Aston_Villan4

I was just thinking the same thing. Had to look it up but Real Sociedad placed a £60 million release clause on him. BvB have a €30 million buy-back clause and Transfermarkt has his value sitting around $45 million. So we’d be breaking records again if we tried to sign him.

They're being bellends because of the idiotic decision they made when they signed him. A 50% sell-on clause for PSG is madness.

What's wrong with VVD?

It represents his effort throughout a game. Starts off high with tons of energy and then ends up falling over sideways from exhaustion.

Don’t tell that to all the pundits. Every player ratings article I’ve seen says the same thing: “Stone was the heart of the defense and commanded brilliantly.”

What he said^

Yeah, a heart attack and was pretty much dead for about a minute. Horrible.

Tyrone Mings has claimed England need to be more “streetwise” - but warned they cannot let the “dark arts” get out of hand. Mings admitted he would have been sent off had VAR been in use when TV pictures showed he gave Austria’s Sasa Kalajdzic a forearm smash during their warm-up friendly. But Mings does believe that England will have to be cute when playing other big nations during the Euros and get better at wind ups and time wasting. Aston Villa defender Mings said: “Being streetwise is a huge part of the game. You look at other nations and they are masters at the dark arts – staying on the floor for longer than needed, delaying restarts. Being streetwise is also sometimes what gets you over the edge because it winds up the opposition and breaks up their flow and their rhythm. “Listen, everything is going to have to come together for us to win the tournament. There are other things that will be important as well.” Mings was honest enough to admit on Kalajdzic that he could have been sent off had it been during a tournament because he would have been caught by VAR ”But Mings says his forearm smash was “too aggressive” but just a tactic he often uses to block off forwards during games but says football has gone soft. England defender Mings said: “I was not lucky, no, because I knew there wasn't VAR. “But it wasn't, wasn't it, so we can go back through many different occasions in my career and you could say if there was VAR in that game, I would have got sent off “I think there is definitely something to be said about... football is very soft these days, you cannot get away with much. And like you say, if there had have been VAR, absolutely I would have given away a penalty. “As a defender, I have done that many times in my career. When a cross is about to come in, block the striker. That is not against the rules. But that one there was probably too aggressive.”

This one?

...?

I can't wait for the stats doubters to have a go at this.. "But what IS a created chance? I don't know what that really means..."

Another one that Arsenal wanted but never completed. He’s got some real talent. He just didn’t get much play before a knee injury knocked him out for the end of last season. No real time to acclimate himself to the PL. look at Bertie, it took awhile for him to fully get into the swing of things. A full, healthy, summer with the squad under his belt will do him wonders.

My sentiments exactly. Feel like SkySports giving him a 4 is a bit harsh considering they gave Sancho a 6 who I thought was pretty mediocre and nonexistent for much of his appearance.

What?

I feel like today was an indication that Mount would get the start ahead of Grealish. Otherwise it could be Southgate just giving Grealish as much game time as possible to get back to 100% but I don't feel like Southgate is smart enough for a decision like that.

I think he's 3rd option behind JWP and Lingard. Southgate could always surprise us and pick Ollie but I highly doubt it.

The players that didn't make the cut stay with the team through the friendlies. They don't leave until the Euros start. White, Godfrey, Lingard and JWP (although one of the latter two will probably get picked to take TAAs place) aren't going either and they all played today.

Looks to be a fake account.

If y’all want a good laugh. https://www.justarsenal.com/arsenal-appear-to-have-missed-out-on-buendia-signing/284074 My favorite bit: “The only acceptable reason to choose Villa would be that we couldn’t guarantee him first-team football in our star-studded squad, but the chance to play alongside our players should have been the icing on the cake…”

He nearly had 20+ goals this season. So many shots that should’ve gone in but either being unlucky or just a little inaccurate cost him.

I don’t think he’s wrong with what he’s saying in the post that I replied to. I agreed with him. I just don't agree that people aren’t allowed to be critical of Mings.
