VillaChris Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 1 hour ago, useless said: Nathan Jones already calling him 'Janny B' at press conference today, sounds like he's going to play a big part in second half of the season for them. It makes sense. In three of the last four games for them they've conceded from set pieces v us, at Everton and also from a late corner against Fulham. Bednarek may be limited but that's his big strength so him and Salisu gives them a stronger feel than what they presently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Keane honourable mention Feel like Tammy was more instrumental in getting us promoted than Mings was. Both key, but I'd go Tammy out of those two. I'd put Pepe Reina up there to be honest. He kept us in the league and potentially avoided us being set back another few years at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the ones from the promotion season worked out. Tammy, Mings, Tuanzebe. Reina played a role in keeping us up. Keane's short loan spell was pivotal. Ilori is so obvious I feel guilty bringing him up. Edited January 24, 2023 by Hornso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We juat got smashed 3-0 at Wigan and were going nowhere when Mings signed and were qbout 12th. Its probably the most inspiring signing in last 10/20 years for us his impact 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy to argue that without either we were going nowhere, hence why I said they were both key. Maybe on the basis we signed Mings after suggests his loan was more successful. Both great loans. Janny B... not so much Edited January 24, 2023 by MrBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings changed everything in our mentality when he came in. The convo came from Bednarek being a largely pointless loan (ultimately), and extending to what our best loan ever had been. Your point was already made and it is a valid one. Given we've not had a goal scorer like Tammy for the 40 years prior or the years since I felt he had the edge. Can see the argument for Mings though, and given we then signed him after then maybe it was the better loan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I know full well El Ghazi and Mings were loans… and in retrospect you’re right… I completely forgot they were loans simply because they signed permanently the summer we got promoted… But yeah… all of those (aside from Robbie Keane IMO) were better loans than Carbone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
