Love how a bit of a bias shapes the narrative. Hardly ever been a no dickhead filter at Villa has there?

Konsa steps forward and Neal gets pushed away.The Twitter comments are the best - Villa fans thinking they’ve got in Neils head, he does that to everyone they’re not special!
And who’s Konsa anyway to be hiding behind his staff, the old pretending game “hold me back or I’ll get him, honest”
Too right!My money on Neal every day of the week in that one!
Yup.Its the fight in the dog. Bit like Lee vs Hunter all those years ago.My money on Neal every day of the week in that one!
Neal carries a stiletto in his thong. You could see his hand hovering nervously every time Pontus got near him in training. TheEzri is a unit, I reckon he’d batter Neal
roflThink this was previously on the Neal Maupay thread but there was a story doing the rounds a couple of years ago when we played QPR away in the League Cup when Neal scored a couple of goals. Apparently his girlfriend had come over from France to watch the game and after the game he asked Dean Smith if he could meet his GF and get the train straight into London to show her the London lights rather than go back with the team on the official coach.
He was advised by club staff that getting on the tube at White City, with his GF in tow, with him in his full club tracksuit might not be the smartest idea with RaRa fans also making their way home. His response "Boss, you haven't seen me fight!"
My money's definitely on Neal still lol lol lol

I never really warmed to Konsa. Decent enough player but seemed completely devoid of any personality and was clearly just passing through which worked out well for everyone. Very much the epitome of a modern day footballer.
See post 169Scores last minute winner v Watford this evening.
No he didn’tScores last minute winner v Watford this evening.

Doesn't matter who scored it, that's a huge win for Villa.Oh yeah. Given to Mings...lol
No sign of Jota.On the bench today for the EFL Cup final.
No surprise there, although his namesake did score for Wolves today.No sign of Jota.
Seventh goal in three games.No surprise there, although his namesake did score for Wolves today.
Surprised that he didn't get on, as the so called experts said that Smith should have switched to five at the back.Looking like Villa could have done with EK today.... plus the XI who are already out there!!! lol
Interesting he name checks Jeanvier.Article in the Guardian today with only minor mentions of us.

Ezri Konsa: 'I haven’t got any secret – it’s about learning my trade' | Paul Doyle
Aston Villa centre-back reveals how listening to John Terry and watching videos of Paul McGrath has improved his all-round gamewww.theguardian.com
No chance, Maupay is a ghetto boy and nailsEzri is a unit, I reckon he’d batter Neal
Personally, I always though Konsa had everything to be an excellent CB and was extremely disappointed that he was persuaded to want to move on so quickly. I can also see why he name-checked Jeanvier as he was a player who's focus was on defending, more-or-less at the expense of everything else.Interesting he name checks Jeanvier.
No loyalty to DS, who took a lot of flak for his early performances at AV?Great to see him improve. The chunky sell on will come![]()
It would take a £60m offer for Aston Villa to sell England Under-21 defender Ezri Konsa, 23, who has been linked with a move to Liverpooland Tottenham. Former Villa and England striker Gabby Agbonlahor said it would take "five times" the £12m that Villa paid Brentford for Konsa in 2019 to now prise him from Villa Park
He reminded me a bit of a centreback we had on loan from Chelsea about 10-15 years ago. He was quite nimble, reasonably skilful, not very tall or powerfully built for a centreback. Started well and played maybe 10 games for us before disappearing back to the Blues. Anyone remember his name?Weird really, he never looked that good IMO for us, but that's why I'm not a football scout![]()
Joel Kitamirike?He reminded me a bit of a centreback we had on loan from Chelsea about 10-15 years ago. He was quite nimble, reasonably skilful, not very tall or powerfully built for a centreback.

That's the one. Thanks... I was going to go mad trying to remember who it was. Longer ago (2003-4) and more appearances (25) than I thought. Doesn't time fly, etc?Joel Kitamirike?
That was the high point of his football career. 5 years later he got sent down for dealing Class A drugs.That's the one. Thanks... I was going to go mad trying to remember who it was. Longer ago (2003-4) and more appearances (25) than I thought. Doesn't time fly, etc?
Yes I get that comparisonHe reminded me a bit of a centreback we had on loan from Chelsea about 10-15 years ago.

I seem to remember having a few Chelsea loanees during those times, Kitamirike among them but Keenan and Tillen as well. None of them seemed any good and were only marginally better than what we had at the time.Yes I get that comparison
