Nice block by Konaté and turns and sprints up the pitch at speed. I may give it till half time, just want a peep at what we've bought.
Just checked back in on the game to see Konaté's first header. Straight up like a dart. ( I bet he's good at basketball too with a standing jump that high) Still thinking Upamecano is looking slightly better.
Looks quite commanding for his age. I guess that why he's got the armband. Hes directing others and pointing all the time, also seen his reading of the ball over the top. It's good.
Yeh you're right. I think more play is going Upamecano's side as well. We've been linked with Aouar, not too impressed with him. I think Salah's lent him his boots for the game - can't find the net. Although I've now found out how to say his name 'hour'.
Thanks for the heads up. Good putting faces to names. Always good watching a game with nothing invested in it whatsoever. All my football emotions are on holiday.
Uphimself got more games so is always likely to look sharper. As long as this little.mini tournament is over quick and the lad gets to preseason day 1 with gomez and van dijk to train for 6 weeks I am happy.
France lost so I think that's it for him out there. In other related news our very own igor biscans u21 Croatia side just went out to a late goal from Spain.
Was good seeing Konate last night - the guy just towers over everyone and is rapid! Looking forward to seeing him line up against VVD.
Looks like he has all the tools required to do well for us. Just hope too much pressure isn't put on his shoulders while he's settling in.
I think he's an incredibly signing for us and as long as his body holds up, he could be immense. Him and VVD towering over everyone
He very well could be, not sure if vvd and Joemez will be fully ready for the start of the season so he could well be straight in I just hope he lads on his feet rather than has a difficult start here. Cos you know the vulchers will be circling waiting for any mistake to call him a dud
tbf i aint a vulture but i have my doubts from the little i've seen / heard of him though he has the natural attributes we need which Kabak for instance didn't imo .
