We once had similar reservations about signing an injury prone CB from Man Utd 30 years ago.

Didn't realise he's only 26. £25m is acceptable i'd say. Sign him up.

As good as he has been for us, £25m is a massive risk for a player with his injury record who is unproven at Premier League level, and would probably be a hefty chunk of our transfer budget, especially as we probably need to buy 7 or 8 players.

I would offer him my firstborn* and hope against hope that he wouldn't reject that child for being too ugly.

*I don't actually have a firstborn.

I think some people on here need to take a reality check. The Premier League has moved on somewhat over the last 3 years. £20m is nothing for a top class defender. John Stones from Everton to Man Citeh for £50m I think? Virgil Van Dijk at £75m? The TV revenue has pushed up transfer fees and wages massively. Is Van Dijk 3 times better than Tyrone?

Tyrone did for us what Van Dijk did for Liverpool that’s for sure

I think he's been absolutely tremendous: he has McGrath's timing and reading of the game, he's a leader on the field and he's intelligent and articulate; a future Villa captain if Jack eventually goes  As far as injuries are concerned, let's hope that he's got over them. McGrath was unique and it's hard to imagine Mings or anyone else carrying so many injuries and still performing brilliantly. Ron Vlaar, for example, didn't.

Obviously I don't want him to and I don't think he will in the short term. But perhaps, eventually, the Champions League will prove irresistible for him.

You're not really explaining why he'll need to leave...

a team playing Champions league football might be tempting that would be a decent reason whether we like to think of it or not

I don’t think so at the moment. Jack surely must be selected soon for international duty. As for mings being proven in premier league. Let’s give him that chance!

Loaning Mings is going to blow up in Bournemouth’s face.

Without this transfer, I have no doubt we’d still be in the Championship.

Cheers Bournemouth. Big mistake.

Fee rumoured to be £15m. I'd imagine even that will have a few clauses in. Bournemouth can't complain, they paid £8m and hardly played him.

He knows exactly what he’s doing, arriving back at Bournemouth in his villa kit is a bit provocative. He’s engineering a move to a bigger club...the one he loves.
