He has been plagued with these injuries during his time at Bournemouth Would you not risk the purchase given how he performed for us since January? Would we have ever purchased God, if we had the same concerns? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

He has been plagued with these injuries during his time at Bournemouth It was two very specific injuries. Ligaments and a fracture. The ligaments are the only one that concern me, but he is 4(?) years removed now so the chance of a relapse has reduced significantly. It's the first 2 years that are the danger zone. Mind you, he didn't play much during them due to the back! If he passes the medical, which he obviously will, we're in the hands of fate. These kind of injuries are a risk with every footballer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Either that or we are all so desperate for him to join permanently that we are reading every minute detail into everything. What, you mean you haven’t zoomed in on the photo of the train ticket to see if it’s one way or a return ticket?! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Keener window-cleaner 1,737 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Perhaps the best passer I've seen us have at CB, immense in the air, fast and spots danger. Passionate and calm at the same time. He has bailed us out at many occations, like that sprint and tackle before Derby's goal. The only slight worry is his injury history, but £12M for him, have Bournemouth gone mad? Could be worth four times as much in a years time. Link to post Share on other sites
Keener window-cleaner 1,737 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 I dare to say it, McGrath - Southgate - Laursen - - - Mings is a legend in the making. Just get him signed! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
jacketspuds 4,106 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 I'm surprised that a team like Arsenal haven't moved for him considering how little money they supposedly have. Anyway, fingers crossed this gets announced soon. Quality signing. Link to post Share on other sites

Throw in Hause (rumoured to be £2m), El Ghazi (rumoured to be between £6/8m), and Jota (rumoured to be a couple of million plus Gardner), and it would seem our transfer business is a lot shrewder than it has been for quite some considerable time. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

alreadyexists 7,432 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) In a world where even Bournemouth are spending £80+ in summer transfers, £12m for Mings is good value. Edited June 1, 2019 by alreadyexists Link to post Share on other sites
Demitri_C 12,344 Posted June 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 12m is a absolute bargain Link to post Share on other sites
Pez1974 616 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 I've said before that £12m feels about right. We saw him for 4 months and reckon he's a world beater. Everyone else will see a guy who did great in the Championship for about 18 games having barely played in the previous 3 years. Yes, he could be the second coming but he could break down again, or not make the step up. People think £12m is nothing but a 4 or 5 year deal, all in, could be £30m+. If you're buying Mings then your not Man City so relegation is likely to be a permanent risk. Also, other clubs will have seen his time with us and seen how he bonded - a lot of PL pundits were saying this in the lead up to Monday, such as "you can't imagine him playing anywhere else" (BBC 5Live) - they might not even bother trying to get him so certain is it that he's coming here. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Chindie 10,958 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 £12m would be great value. Hopefully taking advantage of the fact that Bournemouth just don't fancy him for whatever reason (and the feeling would seem to be mutual) to get a nice deal. Link to post Share on other sites

Agree. I made similar sentiments the other day, all the stars seem to have aligned for Mings to be a VIlla player, his obvious love for the club would put off other clubs, and Bournemouth have no reason to be unreasonable, 6 months ago they probably would have bitten someone's hand off if offered similar money, it's a good deal for all concerned. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
