DCJonah Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 11 minutes ago, A'Villan said: It's something called respect. More frequently forgotten in place of in the pursuit of money it would seem. I'm not under any false illusion they owe us any favors. But as I outlined previously, the practicalities behind Mings' situation should have the most significant influence on his price tag, and therefore lower it. I said earlier in the thread Bournemouth had the leverage on us in this deal, so I think I'm aware of the reasoning for the fee being as it is. It's entirely up to Bournemouth what they choose to do with a player under contract, however I'm sure Mings' would appreciate reciprocal professionalism from Bournemouth. Let him progress his career. Agree a fee that's in the interest of both clubs. They have agreed a fee. Both clubs. And he is progressing his career. YOU deem it disrespectful because YOU deem the fee too high. That's ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre thinking going on right there. I'm pretty sure FFP is still an issue for premier league teams ? So over paying 25% for players will be an issue for Aston Villa football club. Same arguments happened on relegation and spent 50 or 60 million, then all of a sudden it's an issue after people wanted us to just chuck money at every target. We need 6 or 7 more players for the 1st team squad at least, not sure aston villa football club ( didn't want to suggest I owned the club be saying 'we' ) can afford to over pay 25% on another 6 or 7 players without it effecting things. Who said we are going to overpay for every signing? Did we overpay for El Ghazi or McGinn? What about Jota or Hause? The truth is some parts of any build will cost more than others for many reasons. If Mings manages to get in the England Team in the next couple of years. Which I think most think possible if he plays the way he can, then that 20-25m will at least double. You going to be moaning then? Let the powers to be worry about the budget as they know more than you. We are not throwing money at journeymen with no resale value either. Just enjoy the journey captain cheerful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Just to reiterate, I think he could be worth more than what we've paid in a year or two, easily. But that's not the point here. You don't pay the premium for potential, you pay it for established players and longevity. Coutinho went to Liverpool for 8million (apparently it was nearly us), he was a bright spark with potential from Inter at the time. You do the math as for how much he was sold for to Barcelona as an established player with plenty of legs left in him. Mings has only ever impressed in the championship, never played in his seasons in the top flight. That's unfulfilled promise, whether you believe in him or not. Surplus to requirements there, wants to leave, significant injury to recover from, suitable buyer.. And you hold them to a premium? Ah well, I'll shutup because I'm actually very happy he's going to play for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I'm glad finally we can have our Mings, 20 mill is a reasonable fee I think as he's a very capable player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Just now, useless said: I wish people didn't care so much about money. Yeah, it's a year since we almost went into administration and more than a month since we played a game worth £170m that if we lost it had forced us to sell not just the stadium but most of our playing assets as well. Silly to worry about money. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mic09 Posted July 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2019 Question for the people unhappy about paying £20mil for him: Once we buy him, how much would you value him at? If a bid came in for him next week at £12mil, would you be happy to sell him because you think that's his value? Or is he all of a sudden going to be worth more because he plays for Aston Villa? I think you'd hold out for £30/35mil. But it's the same player, nothing would have changed. We are paying a market value. It's as simple as that. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a newly promoted club that almost went bust not that long ago. Manure and City have been making PL money for years while we've been hemorrhaging money to the point that we needed the new owners to buy our stadium from ourselves.

He's a CB who's showed promise in the championship with consistency. Mings is not proven in the Premier League yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats all hypothetical If he gets injured pre season and won't be available until christmas - how much would he be worth then ?
