Quote from: Gareth on February 24, 2025, 01:07:26 PMMings has been a great signing for us but the worst case scenario is that he becomes a scapegoat as I know there are some in our fanbase (I have one such prat who sits in front of me) who relish him making any mistake to slag him off and prove they are great footballing minds.I just can't see him becoming a scapegoat, I certainly hope not either, but he's just too well liked by the Villa fans......there's always a few who are different.He's been one of our best signings in the last 15-20 years. He's on par with Mellberg for me. He will be missed but as others have said, time is sadly catching up with him.

He went off Saturday holding his left knee.Think you mean 2023?

Tyrone Mings, along with John McGinn, is emblematic of the club's renaissance since 2019.
I think UE has shown he has little sentimentality when it comes to moving players on, Tyrone will be on a salary that reflects his status as captain, England player and first choice for us. None of which are accurate now. Whilst I have nothing but admiration for him, if we can bring in a younger player, on a lower salary, capable of filling in for the first choices when needed, I suppose we will do.
