Average = mid table If we finish mid table, I would have thought Mings would be performing well...not average? Not quite that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings was a beast in the Championship and it he can do the same in the top flight he will be a massive player for us. But we all know the jury is out like it is with most of the team. We don’t need Tony ******** Cascorino to tell us anything. A punditry banned list sounds good. Cascarino, Saunders is a good start 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite that simple. It depends what you mean by "well". Being an average Premier League defender is doing well considering the sheer volume of defenders who aren't that. Hyperbole and football go together like chicken and rice too. Take Wolves for example, the accepted understanding is that they had a brilliant season. They didn't really, finishing 7th in the Premier League isn't "brilliant", it's good, but brilliant requires a little bit more. It was however brilliant considering where they came from. Being an average Premier League team full of average Premier League players would mean we are doing well, relative to our previous position.

You see what these dinosaur words removed haven't realised is the market has changed. The type of shithouses who constantly refer to the good old days, call it the "coca cola" cup and think the FA cup is a trophy to give two shits about.

He fits in so well in the dressing room and lifts everyone's spirits. The difficult season that we could be rationally expected to have will need his character (without even mentioning his footballing ability). 20m when Maguire is "worth" more than 80m ...bargain. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 It's nice to hear that Mings is being worked hard and is finding Wesley a challenge in training. Wesley is sounding more like the real deal the more that comes out but training with Mings is excellent for the both of them. Mings can learn what's to come and hopefully be ready for the big chance he's been waiting for. I'm nervous about it all but at the same time so excited to see what's about to unfold before pur eyes.
