ozvillafan Posted August 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 30, 2019 At one stage Villa held the record for turning out the most players for England. Where do we stand now after the Mings and Heaton call-ups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do we stand now after the Mings and Heaton call-ups? I think it will make us about 3-4 short of Spurs. There is also a question of whether they are counted if they don’t see any minutes on the pitch. Edited August 30, 2019 by LondonLax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Love his reaction that he thought it was a prank. I’m going to phone him today and tell him he’s been picked for Scotland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke, I'm so happy that he's got the England recognition that his performances have merited with us. I said, when we were wondering about his fee, that he would prove to be a bargain and that he would become an England player. I just didn't think that it would happen quite so quickly, but Tyrone doesn't hang about does he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a great read retrospectively. @sharkyvilla at least his reputation as a “Head-Treader” hasn’t counted against him! I wonder how @BOF feels about him now? Already covered this quite recently. Asked this very question by Stevo. EDIT : Here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted August 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 30, 2019 Its typical that the week Tyrone gets a week off to rest up he gets called up to a level he will feel he will need to impress. Feckin Internationals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feckin Internationals! Kinda agree. I get that this is something big and successful clubs have to deal with and I can can sort of see the fun side competing to be the number one provider of players to the English national side, but from my experience internationals and England call-ups have never led to anything positive.

kurtsimonw Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Tyrone will be playing alongside some of the best players in World football. That will only help his game. For all the criticism the England NT gets, 2 top 4 finishes in the past 12 months is a bloody good achievement. Once he gets a taste of it, he'll want more. He won't take it for granted and he seems genuinely delighted to be called up for his country. Again, this will keep him performing in a Villa shirt. Worst case scenario, one of the big boys comes in for him, we make about £40m in profit. I have 100% confidence in Dean, Suso, NSWE and everyone else involved at the club to find a suitable replacement, and keep us going in the right direction. Nothing bad will come of this IMO.

kurtsimonw Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Also, I had a look at a Bournemouth message board - they seem really pleased for him, a lot of positive things to say about Mings. Always nice to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he doesn't get injured, then it's good he got called up as he could've got injured training with Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even consider the injury issue, which is the main argument from those not liking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 The issue for me would not be him picking up a new injury but rather that he is already carrying one from the previous game. Nice for him to get a call up thou, doubt he'll get to play thou unless they pick a b-side against Kosovo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always nice to see. Not all folk are malicious......thankfully there are some well intentioned folk around, that are so happy in their own skin, they have a capacity to be happy for others. Bournemouth seems the kind of club that doesn't attract in great numbers the cynics that we experience at big city clubs. I am pleased for them, that they are pleased for him.....also positivity, breeds its own success. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) My son seen Tyrone in a local piri piri chicken outlet in Wylde Green recently, sitting on his own a few folk spoke to him, but it led me to thinking that some of these footballers are more lonely, than the fans think. In a similar situation, many, many years ago.....I was in a group of lads that included Andy Gray, Bobby Mac and Jake Findlay......I was taken aback, when Andy's mom give me a hug and in an emotional exclamation said " I am really glad Andrew has met some genuine lads" intimating the loneliness it can sometimes bring,for players who come from far afield. I was quite shocked,at the time.... but having grown older, I now realise that it is sometimes hard for these players to meet genuine mates outside of the football club or other clubs. I really do hope the boys at Villa, Like Tyrone can meet some genuine lads of their own age in our crowd particularly and enjoy the friendship it brings. PS I guess that's why managers are always encouraging them to get married. Edited August 30, 2019 by TRO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s unlikely to play in these games so he will just be training. Which is what he would be doing with Villa in that time as well. So yes long term this could lead to a few extra games per season if he continues to improve but it won’t happen this month I don’t think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted August 30, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 30, 2019 Really does make the 20 odd million look like loose change when you consider what was paid for Maquire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
