Popular Post Tom13 Posted February 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2023 Great news. As his injury on Sunday shows, he's the type of player that many won't fully appreciate until he's gone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Happy to keep him around certainly. Backline has no leadership without him. Hopefully Diego can be available from start of April and we can see what that combination looks like in the run in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) This is great news. Excellent player but more than that a leader and great man. Quite the turn around from when Gerrard came out with the ridiculous statement of him needing to look him in the eye and show him he was ready to play.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 No details released on length and so on, wondering if this is an extension or just on improved terms for the same period as the old contract? When was his old contract set to expire? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Good news. Incredible how important a player he has been for us since the day he signed on loan. Been there through it all and continues to be a big part of the club on and off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was his old contract set to expire? He had a year left. I imagine it is at least till summer of 2025 possibly 2026. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was signed in January and there was interest in him moving - and we couldn't afford to lose him (like Hause last year when he managed a payrise), id maybe agree. But think this has to be an extension 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackHaakon Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Great news. True leader of the team and seems to be a decent human being. Not a perfect player but he wouldn't be with us if he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Good news. Ever since he first came to us on loan he seemed to have 'got' what Villa is all about. He is still a key player for us and long may that continue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2023 Just imagine he didnt sign an extension and was allowed to leave along with Martinez in the summer. Thats two massive leaders and cogs in this team, that could easily lead to us being one bad transfer window away from relegation. So lets all link arms, come together, embrace and sing together to this news 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted February 17, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Brilliant news. Hope he stays with us for 10 years. Closest we've come to a club legend since Mellberg. Edited February 17, 2023 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not be a regular starter soon once Unai brings in his own men but i'd rather have him on the bench than Chambers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Made In Aston Posted February 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2023 People talk about having to be long servants like Gabby to be considered Villa through and through. But for me, Mings is 'Mr Villa' and represents everything that we would want to see. Professionalism, leadership, ability, commitment, supporting the community and 'getting' what the club is all about. Really happy to see him get an contract extension. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
