Brumstopdogs Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Rumour has it Mings is "only" on 14k a week. When you compare what we're getting for that compared to Micah Richards non performances it is a joke! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 We have to get promoted so that we can keep Mings. Absolute Villa hero in the making. Total leader. Love him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you compare what we're getting for that compared to Micah Richards non performances it is a joke! It's been the way at Villa for quite some time now that generally, a first team player's wage is inversely proportional to his ability. I mean, go through our highest earners in the last 3 seasons and Terry aside, you're mostly looking at absolute wasters like Richards, Gabby and McCormack. Although I imagine in Mings' case that Bournemouth are picking up a fair bit of his wage. Edited April 28, 2019 by Mantis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry was good last season but could tell at times he was nearing the end Dunne was shite the majority of the time. Mings is our best centre half since Laursen imo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 I think we could have got him for 8m had we not signed kalinic in January. Now Bournemouth will want double that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings has been brilliant but would have been uproar among Villa fans to pay 8 million for a player with such a patchy fitness record 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t play much for Bournemouth and as a championship club we couldn’t really pay more. I can understand the reasons why though as zatman says but now we will have to pay a bigger fee to secure him.

Popular Post lapal_fan Posted April 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2019 I'm conflicted about him. On one hand, I really like boobies and vaginas. But on the other hand, Mings doesn't have those... but, he IS Mings... Why does life have to be so hard?! 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand the reasons why though as zatman says but now we will have to pay a bigger fee to secure him. The terms of the loan and any potential signing fee appear unknown but in any case, any club would have been mad to have paid millions on a player who, at the commencement of the loan, had such an inconsistent playing record. It is only with hindsight that we think Mings is worth a permanent signing. I’m sure Villa will have asked for the fee to be set back in January but that would have been in Bournemouth’s control.

LondonVillian Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Number 1 transfer target for me immense and a great influence in the dressing room I suspect 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
