No as I don't see how publishing it as a loan first and then announcing it as a permanent transfer in the summer would impact FFP at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Looks like a good signing so far. Chester will have to work hard to get back in the team now! I think I'd stick with Elphick even with a fit Chester. I guess Mings and Elphick must be good mates even from the Bournemouth days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a done deal, but the "matching" stuff just gives Bournemouth a loophole to back out of it if someone comes in in the summer and puts in a big bid. if that doesn't happen I imagine he'll be a villa player in July 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Publishing" portion was obviously more meant as PR or for "Gentleman's agreement" purposes between the clubs is what I meant. Making it officially a permanent in the summer I assume would help FFP as it would not affect current set of accounts I assume but I know nothing about finance etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Like the look of Mings. Given that we are apparently now dire at attacking him and Kalinic are much needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 He was solid 90% of the night, he seemed to be there almost all of the time, ended more defenders lime him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 played well with Elphick though made a weak attempt for the goal pity he didnt keep his stamp for Maupay that guy is a little rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 He’s an excellent centre back, he’s tough and he can play too, dominant in the air, great find by Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Only one of two players who showed heart, passion, FIRE, certainly fire, he's a rough dawg on that pitch for me that is what we need because our lot are like the care bears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Really like this guy And it helps he’s a nasty bastard too. Id have him and Axel as the first choice pairing when axel is ready 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id have him and Axel as the first choice pairing when axel is ready Yes he's deffo a nasty bastard, when I watched him tussle with the brentford lad he wasn't scared to show them who's boss on the pitch. He seems to know the fine lines because again he got away with a few things where I thought officials may have a word. They caught on to hourihane trip up and referee had a word. It makes me think are the officials scared to approach certain players, if so I'll have another bunch of Mings and a flash Gordon, though think that is our very own John Mcginn lol..

abdulaziz1 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I’d try him and Chester or Axel, with Mings as LB. Actually might begin all of them, with Axel and Mings as FB. Might work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 It’s scary that behind McGinn, Grealish and Tammy, Mings has probably been the best of rest.. he’s only been here a few weeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 with things not currently working, and the full back situation what it is I'd be tempted to try a back 3. We'd still have the wide issue, but can't really get much worse now can it. and it's not like we have anything to lose anymore. Season is over anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
