TRO Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 i don't know what the issue is, but you would hope a bit of morality exists here. We gave him the opportunity to turn his fortunes around and he has.....surely a bit of credit must go to us and surely that should find its way in to any sensible negotiation. Bournemouth can clearly see the player wants to come to us, They should find a reasonable way of that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a commodity we want, so they set the terms. Unfortunately that’s the world we live in now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we resist anymore loans unless we have a pre- set buy out clause...like Hause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this one occasion I’m not too fussed if we pay over the odds. He was fundamental to our success and to bringing us as fans together and behind the team last year. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not agree more.....there are always going to be exceptions to every rule.....I think the club should bite the bullet and get the deal done and learn afterwards. Hause and McGinn was exceptional deals, you can't nick 'em all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted June 17, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2019 We need to focus our attention on an alternative I'm afraid . Ming's will leave Bournemouth but we shouldn't be involved in an auction. He's a good player but he's not worth putting our rebuilding on hold for , we have to move on . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you a clue. It begins with "Twit" and ends in "ter" so now it's Gospel. No one knows why it's delayed or how much anyone is asking. He's more than likely just told his agent he's on holiday and will sort it out when he gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Being linked with Kongolo from Huddersfiekd now. Plays same side of defence as Mings. Whilst squad depth is important, I get the feeling this is Plan B if we cant reach an agreement for Mings. Or a sign to Bournemouth we do have options and they cant just dictate it and bugger us around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he’s told his agent to get it sorted out while he’s on holiday. I don’t think players have anymore involvement than taking their agents advise that it’s a good deal, (or not) and signing the contract, (or not).

pete101 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 As gutted as I would be , think this is a deal we could revisit in January if we can't get over the line this window , can't see Bournemouth and Ming's seeing eye to eye after this past month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how crazy the Wesley transfer was I'd be surprised if the best backup option for Tyrone Mings was Kongolo. I'd also be surprised as the rumour was started on here.

deeps Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Not going to lie, I expected this to be done now. If this isn’t done before the US trip I’d say there could be an issue. Hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Can't wait to see him signed but even if it goes to the wire at least he knows us so should fit in relatively easily. Just had a thought whilst typing, I wonder if he us waiting to see if JT will still be with us before committing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will likely be the transfer fee that is causing problems. Bournemouth know they have something we want so currently hold all the cards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
