Tyrone Mings

[levico]

Completely agree with everything said about TM. Superb defender, a joy to watch. Most assured I’ve seen in Villa shirt since Lauren/McGrath.

Makes me think though, what’s the catch? Why is he here and not on Bournemouth’s bench at the very least?

I'm guessing it's down to his previous injuries meaning he has not had much game time there, and sending him out on loan is a way for them to assess his potential.  This being the case, can I just say to Bournemouth that he is absolutely useless and by far the best thing they could do is cut their losses and let him leave ASAP.

[Lastfootstamper]

He needed games, simple as that I reckon. Injuries have limited his opportunities to play in his entire time with them, their jury would be out as to whether he'd have been worth risking their PL status by playing him. He's featured in 17 PL games for Bournemouth over 4 seasons, he's played 15 league games for us. We helped him, he's helped us. There's too many things can happen between now and August to influence where he'll be next season. It'd be nice to sign him, and fingers crossed that if we don't, it's only because we've got someone even better.

If ever there was a loan that's worked out for all concerned, this is it.

[Villa75]

I've read about a dozen pages so, to avoid my lazy ass having to read the other 40 odd and still not finding the answer, does anyone know the loan details?

First refusal? Get in the queue? Agreed fee?

I would imagine we've helped Bournemouth increase his fee significantly, as well as helping ourselves to the play offs, but I would love to have him stay with us.

[Drummond]

I'm pretty sure it was the opportunity to match any bid made.

I'm pretty sure it was the opportunity to match any bid made.

I remember reading that a while ago and thinking what a strange clause it is. How is it any different from a regular transfer situation? Surely the club always has the opportunity to match any bid made by another. It only benefits Bournemouth in the end if a club starts a bidding war for a player, it's no real added benefit to us? Is it that they can't refuse it from us if they accept a bid from elsewhere? Even then I don't really understand why you'd work that into a loan agreement. Odd one.

[Steve67]

Someone makes an offer, we have to match it, Tyrone chooses his destination.  No doubts he’s added several million to his tag. Fantastic defender.

[andyh]

Expect B’Mouth to declare he’s not for sale.

[Matt Collins]

If we go up I really think he'll want to come and that would count for a lot

A lot may depend on whether Nathan ake is still at Bournemouth too. They bought mepham for 12m or so. Is he getting in ahead of that pair?

[London Villan]

If we go up he’ll want to stay and we have the money.

So did anyone else see him in his car outside The Aston Tavern about 40 minutes before Kick Off.
As we walked up a Car was being mobbed by lots of Villa Fans.  We got up to it and it was Tyrone and there was a crowd singing his name and having selfies with him.
He was lapping it up and there was a a big queue building up behind him.

I was wondering where He was going as He was heading away from the ground and also wondered if He was on the Lap of Honour done by our players after the game ?

He was in Grealishs box with Abraham so expect so

Eddie Howe still likes playing the old guard, Steve Cook started for them yesterday, he's been their donkeys years.
