Which is probably why it’s never took off :P

Fair point. Though i must admit i much prefer original word play chants rather than the normal 'he's here, he's there' generic chants you hear at every ground.

Does he have a song at villa park yet?

Dunno if anyone in the UK would know this song (it was pretty big here in its day, but beware, it's maximum sappy), but this chorus was the first thing that sprang to mind:

Nice partnership with Mings, but you might want to talk to him about kicking  you in the head.

He shouldn't be surprised, Mings has form :trollface:

He’s tackling stats seemed odd when we signed him but it’s because he reads the game so brilliantly. He’s so calm in possession too. What a signing! 

Definitely a 'prevention is better than the cure' type of player. Mings will handle the clearances and tackles, he'll get the blocks and interceptions.

Cross-posting from the chants thread, since there's no chance of this actually being a chant, but I thought it was a decent karaoke song...

(to the tune of 'Angels' by R. Williams)
 
He sits and waits
Bjoooorn Engels contemplates the game
Subbuteo
The places you can go
When you're Grealish ohhhhh
'Cause Jack has been told
His penetration lets the wings unfold

So when I'm lying in my bed
Thor's running through my head
And I feel sorry for Jed
I'm loving Engels instead
 
And through it all he offers Mings protection
A tackle or an interception
Whether he's right or wrong

And on the second ball
Wherever it may take him
A kick to the face won't break him
If he wins the ball, he won't forsake him
He's loving Engels instead

Amazing signing from what I've seen so far.

I know Deano was looking at him when he was at Brentford, and he seems exactly the sort of player that they would pick up for a few million, and then sell to us for £20m. Nice to cut out the middle man for a change.

And just the £73,000,000 cheaper than Harry Maguire.

I think he's looked absolutely excellent - calm, assured, strong - if I have one criticism, it's that he should never have let Ferris borrow his dad's car.

It was a truly horrific moment for Engels that.  :D

My favorite centre back pairing since Mellberg - Laursen

That would have been an awesome partnership if a certain manager hadn’t played Mellberg at right back for most of the two seasons where Mellberg and Laursen weren’t prevented from playing together because of the latter’s injuries.
