Come on? Really? Yes he was good for a few games for us but he’s 26 and he’s played 89 professional matches. Think with your head not with your heart.
-
I think if we got Cahill on a free and one other young CB with potential for about 15m that would do us, have 2 with experience with Cahill and Chester and 2 young CB’s to learn from them in Hause and +1 should be ok with that and if needed bring one more in January. Maybe Mings in January when he hasn’t played for Bournemouth and his forgotten about and his price is cheaper.
-
I totally agree. Loved Mings last year, was great to watch a real leader. But the fact is he’s played 80 games in 8 years that’s not good enough for me he obviously struggles with injuries maybe to the way he plays, I would sign him if the price was right but if we go in for someone else I won’t mind I just want a decent centre half and il be happy, Mings or no Mings.
-
Not sure el Ghazi is that tall tbh? When seen him play at villa park he looks about 5 10 and he’s definitely not very good in the air
-
I agree but I do think the premier league is less physical than the championship so in a sense easier to bed in young players but although it is harder for management to trust young players and bed them in in such a intense and high stakes league so they are less likely to give them a chance, so rock and hard place.

It’s always fun and good banter, on a Wednesday. Good bunch.
-
I think it’s a ploy to get Mings, Bournemouth now scare themselves and think we are now looking elsewhere and accept our 12m offer. Easy. Well played Smith/Suso

I wouldn’t be that’s Ashley all over. Cash in now and have no manager to annoy or fall out over. Then get in any old Tom dick or Harry and say here’s the team you’ve inherited

Villa fans getting inventive now fair play.
-
Yes let’s get this topic back on track. I think he’d be a good signing he was great for Sunderland for years, he was ok when he came to us last time, he has lots of premier league experience but his spell with the bluenoses is a slight blemish on his record and apart from his quite annoying voice he would be a good fit, it’s a yes from me.
-
100% true. Look at Sanchez at United. On 500k a week because he was ‘free’ but then upsets the dressing room because ‘how come he’s on twice what I’m on boss’!? ‘Well he was free’? You can understand why it would upset certain players at United. Could do with out that starting here.

Defensive midfielder. Patrick Vieira?

Bet lots of Bournemouth fans didn’t rate Mings, Wolves fans didn’t rate Hause. All subjective really and what doesn’t work out somewhere may work somewhere else

Why? If he had done it in the premier League maybe but he didn’t. It’s probably more like they no he’s coming to us so let’s just sit it out and wait for the fans to get impatient and see how night they go. If they get 8mill for him they should take it imo as he is more fragile than when they brought him and he hasn’t really proved anything apart from being a success in the championship, again. Oh and don’t forget the discipline issue of stamping on people’s heads lol
-
I disagree I think he would be a excellent addition, the right age, premier league experience, seems like the right type of personality that would fit in the squad, he’s also versatile as can play CDM or CB even RB, I’d be very very happy if we could pick him up and even better for a cheap deal with Ashley likely to accept a bid with no manager to fall out over it at the moment. Arsène Wenger has described Hayden as a player whose key assets are concentration, intelligence and strength. Equally comfortable at centre-back or in central midfield, whilst having also previously featured at right-back and as a playmaker.

How? They obviously don’t believe he is good enough for the premier league so surely they would be hindering us?
-
I think it was quite widely reported and frowned upon even back then tbf but yes there would be a field day now the mental health police and the whole lgbtq brigade on board too
-
I agree I always take great pride in asking people that come up the m6 if they have seen the mighty villa park they always say no
-
This. We all loved Mings last year, but is he really worth 15m plus? Bournemouth brought him for 8m from the championship, they obviously didn’t think he was good enough for the premier league so shipped him out and yes he the did brilliantly for us but only again in the championship! Put his injury problems on top of this I just don’t see how or why we should play double what Bournemouth did just because he had a awesome 4 months in the championship with us.

This is where you are a typical villa fan. Short sighted. You should use his testicle and breed many many mini hazards for the future not just spend the money for instant results for about the 2 years he has left at the top.

I think the big thing will be is that our owners won’t want to cream and profits off the top so all our income (TV, Tickets, league position ect) will be pumped straight back into the club. Some owners take away profit with a short to medium plan or view (i.e Mike Ashley) but hopefully with our owners they are here for the long run and have a long term vision to make the club profitable by making them a great established premier league club, so when the time comes to sell us be that in 3, 10 or 20 years we will be worth a lot more (i.e Roman Abramovich. With regards to ex players the only one I would take back is James Milner. He would fit into the team well and has the right attitude, he has just won the champions league and various trophies with city, he has winning mentality, and would be good to have around the squad, he could easily sit the deep CM role or even cover at full back. I wouldn’t step foot in Villa Park if delph was in a villa shirt again.
