A bit like having first refusal I guess. As for Mings himself. I can't help thinking he's going to be injured a lot. Hopefully its the reverse - we seem to sign players who are fit and then get injured - so maybe the thinking is if we sign an injured one he will get fit !!

So if Derby offer £5m for him in the summer, we get first dibs but we have to match their offer. I guess it's the same as an option to buy, but it allows the selling club to not set a fee at this stage. Id argue that there will be a set fee to start with that will be triggered at a certain date. Else what happens if no one bids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Else what happens if no one bids? Yeah I agree. I missed that bit. I edited my post to say I agreed with the post you made just before mine. Or maybe there isn't a set price and we can bid as usual in the summer. it just means if anyone comes over the top then we have the priority over them if we match their bid. I'm sure it's something along those lines anyway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 could be convenient signing moving into spring - we could be "Minging in the rain" !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limvillian Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Matt Kendrick claims Mimgs is coming in as a CB rather than a LB , to take over from the injured Chester. Going straight into Saturdays squad.So we'd go into Reading with Elphick and Mings as a partnership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 So Mings is a left back that can play centre back and Hause is a centre back that can play left back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or else we are happy enough with Taylor(please no). Reading between the lines in the article(sorry don't know how to post it on the phone) it's like Taylor's dip away from form since Smith's first few games is being put down to Chesters injury!!!!

Barii g the full backs Mings and Tuanzebe as CB's would be big, powerful and quick players in the heart of defense. Much needed! We've had oversized midgets in our team for too long.

I read a comment on a forum that said it was 3 years since he played LB That's probably not 100% accurate, but he is mainly a CB now. Bournemouth has used him as CB in his cameos this season when they switched to a 5 man defense, and once as a straight swap for Ake in a back 4. a 6ft 5, 80 kilos guy who's already had serious knee injury and a back injury will not have the body to keep bombing up the field as a LB. At least not if he want's to have a long career. Hope he is used as a CB here as well, not sure where that leaves Hause thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
