    Brighton would be a better move for Ezri but I would imagine that won't be a seaon-long loan back to us. They'll need him straight away.
  • Have to agree I'm not that bothered about Konsa going. When everyone is fit based on current ability I'd have Pearce as first choice and it's then close between Konsa and Bauer. If he was going to stay I'd put Konsa ahead of Bauer just to aid his development but there's really not much in it.

    Who cares...it's all going in Roland's piggy bank.

    Just goes to show how obscene football has become. 8 Mil for Konsa is ridiculous. I hate to say it but he's average at best,

    I normally get really worked up and annoyed that our youngsters leave, really couldn't give a toss about Konsa though, he just isn't that good

    He's not better than Gomez, not even equal to him, but he's certainly at least a potential Championship centre back. I think League 1 is his level for now.

    8m is a great fee but who cares as its going into RD's pocket. Cant see KR getting any funds to spend.

    8m is mental

    Gomez would have been worth 20-25m based on that in todays market

    I wouldn't necessarily believe the numbers quoted as it could be bumped up a bit from papers, hopefully if its the nail in Douche's coffin a payoff so he can go then good riddance. No offence to Konsa but i would take that, we wont see any of it regardless of the price so a leaving present for Mr D.

    That Gomez deal that thick head negotiated is up there with the worst things she’s done while with us
  • I suspect Ezri might have to end up as World Cup winning captain and see Brighton lift the Champions League for an £8 million figure being remotely accurate. Fee will be undisclosed but I’m thinking it’s closer to £3 - 4 million than eight.

    I would bite anyones hand off at that price. Think of the rebuilding we could do with just half of that money. Oh, hold on..... #intorolandspocket

    The £8m figure suggests Konsa hasn't got a release clause in his contract, whereas I thought Gomez did have one(?)

    He'll be a sub at best. I can't see why Brighton are interested in him, surely in their position, if they buy someone, it has to be a player who's ready for the PL now. The "Big 6" type clubs are different, they can afford to gamble on potential
  • If RD pockets the money from Konsa's sale as anticipated, I can take that if it means he's more willing to accept a realistic offer for the club.

    “Konsa set to stay at Charlton as teams balk at 5 million fee”

    Good news if true, hopefully new owners by then who will keep him, or reinevest his transfer fee.

    Not likely to command massive wages/he should increase in value as he gets to his peak/lots of potential/useful to have if they get relegated (which is well on the cards). Brighton have been spending a lot for a few years now....perhaps they'll try to buy an experienced defender for this season too.

    Konsa is a decent Championship player but not good enough for the Premiership (at the moment). His main attribute is his pace - he got us out of trouble last Saturday when he cut in front of one of the players to stop a breakaway towards the end of the game.

    £8m is insane but as previous posters have said its more likely to be £4m plus add-ons. I would be sad to see him go, but I think we have cover there until the end of the season & who knows what will happen then.

    5 million is far more realistic than 8 million.
    If konsa being sold speeds up Roland selling then bring it on.

    I wonder if a £5m to £8m payment into Roland's back pocket might be enough to clear the log jam we are in with the potential buyers?

    @Redhenry and others have said that there is a gap between what Duchatelet wants and what the two parties (who've completed due diligence in October and more recently) are prepared to pay.

    So would £5m/£8m plus the £20m to £25m (Guesstimates from me not ITK numbers) the preferred bidder has put on the table to enough to make Mr Duck Tape sign on the dotted line, feck off back to St Truiden and never trouble us again?

    Discuss.

    I genuinely have no idea. Would be nice.

    £8m. Chris Powell built a title winning squad on less than £1m. Imagine what could be achieved if even a fraction of any money raised from selling Konsa went back into the squad.

    Gomez did have one. It had to be included to get him to sign a pro deal at 17.

    24 appearances later, his agent told Liverpool about the clause and the rest is history.

    We are dealing with a deluded tosser though who knows far more than us.

    I'm not sure he's even a decent Championship player at the moment, I couldn't see him playing 40 games at CB for Derby or Villa this season, he's not physically strong enough

    This will come, but he's nowhere neat the finished article yet

    Exactly - it might as well be 50p ...we ain’t seeing a penny of it.

    That said, it’s it’s £8m closer to Roly f@cking off, then so be it.

    Maybe even more....when you consider Stones went for nearly £50m (admittedly he was already playing on the Premier League and had played for England).

    This will of course give any buyer of the club a bargaining chip as RD has just sold one of the clubs prized assets.

    Does this mean an 8million quid discount for the buyer now?
