He was immense today.
He's very good. His diving header to block a through ball at the end summed his commitment up.
If we manage to get promoted I think there's a good chance he'll stay. If not, I think there will be plenty of suitors in the PL who will fancy him. We've done Bournemouth a massive favour putting him in the shop window for them.

If we carry on playing as we are but either don't quite make the playoffs or we don't get through them I think plenty of players in the squad will think there's a very good chance we'll be promoted next year. Given how much Mings (and a few others) seem to enjoy playing for us I wouldn't be surprised if we keep most of them (Tammy is the really unlikely one) on the basis that we're aiming for the title next season, if the other offers aren't in the top half of the premier league they might decide that a season of winning games in a promotion push is better than a relegation battle.

He looks like a £10m + player to me.
He genuinely seems to love it here. No disrespect to Bournemouth or Ipswich at all, but I doubt's he's ever played in a game with an atmosphere like yesterday in his career before. He's come in, and is now our main defender in a club getting 35,000 fans every week.
