MaVilla Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) According to John Percy we are in discussions over a transfer for Mings that may be worth up to 15m. Bargain sign him up. Edited May 29, 2019 by MaVilla 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching the purslow/Smith interview I'd be amazed if they haven't got a plan of action already worked out. I'd guess they already know what they are willing to pay, fee and wages, may have already spoken to mings and are just waiting to press the button on the offer - now we're up it can be done. I think we have a new, sensible, well thought out way of doing our recruitment now, which we've been missing for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 15m sounds about fair while also lowkey being a bargain. We signed McCormack for pretty much that much ffs. We have to get it done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 One thing I think Bournemouth fans are forgetting when they say they should screw us for more money now Tyrone's made it clear he wants to come... IMO Purslow won't pay over the odds. He'll be happy to run this one down to the wire if necessary. Not his style to get pressured into anything. I'm pretty sure we'll get a fair price of ~15m with any extra value tied up in add-ons. I also don't buy into this idea of a bidding war. Mings has proved himself to us, and the Championship teams he's faced. I doubt he's top of anyone's shopping list in the Premier League. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrusr Posted May 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 29, 2019 Was thinking, we don’t really know what the matching clause is. Could it be that we have got the matching clause the wrong way round? Perhaps the fee was already agreed but other clubs could match that offer and we don’t have that exclusivity as with El Ghazi and Hause? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah would just be a matching agreement, probably taking in to account fees we already paid. ie: Team A - bid 15m Villa - paid 2m already for the loan etc, so to match we would only need to offer 13m. (13m + 2m = 15m - matched) (or something). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Usually deals that are worth "up to" X amount are often significantly lower in practice. In any case, £15m is worth it in today's market. I mean, didn't we sign Curtis Davies for something like £9m back when £9m was like £25m today? Edited May 29, 2019 by Mantis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) I don't remember the last time John Percy was wrong about anything. Mings has clearly been bigging up a move himself all over social media the last couple of days, a couple of people who I know have connections at the Villa are saying that it's already almost there, he is getting into spats with Bournemouth fans AOTS for wearing his full kit on the train home(!). I'll be astonished if we don't get this done. We want it, the player wants it, the captain (pissed admittedly) wants it, as long as the fee is in the reasonable camp, which I'm confident it will be, it will happen sooner rather than later. We won't want to be caught with our pants down, but nor will we want to be faffing about over a few quid for half the summer. £13-15m seems spot on to me.

Yeah i get the impression that he may have already said to howe that he really doesnt want to go back to Bournemouth. Obviously i have no idea, but he really seems to love it at Villa as much as we love him, mist be hard to go back to Bournemouth when he was so loved and revered here, and he appeared to make it clear that he also loves the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Up to 15m would mean 12m with a bunch of add-ons - avoiding relegation, etc. I'd assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you’ve said is what we all have assumed but doesn’t mean it’s right. Even when looking at contracts generally I cannot find anything that confirms what a matching clause is, and that no one ever defines what it is. Can anyone help with that?

If you think you’ve finally had enough Mike, just tell Jack that it’s been fun but you’ve gotta head home as Mrs M will be wondering where you are. I’m sure he won’t be offended. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New_Hope Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The other thing is, Mings was a massive factor in our turn around and is obviously privy to what our ambitions are and has bought into it. No disrespect to Bournemouth but to stay up every season is like winning the champions league for them where as a club like us should be challenging top 6 and that is not being big headed it is factual when you think how long we where in that league for. It was only down to a spoilt rich kid's poor business acumen that we fell from grace so quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he really wanted the move he’d be wearing full kit until August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
