    Seems like a long deal to give to a player who’s been plagued with injuries from a young age and not really been involved. Nevertheless, great news for him 
    This is because he is THAT highly thought of.  He is 0ften compared with Gomez who was raved about at the club from when he was 14

    Josh Laq will go far in that game once he finishes growing and plays regularly
    Agree, he looks the real deal

    He is going to be a very powerful young man when he finishes growing.
    Has a good attitude.

    Physicality of Gomez with the ball-playing of Konsa would be an awesome mix

    Gomez was a tank from the moment he stepped on the field at Championship level at 17 years old. I don’t think there’s much of a comparison.

    While Laq might develop into a very good player, he’s already 19 and so far is only getting minutes off the bench in cup games. Some of that will be due to injuries of course.

    He might have a very good career ahead of him but I’ll be stunned if a top 6 side is banging the door down to buy him within 18 months.

    Great news to him signed up to effectively a 3.5 year deal before he’s become a regular in the first team.

    He impressed me on a recent u21 stream. I had seen him the odd time in the past, but that game he really showed his ability and composure on the ball. Combine that with the physical side and you have a young CB with a lot of potential.

    It’s going to be interesting to see how he progresses along with Zach Mitchell, who could also become a very good CB. It’s tough enough for them to break through in that position, but even more so with them competing with each other.

    I wonder if Zach Mitchell would be a very good defensive midfielder in the future.

    3 at the back suits young centre backs better than a 2, as they have the security of 2 more experienced CBs alongside them. Plus in a 3, you do need one of the CBs to be good on the ball, which suits Zach perfectly.
