At Anfield watching the game, Im going to take that as we have signed him.

We do need a left back but in my eyes hes not an immense player, only time will tell though I suppose, models himself on Julian Dicks I seem to remember.....

Good luck mate, hope you outshine yourself here finally in a great team, we know you have a load of heart, hope you apply yourself in the right way.

Jesus wept....I thought this was all going to be a joke.
We ARE going to sign this muppet....

[OneHotRed]

Just got to wait, you never know he might step up his game being in a better team, i refuse to slag someone off untill ive seem him make a of himself, Good luck you bald gimp with funny eyes!!!

not the worst player ever, pretty steady, consistent, reliable

[Fowler_E7]

This is what things have come to Liverpool are signing Paul Konchesky, whats next Matthew Etherington on the left wing? I knew things were bad but this confirms it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

[OneHotRed]

Question you have to ask yourself is that was he the best we could have got for the money? Although i like Aurelio, there is no chance in hell he will stay fit for a season, and although I rate Agger highly, Konchesky would have done 20 times better against Adam Johnson against man city.

[dawson99]

hes not that bad, England International, this is a good step up and chance for him (He's 29, perfect age, this is his last chance)

[Fauxy]

People are jumping on this fella because hes from Fulham.

He is actually a pretty good player. Got a very nice cross on him and is good defensively.

[Bad Bob]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he's miles better than Andrea Dossena, Philip Degen and some of the other fullbacks we've had at the club in recent years.  (Not meant as a dig at the former manager, more as a reality check for some of our supporters...)

[puroresu]

Evra cost £5.5 mil.  Clichy didnt even cost a £1 mil did he?

Konchesky is average at best.  Will he do a job?  Yes.  Should we be aiming higher?  Hell yeah!!

[Cool Hand Luke]

Konchesky is a decent enough left back but I'll be disappointed if we pay the reported £4 million for him. He is nearly 30 and and only has 11 months on his contract so £4 million does not represent value for money. If he was 25 and had a long term contract he would be worth around £3-4 million.

In any case, he will be a reliable enough option at left back, not an excellent player or even a very good one, but reliable enough. Nicky Shorey was available for about £1 million and would  have been a better option considering the money being quoted for Konchesky and Luke Young.

[Benny The Noon]

Koncesky is not as bad as being made out to be - he is a pretty solid left back with a lot of experience and is better than Insua .

[Dundalk]

Not brilliant  - not terrible

Not worth 4 million though imo

[Benny The Noon]

4 million ?!? WTF - seriously 4 Million ?!? He is ok but that's 3 million more than he is worth - So Fulham get Salcido who is miles better for 1.5 mil and we give them 4 mil for Koncesky - that's shocking business

Paul Scharner is at Anfield today
