Yerry Mina


Recommended Posts

We need to drop this one- you think we’d have learnt our lesson from Witsel. We’re like the ugly kid in a disco who has asked a fit bird to dance and she’s said maybe later and now we’re standing in the corner watching all the trendier better looking lads chat her up but still hoping she’s going to fuck themmoff for you.

I like your metaphor, but in this case Witsel chose the ugly old fag with deep pockets. The lesson is: "If you're ugly, you better be rich."

I wouldn’t be against having an entirely new back 4. 

We’re not signing Mina though. 

I’d keep Coleman but we defo need 2 cb and it looks like Digne is all but done. Hopefully the shambles of a pre season will kick the board up the arse to get 2 in.

I’d be replacing him as well, but I’ve thought and wanted that for years. I wanted Trippier for that when he was still with Burnley. Heart of a lion but, imo, Coleman isn’t good enough.

Really? That does surprise me- I think he’s a good attacking full back which is what Silva likes to use but admittedly, I’d have Trippier over him but that ships well sailed. One things for sure, not signing at least one centre back will be as criminal as not replacing Lukaku was. Something needs to be done as the beating we’re taking wont be doing their confidence any good.

Obviously we’ve got no chance of getting of Trippier, I wasn’t suggesting we could do that. Just using him as an example to show that it’s not a recent thing of me wanting Coleman replaced. I’ve never been as enamoured with him as most are. He’s a good attacking full-back, as you say, but he’s not great. I think it’s because of his poor crossing, it pisses me off and always has done. I wish we’d cashed in on him when the hype was around him.

It doesn’t help that he’s lost a bit of pace since his terrible injury.

No I know you wasn’t suggesting get Trippier I was just agreeing that if itbwas a choice of the 2 I would have him. Colemans injury was a shame but to his credit he’s come back strong and he gives his all for the shirt. I’m hoping he can flourish under Silvas system but it looks like he’ll be going with the same one we’ve played for 6 seasons.

Read a few bits saying he’s really slow (pace and decision making)... was impressed with him at the World Cup and didn’t notice this but it would put me off the idea if true.

I was trying to find some videos to see how quick he was but couldnt really find anything. He seems adept at sticking a long lanky leg into a tackle and coming out with the ball but Im not sure how well that would translate to a more physical and aggressive league.

Let’s go for Maguire probably the better player for the PL. 

Not for £65mill though as the press were reporting.

Always liked Maguire. I remember when we played Hull, he stood out for me. Mentioned it in the game thread on here. Always been impressed with how he charges forward with the ball.

Didn’t realise they were looking at that sort of money, makes you wonder what is Stones value now.

sky reports....  

VILLA ENTER MINA RACE?

Aston Villa have made a surprise offer for Barcelona defender Yerry Mina, reports TMW.

The Sky Bet Championship side have offered Barcelona an initial fee of €10m and €10m in add-ons.

However, Barca are seeking a fee of €40m for the Colombia international, who is also a firm target for Manchester United and Everton.

Digne is telling him to come. That'll work.

In one way, I can't blame him for exploring his options and looking for the best move.

He's moving from Barcelona, which would be hard enough on its own, but the fact he's only been there since January and having to move again would probably mean he wants his next move to be right so he can settle.

On another hand...his Uncle is just bring a typical agent and playing the field. Supposed to have deals sorted with 3 clubs? Behave.

If he signs for United he’s a fool because he may as well stay at Barca as he’ll sit on Uniteds bench as well.

Having watched a few clips of him he looks a bit of a donkey - admittedy anyone can make clips to make a player look good or bad but some of the defending I’ve watched him do has seen him flat on his arse dazed and confused by the attacker.

I don’t get all these shouts about Mina playing us for a move to a bigger club, as far as I’m aware we have not had a bid accepted by Barcelona so the lad has not had any decisions to make 

This is a strange one...his Uncle/Agent is saying he has agreed terms with 3 clubs, now it's just down to which club agrees terms with Barcelona.

If this is true, like Paddock says above, walk away. We'll end up getting our pants pulled down for fees etc.

If this is true ot pleases me no end. We need to learn our lesson from being  fucked about in the past.

Definitely learnt our lesson this time, we've not let ourselves be strung along at all. We've walked away early this time to give us ample time to go after another target... :lol:

This is what I think as well to an extent. From what I understand both us and Lyon have the highest bids on the table but Barca still want more than we are offering. Utd have offered less. I suspect Barca have allowed Mina to speak to some or all of the clubs in anticipation that they both need him to leave and they expect to come to an agreement with one of the clubs.

The lad may have been given possible choices but until an offer is accepted it means sweet FA.

We will buy a new centre half though this window- it wont be a repeat of Giroud at least.

It's a cluster fuck of social media information this one 

Depending on who you believe us along with United and Lyon have had bids accepted and terms agreed others saying just bids accepted others saying Barca want more

His uncle/agent saying the above then saying afterwards he wishes to speak with us.... 

With the lack of movement for a CB which we clearly need it does seem this one is what we are holding out for I just hope we have a solid back up plan if it goes tits up
