One of the signings of the season. Also need to remember he was signed as a LEFT BACK at Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the same Eddie Howe who took Bournemouth (capacity 11,329) from league 1 to the premier league and has kept them there while we crashed and burned. The same Eddie Howe who has frequently been lionised on these pages and often proposed as Villa manager. Clearly a basket case.

Aside from that there can also be several mitigating factors affecting why a player isn't a fit at a particular club at a given time. Ourselves having lost many a "shite" player only for then to go on and have successful careers is one of those examples. Some of out best players have been "out of favour" at a club, hence why we got them in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t fergie let Pogba gonfor a free only to be bought back for near £100m? Was it Maurinho that let De Bruyne, Salah, and Lukaku go? I’d trust my own eyes over Eddie’s.

tonyh29 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 All week I’ve been nervous about today and was sure that Derby would win their first real attack and Mings just broke it down and played it off to Axel and I knew in that moment we would win today ... even if the last 15 mins were torture and I was sure they were going to nick an undeserved equaliser 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness I saw him play a few games for Ipswich the season before (think they had a decent cup run) and he played left back for them aswell. Had no clue he could even play CB when he joined us so he's been an unbelievable success for me. That no nonsense commanding leader we've missed since the Mellberg/Laursen days. You can tell he loves it here so I imagine he'll be having a good word with Bournemouth to let him come here full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) He's actually pretty good with the ball at his feet as well. Well-suited to the modern game where you can't really afford many hoof merchants anymore. Edited May 27, 2019 by Mantis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 sure we will shift heaven and earth to sign him. Bournemouth won't be keen to let go to a premier rival though. I do get the vibe he actually loves it here though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted May 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2019 Has to be priority no. 1. He's been absolutely excellent for us, has everything you'd want in a defender - quick, strong, huge, reads the game well (I loved his just calmly intercepting a pull back in the first half through getting his position bang on), great tackler. And he never, ever gets flustered. Even the backs to the wall just put your boot through it stuff, keeps his head. Go all out for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 From Smith himself “Also we’ve got a matching right with Mings.” https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mings-abraham-tuanzebe-el-ghazi-16339343 Then there’s a decision to made on Glenn Whelan, Tommy Elphick, Albert Adomah and Alan Hutton - players who are all out of contract next month. I would most likely let them all go on for one reason or another. It's been good times and bad times with them but they all played a part in where we are now. I wish them all good luck where ever they go or what ever they do if they move on from Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted May 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2019 Kept in touch with a Bournemouth mate this season and he didn't really ever check in on his progress, despite me ringing his praises. Mings got injured after signing there and with everything else going on (Bournemouth transitioning to premier class) I think he's been overlooked and possibly that is still the case. He could be the steal of all time because I am adamant he will cut it in the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
