Delphinho123 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 The more I read up about this guy, the more I think he’s coming in to play on the left in the centre back pairing. For some reason, I just can’t see him playing alongside Mings. Could it be our plan is to pair him with Tarkowski and then sell Hause and Konsa? Or could we sell Mings if the right offer comes in?

If he is playing on the left then i think mings will be sold. If we get a 30m+ offer i think we might sell. Im not sure how i feel about selling mings. On one hand he is so mistake ridden and makes alot of mistakes in one season that cost us goals. However when he is playing well he plays excellently. Also seems to be a bit of a leader on the pitch something we desperately need. Id only sell if a big bid comes in. If its Newcastle has to be over 40m for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted May 27, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2022 The games I have seen him play in he's always been on the left. To get a decent idea of this guy watch these game below, he never played against West Ham , not sure why. https://youtu.be/seqUOmYw0u4 https://youtu.be/n9dmPfLOi7I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Or we are going to play 5-3-2 or 5-3-1-1 next season with Carlos left of Mings and AN Other in a holding 3 with wing backs released to go down the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 The best bit about this transfer from other clubs perspective (aside from the salt from Newcastle fans) is that if Chelsea want Kounde, they will probably have to pay the full release clause now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not, Mings left and Carlos right for me. If you look up transfermarkt Carlos has played equally left or right CB, he is comfortable either side. Be madness to sell Mings (IMHO). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it'd be so stupid of us to sell Mings, hopefully he sticks around. Love the guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 To go up against Mings and Carlos you'd need to be of the ilk of Diego Costa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I have no idea what to think of this signing. Seems to be quite mixed opinions. Oh well, it's exciting at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its Newcastle has to be over 40m for me When you have two right footed CBs one of them has to play on the left. A right footed CB will prefer to play on right side of defence as that's naturally where suits them best. It's great that Carlos can play either side of defence as it means he can replace Hause position in our squad and we have 1 LCB, 2RCB and Carlos who can play either. It makes absolutely no sense to sell our Club Captain as he has been the best CB at the club for years now. Costa + Mings is the best partnership we can field. I thik what Carlos brings now is open competition for places including Mings. I see McGinn becoming club captain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to expect the CB who gets on the ball as much and makes as many passes as Diego to have more errors leading to shots than a CB who smashes the ball out of play and doesn't take responsibility to play the ball out of defence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too mistake laden to be a top centre- half. If we go to the next level, then we need next level centre- halves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me atm he's a squad player who has to fight to break into our team , he wouldn't be my starter for our first game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villaglint Posted May 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2022 This is being used to batter Carlos on twitter but to be honest I'm not sure I've ever seen a player this close to keeping up with Traore in a straight foot race. He looks seriously rapid to me. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post QldVilla Posted May 27, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2022 Amazing how some want to run down this signing, he was part of the best defence in La Liga this season in a team that qualified for Champions League football. Hes been part of a Europa cup winning team and an Olympic gold medal winning team. Potentially the best defender signing since Laursen. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picicata Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Whatever the opinions on the player, and I have few as I've never seen him play, I think every Villa fan should be happy that we're getting in our wanted targets and getting them in early. I may have doubts on Gerrard but I'd rather he be given every chance for success rather than be set up to fail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although had he done his homework he'd have known Adama was hitting the corner flag with his shot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
