Konchesky got to the Europa League final while none of our defenders did. We can prove anything with assumptions. And while I have full respect for Adam, I feel people are advocating him out of desperation. If we still had Alonso and Mascherano, nobody would give him a thought. Even when we had players of that standard, we still didnt win the league. therefore, we should be looking for players of that standard or better for our fine club. Adam, while having a great season (and fair f***s to him) is not in that bracket. Please don't let our current situation, which is an anomaly and not the norm, sully our expectations. Think about it, if our owners lower expectations in this manner, we'll only consolidate our current position instead of getting back where we belong. Embrace Kenny's attitude, we cannot and will not accept second best. Our owners will be guided by our expectations, don't give them an excuse to settle for less than the best. Rant over.
