Ricey Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 Fantastic first season, average/flaky last season. If he wasn't a high earner I'd like to keep him, but he is and needs must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitlock Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 If he wasn't on big money like we guess he is, i'd love for him to stay. One of the most experienced players we have at the club. He would be good to have around the club I think. He is a cockney so I guess QPR would suit him as well. How many players does Redknapp want to sign?

RizLCFC Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 This could just be lazy journalism. Konch was linked with them in the past, whilst he's been at Leicester and before that when at Fulham, and QPR are thought to be after a left back. It would be good if Bert or ToffeeFox could confirm if there is any genuine interest in him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyh Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 Even though I think we should sell to free up his wages hopefully to sign a cb and striker on loan/free! do think that he has been our best leftback for the last 10 years or so!?! Would be sad to see him go but his best days are now behind him, could still do a job though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 His distribution is the one thing I've noticed more than anything else becoming more and more erratic over course of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loggy88 Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 I like Knoch but to get his wages off the books would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 Still noone with any financial figures for his wages. I say if it turned out he was on say 10k a week the opinion of him would change a fair bit. Good defender, old head with bags of experience. Keep him.

Burmesefox Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 good player - great going forward and would be sad to see him go. What's his wages - people keep speculating but no one knows do they? Depends on his wages in relation to his peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 Hopefully it's true, I said last week instead of selling someone like Kasper, Morgan or Nugent, it would be better if we sold someone like Konch. He came in and performed consistently, past season he has gone down hill and it seems his legs are beginning to go. This will get his wages off our books, and hopefully Gallagher or Danns but hopefully both follow him out the door. Then we can strengthen in areas we really need.

mrmagoomc4 Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 i hope this happens cost us vital points last year with hs inept defending get rid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danizen Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 'arry is looking for a left-back and his limited imagination landed on Wayne Bridge who looks like he's going to Reading so it should be a matter of time before the twitchy one looks at Paul Konchesky. Called it two months ago. #smug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach0000 Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 My concern would be that we have bakayogo who we haven't even see play competitively and thats it. I would prefer him to stay as back up if we won't replace him. And anyway in my opinion konchesky is a decent left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayfox Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 if we are going to persist in playing 352 this season then I guess we have 2 options, we convert him to the left sided centre back, he's too old and slow to offer the best option as wing back. or we clear his wages, bring in a proper centre back on half his wages no doubt. wouldn't be looking to get rid of him, however if the current financial climate if we can get qpr to pay a few quid for him and we lose him from the wage bill, then it makes sense all round.

Maybes Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 Sounds like there is definitely something in this. If we are receiving a fee, I would sell. Coming towards the end of his careers and a big earner. Like others have said, he's been a good servant over the last few years, but I think we could cope should he leave.

Wymsey Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 I believe he's one of the highest paid here. I wouldn't mind if we sold him, but I'm concerned that isn't another player really who has got enough experience at LB - I don't think Schlupp should be deployed there, whilst Bakayogo I'm still unsure about (even if we only play 3 at the back).

Greatness_Since_1884 Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 With a heavy heart this might be best for all. Good player who gave it hid all. We've got Dyer and Zoom for LWB and if it brings funds to get another CB then it's best for all of this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 Given us a couple of years good service, but if we can reduce the wage bill further it's in our best interests. I think we'd miss him in the squad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterborofox Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 Good deal in terms of money as he must be on a bit. But been decent for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 Shame Everton's Stones is a right-back, would've loved to have him on loan. I know what you mean! Shame Pepe Reina is a GK as he would of been great too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Ted Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 Don't get me wrong, you can never fault his effort or professionalism but he is a downfall on our team. Horrendous attacking wise, distribution is one thing... hoofball. Slow, awful positioning. We can do better than this liability, he was awful last year and I'd say that he was at fault/partly at fault for half of the goals we conceded last season.

MrSpaM Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 Dont understand why we'd get rid of him when we dont have the money available to replace him. Think people ought to be careful what they wish for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 5 August 2013 Share Posted 5 August 2013 Dont understand why we'd get rid of him when we dont have the money available to replace him.
