brummybloke Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 8 million and played probably less in 3 years for them than he has for us. And we are paying a reported 20 million ? We've been bum raped if it is not 12 to 14 at most with possible 6 more if he plays 100 games. He was replaced in Jan and thrown out on loan as surplus as always broken. Love the guy, hes found his true spiritual home but sweet baby jesus that's a stupid amount. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't paying for what he's done for bournemouth, we are paying that amount because he was immense for us, fits the system and is a massive boost for morale. Would you rather not have signed him? 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say the latter. 2 serious injuries, but other than that he’s not had niggly little injuries you’d associate with ‘injury prone’ players. It’s his time to shine in the Prem with us now. The move to cb will help with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather have signed him as already stated 12 to 14 with 6 in add ons. People say 5 or 6 is nothing ? Eh ghazi less than 6 million Hause less than 4 million Jota less than 3 million Mings was always ours after the support he got after the head tread episode in his 2nd game for us. He had faith shown to him by the manager and the fans. 3 1/2 rough years, hes matured and a great player for us but the facts are he cost 8 million and didn't play more than a handful of game in those 3 1/2 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Excellent signing. A lesson in that we should have written something tighter in the loan as we have overpaid. However we had to get him after last season and he is already a massive player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are deductions coming out of your wages at work to cover this. ? I never get fans getting their knickers in a twist over transfer fees. These sums of money in football are other worldly. The likes of us don't live in this world. He's a great player. Done great for us. Im delighted. Fee ? Don't care. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramshackler Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Personally I believe had Ming's shown a bit more class in the aftermath of the season then Bournemouth may have let him go for 12-14. As great as it was rocking up at Bournemouth station in full villa kit, I cringed as if the situation was reversed we would have been livid (as Bournemouth fans rightly were) and probably reinforced their desire to play hard ball with the player himself.

Keyblade Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Did NSWE create multiple accounts on here or something? 15m/20m/50m/...why would you even care? In the grand scheme of things, we've paid 30m for Mings, El Ghazi, Hause and Jota, so getting hung up on individual fees seems kind of short sighted. Besides, I don't even think 20m is too much for Mings. Aren't too many CBs in the PL that we can get for 20m that are as good as Tyrone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we sign players for 20 million i also say "we " but it isn't my money, nor yours . If i was down a day at work that payroll ballsed up id be more pissed off than that rather than the millions my football club decide to spend on a player.

Jas10 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Just glad we’ve got him, rarely is a player such a perfect “fit” for a club. Feeling a lot better about the season now, can’t wait for more signings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXD Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Happy we signed him but I hope the fee is a lot lower than reported. Some here saying that is what you pay for a PL defender, he isn’t one just yet. He did great for us in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
