Ming's has got 2 years left on his contract, so if he's going to go, this would be the best time from the point of getting a sizeable fee.

I think he'll stay & sign a new contract. We won't improve unless the likes of Ming's & McGinn are fighting to get in the team.

I’ve just had a look Dave, I had seen it when he tweeted it but reading it back now and knowing we’ve signed Diego, you could be right.

He’s a brilliant lad, a real inspirational character. I’d certainly miss him. He’s been one of my most favourite Villains we’ve had for some time.

Me too. Very good player, proper leader.

I think he’ll shine with better players around (especially in front of) him. Hope that’s with us.

Add me to the Tyrone Mings fan club. Think he'd thrive with better players around him - and although it's secondary when considering footballers, I admire him as a person. One of the most likeable players we've had in a long while.

Just hoping that this Diego Carlos fellow can play left & right side central defence.

I'd read that Mings tweet the other way round. Making sure 'we' are stronger next season, 'see you all soon.' Didn't sound like goodbye to me.

Personally I hope he stays and forges an unbreakable partnership with Diego Carlos.

His last Instagram post 2 days ago said something along the lines of "Thanks for the support this season , we'll be back stronger next season". Definately didn't give off any good bye vibes.

I think Mings is the sort of character who will stay and fight for his place. If that’s true, that's the sort of character we want moving forward as we build a squad. He and Carlos could well end up playing together.

Mings is not the weak link, it’s Konsa.

It's the midfield for me. Luiz nor McGinn can't sit in front of the back four. It's not their game.

Tyrone would be very low on the list of players to leave, him and Carlos at the back already looks solid.

As others have said, add some quality alongside and in front and you will see a different player.

I agree. When the midfield has done its job properly, Mings and Konsa have looked pretty strong.

Mings is a good player, we shouldn’t be getting rid.

It would be madness to let Mings go. He has over 100 Premier League appearances which is valuable experience. Admittedly, there's errors, but he blocks and clears numerous shots and crosses away. People seem to forget that it's 5 subs allowed next season. You need a strong bench with plenty of depth. This new ruling will only favour the so called top four even further, as if they haven't got enough advantage already!

Mings is not the weak link, it’s Konsa.

Neither are the weak link, when you have a motorway size hole in the centre of the field and attacking midfield of the opposition have the freedom of the park any centre back would look inadequate. Put a proper defensive midfielder in and it raises the level of everyone in the defence.

They are both weakened by not having a decent defensively minded player in front,and more so when they don't have full backs around either.
