Tyrone Mings Loan to buy once Bournemouth get Mepham has legs

Any more on this VC?

Its down to the player to decide now as far as ive heard. Both teams doing deals that have a future fee/perm activation. Baggies more likely for promo but playing time more secure with us........

The main memory I have of mings is his roughing up of Zlatan and trying to put him off his game at old Trafford .
He succeeded and ibrahimovic even missed his pen.

It was flair against brute force and was somewhat surprised Howe had mings getting overly physical with Ibra.

The big I am that is Zlatan didn't like it and was constantly engaged in a battle

Clever but not how I like my football

I was actually shouting for mings to get sent off as in my view his act of violence he  stamped on Ibrahimovic.

For footyskillz lovers like me I didn't appreciate that Ibra actually seemed scared in the end as mings stood up to him but in a dirty way.

Of course Zlatan has his own dirty history but that day mings clearly initiated the battle by winding him up and disgraceful stood on his head

Is that what Dean Smith wants ?
I know some enjoy seeing these types of players and maybe there is some small need in rough and tumble of EFL.

But generally I can't stand players who aren't looking to play the match in a fair way and usually it's to compensate for limited ability.

Frankly it's exactly what I want.  Many top strikers are bullies - Ibra is a perfect example.  If a defender is tough enough and smart enough to stand up to them without getting too many fouls or cards against them, then I'm all for it.

Yeah but be careful or you end-up with that anti-Villa thug Paul Robinson.

Where you seeing this?

It shows the short-termist, scattergun approach we've had so often. Start off with one idea then when it doesn't work immediately change to another. First we had Lambert's derided young & hungry approach, which nevertheless brought in Benteke plus Westwood, Lowton & Bennett, all now Premier League regulars. Then we had the Sherwood debacle, when the Sporting Director decided to bring in players despite rather than because of the manager. Veretout, Gueye, Amavi, Traore - all decent players but useless in the circumstances. And last season's loan signings were half-right, with Snodgrass, Johnstone and Grabban all potential buys last May.

If we'd employed joined-up thinking we could have a team of Johnstone, Lowton, Amavi, Ciaran Carke, Chester, Gueye, Veretout, Grealish, Traore, Snodgrass & Benteke, with Bennett, Westwood & Grabban either on the bench or sold to finance new signings and that's without buying anyone else.

It feels like it's been like that a while.

Players still playing, Barry, Milner, Delph, Young, Downing, Kyle Walker....

8 days to go I like to look back on some of these snippets ?!

An Arsenal supporting friend of mine told me today that he heard from a reliable source that Koscielny could be coming in Jan. Emery has told him he’s not wanted at Arsenal.

Can’t see it myself though

Good you had the foresight , your mates on the wind up  or Man's source is sour!
Maybe the player was meant Ozil ?
The creative type we need .

[footyskillz]

Nyland is fine for where we are now.

Ok.

[footyskillz]

I think midfield is the least of our problems. Defence, attack and goalkeeping is more of a worry. Someone mentioned Heaton at Burnley as a goalkeeping option and Forster at Southampton might be another one. They have both been out with fairly long term injuries however, which is why they lost their places.

Applause !

[footyskillz]

How about getting back some of our players out on loan now for starters.....Steer, De Laet, Clark, Elphick, Green?

This is the best !
Well played Eddie Munster good reading of the situation and foresight !

Great post !

sorry I meant in terms of choosing between us and the Tesco bags , didn't mean to give anyone a bum steer

Hot off the press:

My lads best mate was working at this big house and in walks Romaine Sawyers. Told him he was coming to Villa

Leave or Romain ?
Are they still best Mates ??

Was this building a Chinese restaurant and that's why it's a sawyer source?

[footyskillz]

I think Centre-back is going to be the problem position in January. Aberdeen are only 3 points of the top of the league, so they;re not going to let Mckenna leave cheaply, and Brentford will also want big money fro Moepham.

We've been linked with Ampadu on loan, which might make sense, although Smith has suggested that we're going to be looking more at permanent signings than loans, so I woudln't be surprised if we buy a left-back (Knudsen at Ipswich??) and just bring Elphick back from Hull, as cover.

Fair play Russel good reading of situation !

Will check out this left back on Saturday
