maqroll Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Will be interesting to see if Tyrone suppresses his ego appropriately with no nonsense task master not-your-friend Gerrard as boss. Buendia as well. Both players have shown flashes of petulance recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...Man U let Paul McGrath go and we picked him up when he was 29. Apparently they thought he wasn't the future. Oooops. A centre back with a good sense of positioning can last a lot longer than, say, a winger whose main asset is pace and who loses it with age.

Ego is the wrong word - the guy seems like a really good bloke. It's the on pitch flamboyency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullshit and a poor accusation. I would never say Konsa is flamboyant.

The ironic thing is I actually think that bringing up racism when it’s completely unfounded and nobody thought it for a second is racist in itself! Anyway back on topic, I have a feeling Mings will be solid for us from now on. Edited November 19, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt mean he'll have to be a prick to anybody. This way, the relationship starts with a certain tone, no false sentiment pretenses. They will know what is expected, and know why they are either in or out the team etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate their are white players which similar accusations are laid against. So either way, it's a REACH. We look for what we want. I used to say similar things about the Golden Boy, previously known as Mr. Aston Villa. Unless I'm reverse racisming, which I'll then be told doesn't exist.

Said it a million times, Ming's has all the attributes to be a World Class CB. It's his focus which lets him down at times! Which is probably why he started his career as a LB. His injuries and raw physical attributes eventually brought him to CB. Thankfully your mental skills usually continue to increase throughout your career. So we could actually still him see him improve on his positioning and focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
