MINGS TRAVELLING TO VILLA

Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings is on his way to the Midlands this morning to undergo a medical at Aston Villa, Sky Sports News understands. 

The two clubs are close to agreement on a loan deal with an option for Villa to buy him in the summer. 

A number of Championship clubs - including West Bromwich Albion and Derby - were interested in the playe

 

Hopefully first of a few today

Heard it on the radio this morning and now seen on the Sky Sports app.  It looks like this deal is happening.  Lets hope history doesn't repeat itself with our luck and injuries!  Fingers crossed.

Good deal on a loan, think he’ll surprise a lot of people with how good he is; Quick, strong, good on the ball also has that aggression factor our team is missing largely imo.

Lets just hope we have an option to buy though if it does work out so we aren’t paying £1M for the priviledge of getting another teams player up to speed...

I hope that 1m isbollocks personally its a crazy amount for a player who has hardly played for 6 months. I would prefer a loan deal for 18montha for that price

If it's an option to buy in the summer maybe the 1m loan price (reported) comes off the purchase. e.g. we don't buy him they get a mil, covers them. If we do buy him for say 5m, we pay 4 due to the 1m loan fee?

Even given his injury record I’d say 5m is awfully cheap in this market 😬

Never knowingly seen this guy in action so this is a question born purely out of lack of knowledge:

On what basis are people saying he is good?

He’s only played a handful of matches over the past 4 seasons and in the 5 games he played for Bournemouth in December, their defence conceded 14 goals. Seems unlikely that he can have shown up very well in that phase?

I like the way he roughed up Rooney and Zlatan once. We need more aggression in the team. 

But you’re right though. Many probably haven’t really seen him play that much.

Quick look at those December games and it looks like it was mostly appearances around the 80+ minute mark so scorelines aren’t really a factor.

Id say I’ve seen him around a handful of times watching games live for both clubs combined, not enough to compile a scout report for sure but enough to form an opinion.
