I prefer to think of it as for the price of Wan-Bissaka, who has had one year in the Premier League, we could have got 2 and a half Tyrone Mings’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted July 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2019 If he had gone to man u for £20m how would all feel about that ? I think he would do well there and cement a place in the England squad. It's as much his character as it is his physical ability , he's a winner and pushes those around him to give everything . My only fear is if we don't build a balanced squad that's capable of competing in the premier League then he may become frustrated and this may compromise his decision making. He needs a partner at the back who has ability and can stay fit. At the moment we don't have this player or a squad that can compete , we have some big holes to fill . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted July 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2019 People should also remember that we are amongst the few who have actually done business so far. Wait til the big boys get started. I doubt Mings transfer will be within the top 5 even for defenders this year. Maguire for £85 Million. Maguire. Eighty. Five. Freaking. Million. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Strange there is no sign of the official website announcing it. Big signing for the supporters they are well aware. Makes me think Sky Sports (understands) have jumped the gun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don’t mean from our perspective either, I agree it would have no bearing on what we would have paid, however Like I mentioned before, Bournemouth know how important that signing mings is to us and I wouldnt be surprised if fans behaving like some did added to that importance in their eyes. It’s hypothetical, but If we wasn’t interested after the loan spell and another club came in for him I truly believe that the price would be no where near what we paid.

MaVilla Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 1) Being in the championship and not signing Mings. 2) Being in the premiership and signing Mings for 20m rising to 26.5m with add ons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
