Having Quansah as starter doesn’t mean we need to cash in on Konate - and he’s never given any indication that he wouldn’t accept his current role - which is he’ll play if he’s fit and playing better than the alternatives - he needs to win his place back, which was ever the case when Matip was around.
To be fair, the style Klopp plays is very demanding on our CBs. They always have to be on the front foot and try to win the ball high up, otherwise they will be chasing back due to the high line, or covering for the full backs, especially on our right.
I still remembered a game where Konate actually covered the whole right side and made 3 tackles on a couple of players on his own. Trent was still somewhere up top.
I am not sure Slot will play this way. He might give abit more protection to our CBs and they might not get injured so often. At least that's what I am hoping for because Konate is a quality defender on his day.
I don't get the hype over him at all. Yes he looks promising, but not to the extent that's making him out to be the best defender in the world or something. If real madrid REALLY wanted him they would have made sure to get him. The fact they feel he's not worth the 50m price tag tells me a lot.
Imagine being Quansah, best young defender in the PL, playing your heart out for your boyhood club after years of hard work. 15,000 a week.
Then this asshole from Bournemouth signs a kid three younger than you - in the exact same position you play - and pay him TEN times the amount. With a new Ferrari for him little sister too. And to top it all off the kid has a poster of Sergei Ramos in his locker.
Jarrell would go all Enzo Fernandez on the bus.
15,000 a week. I could live with that!
I assume he'll be getting a new contract this summer
Didn’t Quansah start last season playing on the left and the only reason he’s played on the right is due to Virgil.
Is it possible that Quansah is the natural replacement for Virgil and with Yorro, that could have been our CB partnership potentially sewn up for the next decade?

Not arsed, it's early days and people on social media are flapping and calling for FSG out, etc. Pretty standard Summer then.
We rarely buy this early anyway and I guess Slot wants to assess what he has, not that he probably has much say in comings and goings anyway.

Add to that he's 18. We've had two youths hit development issues in the last couple of seasons so that would add to the caution. Finally the salary is bat shit 150k/week OTE and a built-in guarantee of increases per year
This isn't really true. Looked back at all our transfers in Klopp's tenure, and a common theme is that we did most of our business in June or early July, and sometimes even in May.
We haven't been averse to a few late deals, but typically we've gone in and signed our main targets by June or early July.
This does seem like a very quiet window, and I think we'll get maybe 1 signing at the most

We're toast as far as signings go. 😢
We do usually buy early but the new manager factor means we don’t. And no way our value driven footbal director goes for Yoro man
Anyway yiu end up with the wrong players with this methods. United have been doing this for years. Once a player hits this culture they go downhill.

We praised the Edwards way of doing business and identifying players, so a bit of patience is required I guess.
62 mill for a 18 year old with 1 year left on his deal, 150k per week and 60 games in the top flight.
Yeah, Edwards computer says no.
The deciding factor was probably a Sergio Ramos poster on his wall.
