it.

 

Better manager than Rafa although it should be put to him that they would have been down to ten men

 

He was more than good enough when you consider we paid 8 odd million for Dossena and played Insua for most of last year, a moronic decision by Benitez to sell him

 

Stop it.

If people are going to have a pop at Hodsgon then things must be pointed out.

[hamstrung]

Point them out silently in your head.

He's a solid player and will be missed. Good on the ball and gets forward well, has pace so will recover from the mistakes that he will inevitably make.

Surely as your name suggests your a Fulham fan...I thought you would have seen him play.

Roy has bought somebody who he knows and has worked with and with just a few days until the close of the transfer window that seems fair enough to me.

 

I didnt mind Insua myself but if Roy's going to let him go then he has to replace him because Aurelio,'The Glass Man,' is going to have his fair share of injuries as usual.

 

Konchesky's not the best but not the worst either and has Premier League experience,which is worth a lot in this coming season, more so than most.

No point making sensible posts on here mate, everyone is on suicide watch. Konchesky is a fair bit better than Insua though, I don't agree with that part.

Is Insua still likely to go this transfer window?

 

Seems to have gone a bit quiet on his possible departure.

[HornsOfJericho]

Liverpool fullbacks Last five years. Konchesky is better than all of them apart from Johnson and Finnan. He'll probably be our best left back in the last five.

 

Aurelio

Dossena

Insua

Warknock

Josemi

Kromkamp

Degen

Johnson

Finnan

Darby

No idea; the difficulty appears to be that no-one wants to pay him what he's expecting.

Bummer.

[PaulMcC]

He's joining. Time to get behind him in the ground.

 

Obviously everyone hopes he does well.

 

Obviously if he peope ethink he's played poorly it should be allowed to be pointed out without people going mental about not giving him a chance.

I think he wants to stay and fight for his place.

[piscinin]

I think he wants to run his contract down myself.

We'll still get a fee for him anyway, won't we?

[piscinin]

A compensation fee, not sure TBH there's something about having to offer him a contract or something. Maldini would know.

Surely we won't do another Ronald Huth?

 

Offer him a deal on the same terms, he'll reject it and we get the compensation fee.

[Trucker Paddy]

Depending on who you believe he either had 1 or 4 years left on his contract.

Genoa are playing udinese at 5pm, worth watching to see how shit there leftback must be that they want Insua

[Bubble]

Bummer.

 

No need for that. He was just answering your question.

Sounds sensible, he's bound to make out on the difference between a transfer fee and the compensation fee though.

 

haha Huth, we call that a Gosling now though!

The squad average age will become 30 at this rate.

[Antynwa]

We've got no money, we can't sell our players and guarantee funding fron any potential sales.

 

This is the level we are at now, he may or may not prove to be a good player for us, and the responsibility will lay at Hodgson's door regardless. But lets not make this about Hodgson's ambitions, because this is simply about making the best of a bad situation.

 

It's about time people accepted we are fucking skint, and that when you're fucking skint you can't buy anyone of quality.

[HornsOfJericho]

Mourinho and Ancellotti prefer older players as they feel they are more desperate to win things.

 

I'll follow what they have to say, thanks.

He has always reminded me of the murderous Yul Brynner robot in Westworld.
