Tyrone Mings

[kieron]

Relief.

[Clampy]

If the figure being quoted is true, then it's a little  too much in my opinion but he was very good for us last season and it may well end up being a bargain. Welcome back Tyrone.

The price quoted in the media is rarely the price paid, though.

I know a guy who was at a Wolves function a few years back. He was telling me that he got talking to Jez (owner?), can't think of his name. Wolves had just bought a player and the media quoted £7m. This Jez said the actual price was £3.5m, and this was the norm, as in the media inflating the price.
So it wouldn't surprise me if Mings' actual cost was in the region of £15m -£17m

Welcome home. Now go and earn yourself a few England caps ...

Chuffed he's signed. He's worth £20m any day of the week.

[The Edge]

 

Don't worry about the cost. Most on here just have jobs, Plumbers sparkys white collar civil servants etc. The owners are mega rich, the coaching staff seem to know what they are doing.

So who do I trust, us fans or the guys running the club.  For the first time in a very long time I can say I trust the  guys running the club. If they say he's worth £20m, that's fine by me.

Absolutely this.

[The Edge]

Done.

Excellent.

What?

[cdbearsfan]

He said "Excellent".

There are people grumbling about the fee? Really? This bloke has a rare quality that Villa have missed since Laursen got injured. A kind of a will to win and an enjoyment in winning that gets the crowd on its feet. McGinn has it as well, and Grealish can't help but have it as a Villa fan. I think we can move mountains with three such players. Mings is worth whatever the very top defenders are going for, in my opinion.

[postal]

Is it a flat 20M or are there add-ons?

[mr underhill]

I don't suppose anyone really  knows outside the two clubs - will it be published in the accounts? Anyway, after that picture at Bournemouth station, I suppose there was only one destination for Mings.

The accounts will show the total fee spent for all players, and then the total for all potential add ons.  So given the number of players signed, it'll be difficult to deduce a single player's costs.

[Dazvillain]

No announcement yet at 9;51, pathetic....Deano out😜

[Clark W Griswold]

If he plays like he did at the back end of last season for 5/6 years it'll look like a bargain.

[ironmaidenmania]

According to sky £20m upfront which could rise to £25 with add ons. Happy with that.

[KevinGage]

Its really one of those isn't it.  If we get a full season, he performs to the levels we saw last year and carries on being the talisman we had then its a steal.  If he goes down with a blown up knee after 5 games not to be seen again everyone will be laughing at us saying we've been had.  I seem to recall an ageing Irishman being too injury prone to be taking a chance on and he barely missed a game in the next 3 years.

His pre-loan value is irrelevant as he performed way above his valuation - unless of course you're a shite judge of a footballer.

Aye, but what stands out about signing that ageing Irishman is that those sort of deals don't usually work. We signed McGrath for about the same money we signed Adrian Heath that summer anyway.

This deal wouldn't really come into the bargain category. Yet.
