A good player but nothing special in my opinion. Far to negative for my liking but Brentford !! A much smaller club than Charlton. Not massively disappointed.
Yesterday someone commented on my post about Konsa on Chinese social media site Weibo saying that he'll be sold soon. I thought he was joking and replied 'not in the near future'. One day later now and he's sold?!?! What the hell!
In a way, good for him as he has seen it as his next step up in regards to the footballing pyramid. Instead of signing for Premier League team and going on loan, he can make a permanent go at playing in the Championship before possibly proving he’s good enough to get that move to play for a Premier League team.
They must have paid what we were after and what the Aussie’s were happy with too. With this going through, the takeover must be close now.
I don’t think Konsa is good enough yet for the Premier League, but he has made the next step up. Hopefully we can use this money to help us build.
Don’t really get the ‘BRENTFORD?!’ Uproar, if they pay the asking price then that’s all that matters. Welling could have stumped up £3.5m (?) and we’d have sold him to them.
A lot of ignorance here towards what Brentford have become. They're the textbook model for any typical L1 club who want to break bigger
Although I don't see many of our fans agreeing with their choice to get rid of their academy.
Fair point - but they've found a method that works for them, and it's gotten them places.
I'm not saying we should follow their model - we have the fanbase, catchment area and spirit that means an academy model is still preferable. But they've worked wonders for a club of their size
Sorry to see another one of our youngsters go. Good luck to him. Will not have to move homes I assume and playing at a better level. Probably will not be a bench warmer like some that have gone.
Not sure he had what it took to play at the highest level. But versatile and decent - who gets the money? That is what I am more interested in! The figures quoted could quite easily fund a realistic push for promotion next season!

I'd be annoyed if we sold Pearce or Bauer to a club like Brentford.

Good luck for the future Ezri.
