Mings for £26m
Football is s**** man.I would be devastated if we spent even 5 million on him. Football really is f***ed if he's going for that.
You obviously aren't aware of the transformative effect he had on us.
He was phenomenal for us last year. In fact, his arrival was just as influential as grealish returning on us winning ten in a row and getting promoted.
He's brilliant on the ball, brings it out of defence superbly, never resorts to hoofing it, almost always completes his pass (and I am not talking about to someone stood five yards from him), commanding in the air, and it was his leadership that changed our defence from being a mid table comedic mess to one that barely conceded for a large chunk of the season.
You will not find a villa fan who disagrees with that.
During one game, the guy who sits next to me turned to me and said "I know this sounds nuts but he reminds me of Paul McGrath". Obviously, comparing a mere mortal to a deity is not acceptable, but I understand why he said that.
I CGAF if he cost 20m (20m being the new 5m), I am extremely relieved we've signed him.
And that folks, is how we should all equate a player’s value as a footballer rather than ££££. Yes fees are insane, but if this lad is a good player for Villa and having him makes them a better team, whether he cost 1m or 50m, that’s all that matters. We should know. Rondon for 30m would be worth it. 16m is a steal.
There is always the flip side of that of course when the likes of Joselu cost 5m.
Regardless, Villa are investing in their squad and showing ambition and a desire to pay whatever they can afford for players they rate. If that means 20m + for Mings when you get 5 times that just by being in the league, it’s all relative anyway!
John P's point above is very valid, too - that was in the championship, the premier league is a different thing altogether, but that's the case for a lot of our players. Mings deserves the chance, though, based on what he did for us.
Another point, the fans absolutely love him. He's a cult figure, not getting him on a permanent would have been a massive blow to morale, it's good to see the club acting on it (and I accept, knowing that, Bournemouth were in a strong bargaining position).
One reason the fans love him: this is him at Bournemouth station the day after the play offs win. He'd travelled down on the train in full kit, medal round his neck.
He's scum he should be in prison for what he did to Oliveria. Vile

You just know the likes of, Elliot, Lazaar, Clark, colback, Aarons, Saivet, Murphy, Joselu and Gayle will all be lined up to feature next year.
So grim. They are championship level at best and some of them not even that. We should have moved on from them ages ago yet we are going back to players who weren't good enough in the PL 2/3 years ago. Comical

This is mad! It's got to implode soon when bog standard centre halfs are worth 30-50m
-
Not loyal ffs. 52k for the last god knows how many years including the championship. The whole country would know the reason for 10k empty seats
-
You would imagine there would be someone in place by end of next week?!
Apparently they’re ”hopeful” of it being done before the season starts
what a club Just asking to be relegated, begging for it.
-
Mitrovic has committed his future to Fulham. He is going to destroy that league again.
Again
-
Meanwhile we won't even pay 16m for a proven PL striker in Rondon
We don't belong in this league -
26m
:lol: He should be in jail as well
-
Flight scanners
:lol: -

Absolute lifting again from the chronicle. Other than Gayle that crock of shit would struggle for a game at Sunderland
-
we'll probably still be signing players on the recommendation of the head scout, if they meet Ashley's criteria. It's then up to the new manager/yes man to work with them as effectively as possible.
f*** everything, though.
Yep. Hence the head coach bollocks. No aim at all to build a team

All that's happened here is that someone supposedly in the know has said that he would cost Man U more than they paid for Wan-Bassika.
It's impossible to say what figure would clinch the deal, but at least it's heartening to know that the club have some idea of the player's value.
Having said that, I wouldn't sell him. For us, at this point, he's too important.
Too important
he's played about 7 games and 0 goals and barely an assist? He was hardly pulling up trees in league 1 last year was he?You've already admitted you've barely watched the lad play. He scored against Burnley as well as against Blackburn in the FA cup. He was quite often our best player during the run of games he started. He won the penalty against Man City. By all accounts he was brilliant for Blackpool.
A quick online search would have given you this information.
Fair one. I just hardly ever see anything of us these days. Thanks mike

What a freak, check out his bio man
A total f***ing arsehole that bloke.
With fans like that we are f***ed.
There are 40k more just like him

:lol: #bishopbrainwashed

And how could Man United just go and get Rakitic, Asensio or James Rodriguez?
Bt offering 50 odd million maybe
-
Shouldn’t have even gave Man Utd a price (if the reports are true). Not for sale.
100%
I've never seen him play other than highlights v Man City when he looked tidy. Is he even that good? Like what's his best attributes or who is he similar too?
Is he really going to improve a top 6 side and be able to play CL etc? The feed for English players aren't mental. For an extra 10-15m or even 50m they could just go and get a proven class midfielder like Rakitic, Asensio, James Rodriguez etc
I dont even know why I’m asking this but how or why haven’t you seen him play or read a single thing about him?
Ashley's nufc isn't it
-
Be some going like considering they are about the only 2 we have produced in a decade
