He was still a part of one of the best defences in the Premier league though. And he brings something to our club that goes above and beyond just what is out on the playing field. He's a leader, and we desperately needed one of those. And that makes us forgive a lot of his short-comings. I can see why other teams supporters wouldn't rate him though, because defence is the kind of position where it's hard to have a good highlights real. For us, £26m (including add-ons, which you quite rightly point out is the more accurate fee) is an absolute bargain. Konsa's the better one of the two by some way. I agree that Mings has talismanic qualities in the form of, say Deeney at Watford (obviously in different positions) with his muscular, aggressive, in-your-face approach to the game and his value lies more in what he gets out of the rest of the team through his leadership, rather than anything constructive of his own. That said, there's always room for a destroyer or two, and he's excellent at that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's the highlights in peoples hair you are talking about, there are a couple of "unusual" clips of those and his studs available 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
