We've had a new guy start at work last week and I was chatting with him yesterday, he's not really a fan of anyone, just likes football in general (or as I suggested he's a Northampton fan but likes watching top-flight football, which he agreed with) and he was asking all about Mings. He said he's only seen him in the play off final and against Spurs but that he couldn't believe that no one else tried to sign him for what looks like a bargain price. I think he's the first non-villa fan I've spoken to who has suggested that. He was asking if we think Mings will stick around for long and seemed genuinely surprised when I said how rich our owners are and how their plans will be far beyond sticking around in the bottom-half of the league. I think I've almost converted him, I reckon I'll have him in a Villa shirt before the end of the season, me being a saints fan in the rugby definitely helped.
