If true then... £3.5M price. We get 5% back to spend on the team, so £175K. Ben Amos, Clarke and Fosu. Roland gets closer to break even. We get closer to league two.
How does selling konsa take us closer to league 2?
Erm by selling out best (and only) ball playing centre back, who is also our right back and centre mid cover, for peanuts and not investing any of the money.
If we were selling to buy a top striker I could understand it. But for a goal keeper? There should be a few good ones looking for a loan next season from further up the food chain.
Flogging Konsa for £3.5million would be a dismal deal In the current market and one which would, yet again, underscore Duchatelet's complete lack of football ambition.
Not happened yet and it seems odd that the source is hedging their bets by giving three names.
But Bowyer said Konsa might be going and Robinson said last week one or two might go. And a league 1 club selling its good young players, especially this one, isn't a surprise.
Not massively bothered as I'm not sure he's anywhere near the standard of previous youngsters we've sold ala lookman, Gomez, Shelvey. It is however very concerning that people are still buying into the regimes bullshit when they continue to sell off our assets and refuse to reinvest in the team. Wake up people.
As I posted earlier, it is a rumour posted by somebody on Not606. When asked who it was he wouldn't say. The poster then put up three names Magennis, Holmes or Konsa, he replied it was one of those. I know nothing about it. Just passing on the information.
Been told this week from a good source that there is a firm offer of £3.5m for Konsa. Don't know from which club.
Would be very underpriced if true. It's always hard to know how these deals are structured and what is guaranteed versus add-ons, sell on clause, etc., but given the money in the game we should get twice that in my opinion.
Should have gotten a lot more for Joe Gomez than we did as well.

The source didn't give three names. One of the other posters put up three names and he said it was one of them. He has not said who it is.

Dijksteel(spelling) looks a lot better defensive midfielder and I don't rate konsa at right back. I would prefer Barnes as back up. Is he a guaranteed starter at centre back ahead of Bauer and Pearce over a 46 game season? Konsa has a lot to learn and sellinghim will not mean relegation.

You're forgetting the whole issue of not having a proper squad and relying on youth players to be back up in every position which has been our undoing in each of the last 3 seasons.
Konsa is a young player but is proven at this level we cannot afford to lose him at centre back let alone the versatility and cover he brings in multiple other positions given the lack of depth and lack of utility players in the squad.

Absolutely. I would also hope that our ambitions extend beyond avoiding relegation. Any self-respecting club of Charlton's stature would be totally focused in trying to get back into the Championship. Instead, we find ourselves the lowest ranked London club and with an owner who has zero emotional attachment to the club, can only give it 1.5% of his time and attention and who appears content to coast along in League 1.
Josh is in the last year of his contract and we've already heard Robbo saying he wants to get him to sign a new one. Maybe he has refused that so we are looking to get some cash
Have read others on here saying Josh doesn't look interested in pre-season games!

But Dijksteel would start as...fifth choice for the midfield two. And RCC as sixth choice. I
When it comes to RB, I think Barnes has looked good in preseason, and according to seth looked good for the U23s last year. But beyond that we have RCC, who I thought looked very, very good against Dover, and Dijksteel, who apparently looked very good against Norwich.
Maybe it'd be better to have two experienced right backs, especially someone who could push Solly, but at this point I think that would be to the detriment of Barnes' development, and perhaps that of the other two. There is never a perfect time to blood youngsters in serious competitions. But I think the three of them have shown in pre-season that they're at least ready to be given a shot. Having three options not including Konsa allows us to spread the risk around a bit, so if Barnes isn't ready one of the other could step in.
Selling Konsa for £3 might be a give away, but if say £2m went to KR, it could help us get promoted - a bit like the Jenkinson deal helped Powell. If the first part happened, I wouldn't expect the second part to with this mob!
£3.5 is not enough imo. He's going to be an awesome ball playing centre back. What did John Stones go for when he was younger - Konsa makes fewer mistakes than he did then and he just went for £46m
The money in the prem is ludicrous so £3.5 on a punt is peanuts

I don't think he knows whats going on anymore than we do! He chops and changes the amount of new signings and positions he wants every week.

£3.5 million isn't a bad price but only if the money is re invested which we know it won't be.

I haven't heard anything about what the player wants or said that Charlton have accepted the offer.
