There will be plenty of rotation I wonder if we have a preferred pairing for the league and a different one for European (at least group or easier) games… Maybe Mings & Torres in the league and Carlos & Konsa in the ECL… I’d be on board with that… we’d get a look at all of them and see who excels most… Same idea for league cup and FA cup games… a lot of teams do a similar sort of thing… they’ll all get plenty of game time… With that selection, we can be adaptable too. No need to be rigid or restricted… we can afford to rest whoever needs it and have much less concern in case of injury or suspension. One major factor regarding the team this season… we need to avoid burnout, a lot of our players (esp in midfield) have suffered from it in the past. With a quality squad, we don’t need to take those kind of risks. Fresh, energetic, motivated players… it will be a sight to behold! Opposition teams better watch out, we’re coming for all of you!!

HKP90 Posted June 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2023 Plus he knows Emery well. And Emery knows him. That's half the assimilation process sorted the minute he walks through the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB pairings are the cornerstone of success pretty much everywhere you look when it comes to great sides of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, but I know that he'll be closed down quickly and physically in the PL. He looks the beans though. I'm sure he'll adapt quickly. And luckily we won't be 100% reliant on him hitting the ground running. This is awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Unai rates him, Unai wanted him, Unai has won things with him. That should be more than enough for us and allay any doubts or fears. Trust in King Unai. We have an elite manager and an elite CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMelvillan Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Been thinking about mings with all this. The club has just signed a player for a near club record for your exact position. I hope they consult and communicate and explain it to him well cos I can't help but feel that, especially after last year, Ty needs a bit of a break from the constant challenges and set backs that he always seems to come up against I have no doubt he will rise to it and ultimately improve as a result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Birmingham World I have no idea how reliable Birmingham World are though, the article is made up of old quotes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree more of the rotation will be in the league games because fatigue will kick in as so many games.

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Getting this guy in early so he gets a full preseason working with his new teammates on shape, positioning etc will be key. He knows EmeryBall but building a rapport with team mates in that backline will make or break this transfer. We had a good relationships in our defence last year, so we don't want to create too much disruption. Get him in, settled and working well then he can really hit the ground running* * and then get injured in the second or third match of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) That’s around £27m if true, £27m -£31m (what Percy quoted) is a bargain price for Pau. Wow hats off to Monchi and Emery. Edited June 30, 2023 by Rustibrooks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unai won’t really be happy with a mid table or lower finish, I’m assuming we’re at least aiming for the proper Europa spots but wouldn’t be surprised if the intent is to compete for CL - however unrealistic/realistic that seems… Some group games in ECL will be against weaker/inferior opposition so we won’t have to play our strongest team either… I think we’re going to give a few of the big boys in PL a shock… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
