We're definitely playing with a back 6, 2 wingers, Jack and Wesley.

Doesn't sound like the attacking football that Dean Smith plays, but hey ho

Maybe, but still can see us keeping him, got 1 Yr left on contract I believe, good cover imo, but let's see who else we buy first....

I wouldn’t completely write him off, if we have an injury crisis, he could be in a with a shout

Oh no I feel another review coming on......

 Not yet, but when the finished article he will be worth a lot more than 20m, just hope we have a large sell on clause, we usually do!

Have you heard anything concrete from your itks? 

On ssn about konsa, 12m release clause or something 

I believe in those above, its not the shower of shite of yesteryear, it seems that everybody in a position of power knows what we need, and are doing there upmost to achieve it, it's not Steve Bruce and Co anymore, we'll be fine.

He has a lot of fight and desire in him to be fair which sometimes can make up for any weakness. He was unbelievable in the second leg against us.

I'll take my wb mates views they've seen him more than me

Hergazi and Mings would be a heavy weight central partnership! 

Not that taken on hergazi, couple of mates who boggies St holders said his position awareness is a bit suspect and clumsy

Never posted on that, we are a dual supporting couple, because for my sins my wife is a long time Villa supporter being born in the area, I only post on here out of interest and to keep her up to date.

 

Think you've got a weakness for us now though......

Darren bent has been a bit critical of him saying we shouldn't rely on mings as he wasn't all that great pl for Bournemouth 

Well Darren bent definitely wasn't worth the 18m we paid for him, so he can crawl back under his rock

Buy the Blues as a feeder

They ain't worth that much

I also wouldn’t be shocked if a decade from now we look back on Mings as a club legend. I don’t think you can put a price on that.

Second that,.

How any Villa fan, after watching us go kamikaze Centre Back - wise into last season, (;which nearly meant NONE of this happening !) can NOT be thoroughly delighted we’ve got this sorted is utterly beyond me.

Great words softly spoken, well done

I don’t know if I’d say I’m hung up on the fee, but I do think £20m is pricey for him (if that is actually the fee). I’d have preferred £15m rising to £20m with add-ons.

In the grand scheme, a £5m difference is nothing nowadays, but I just feel that £15m was his worth - considering all his pros (we love him, he seemed solid in the Championship, he ‘gets’ Villa) and cons (little Prem experience, potential injury concerns), and I’d have been happy for us to throw an extra £5m their way if he makes so many appearances/ clean sheets/ England caps etc.

Ah well. Get him in! Future Villa legend when he wins us a cup

I'd have liked 1m with add ons but it ain't my money so I don't care, great to have him back,. 

Not believing a damn thing anymore till I see the new signings cringe interview on you tube, but my mate who's itk.......

Oh man I hope you're wrong. Obviously, you're right about other clubs smelling the panic as they will know what our squad situation is and be aware of our desperation to fill the holes within the squad. 

I'm hoping that our trust in Purslow, Suso and Smith isn't wasted and they are well in control of what's going on behind the scenes. 

Other clubs smelling the panic? Birmingham mail click bait in 5 mins 

If Brentford could keep the team together they currently have they could challenge next year, imo
