ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 That can't be right, that's what he was rumoured to be on at Liverpool!
1994fox Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 now every sodding tom dick and harry is going to want 20k plus, bloody media
ScouseFox Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Thanking you and Sven for taking Konchesky off our hands. Probably a good deal all round, last year he was bought for over £4mill and Hodgson had no doubt he'd fit into a "top 4" side. But it turned out he was utterly useless compared to what was expected. For the Championship, he's a good player, but for a team with Champions League ambitions, not so. We get a bit of money back, you get a hard working player who'll be more than good enough for a Championship side. Cheers. Liverpool fan I know had that to say, pretty honest opinion really.
Dames Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Doubt the 40k a week very much. But this is a good signing, he's been a steady premier league player for years. Maybe Liverpool was too much of a step up but for the Championship he's arguably the best left back in the division when on form.
kingfox Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Yeah scousefox agree with everything he says, he has played Premier League football for most of his career and has been very good at mid-table clubs. Hodgson was impressed with him in a good Fulham side, so he isn't that bad. Going with the wage money is that true, only a twitter comment but I doubt it would be that much...
Dr The Singh Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 1.5 mill and on 40k, that's just crazy, and I doubt the 40k!!! Not impressed with this signing, he didn't impress at forest, we could do better!
Happy Fox Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Football_Agent9 Football Agent @ @liamlcfc Doesn't matter who your owners are, the club can't afford it. Chelsea were in 500 m debt when Roman is the owner...
Liamlcfc1 Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 doubt its 40K a week more like 15-20K still a lot IMO but its King Powers money
StevieLCFC Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Fourth_Official Fourth Official Paul Konchesky is a #LCFC player, the contracts had already been signed, the paper work is the FA registration which won't take long.
kingfox Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Just been reading on the florist forums about their opinions on Konchesky. Couple said he wasn't good enough, while most said he was commited and poored his heart out for the club to play. Said he did well in most games apart from an odd couple towards the end of the season May time. So not that bad, wasn't having game time at Liverpool and confidence knocked a bit, but reading some florist comments they don't seem to bad at all.
General Smuts Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 We're buying the league, we're buying the league, now we're ****ing loaded, we're buying the league!
nickelbyfox Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Not happy with this if i am honest, regardless of how much we are paying him! Suppose Maiselea isnt coming
MikeyT Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Not happy with this if i am honest, regardless of how much we are paying him! Suppose Maiselea isnt coming Why?
ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Why? For what it's worth, Ian Stringer doesn't think Masilela will be coming
nickelbyfox Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Why? Spending 1.5 million on a left back, paying something for a season long loan for maiselea and we have berner? Seems a lil excessive to have 3 left backs
sdb Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 If the £40k is true then i'm genuinely worried about the future of this club. So far our deals have either represented value for money, or purchased a very valuable and much needed player (Mills). This deal does neither. It's bad enough we've paid for a player I'm convinced Liverpool would've let go for free, but matching his already ridiculous wages when he drops a division, is desperate to leave and has no other options... well, it scares the crap out of me. Risdale at Leeds is what springs to mind. I hope the reports/tweets are wildly inaccurate, in which case fine, but I fear this one may suggest we have more money than sense, and with a manager (who I love) who can't say no to a player...things could get messy long term. Sorry to be so negative but it's my gut feeling right now.
kingfox Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Not happy with it, so you rather have Masiela, who hasn't played English football and has hardly ever been seen by us Leicester fans. I'd be happy with Konchesky, his not flaming Kaebi or Canero in disguise you know
wurmer Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Why are people getting upset about a RUMOUR from TWITTER about his salary.... It's TWITTER for crying out loud!!!!!!

samstown92 Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 He was good at West Ham and Fulham, he had a bad season with Liverpool, he was okay at Forest, I think pre-season and a full season in the championship will bring his old form back, he has experience in championship and premiership, he can speak English too . I don't know what to make of it but we need to get behind him and hope he gives it his all
LeeTheFox Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Rather have ryan mcgivern than pay 40k a week for this guy!
