VillaChris Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 What about Kurt Zouma on loan with view to permanent? Chelsea well stocked at CB with David Luiz, Christensen and Rudiger as their first choice CBs and Zouma has been loaned out last two years to Stoke and Everton. Assumed Everton had option to buy but seems not. Would also inquire about Yerry Mina if he's not going to be first choice for Everton this season, been good ahead for Colombia in copa america.

jasonperry_uk Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I could be wrong, but I think Yerry Mina has been seen as quite injury prone at Everton. Sure I head an interview on Talksport where they were saying he hardly spends any time on the pitch, particularly in a really physically demanding league like ours.

His run of games was November-December and Everton actually had good defensive run at that point, 0-0 at Chelsea and should've got 0-0 at Anfield before that Pickford era in 95th minute. Started the three games in Copa America and Colombia didn't concede in any of them so depends if Everton want to let him out to get run of games somewhere.

With the high-pressers his ability on the ball will be sternly put to the test. Not saying he can't do it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I imagine he'll get caught out a few times, but he'll learn how much time he has on the ball in a new league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that video, he looks better than Mings, he looks so comfortable on the ball My thoughts exactly. In these ridiculous times he looks worth the £20m. Looks as comfortable playing in ‘midfield/wing’ as at the back . Importantly another ball playing player. Note: we will need 3 new CB’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hause and Chester already , 2 more CB's would do us , defence would be fine then , keeper, right sided winger and defensive midfielder would be priority at that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure he’d be expected to very often. It’s a different game and although he’ll be facing better players, he’ll also have better players around him, who will move the ball forwards. I think that the coaches and scouts we have will be looking for players that can do specific jobs that fit in with a style we want to play. Their job is then to get them all singing off the same hymn sheet to create a strong and cohesive team. Easier said than done, but that’s what successful clubs do. At this point it’s about recognising potential impact on the team and then recruiting the best players we can get to build a strong squad. I’m confident we’ll be looking into all aspects of potential recruits including past performance and also what they’ll be able to, hopefully, achieve next season and beyond.

This is going to be a very interesting Villa side, players in every position who can create something going forwards. Hope we get him. His game seems quite similar to Mings. Both good on the ball, can get forward, and spray passes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did their time at Ipswich overlap? Guess that's why we're going so strong on him, I'm assuming him and Mings were in same back 4 and had good understanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was spraying them with both feet too. If he can defend as well maybe this lad is the real deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 According to transfermarkt, Mings only played 6 games in central defence whilst at Ipswich, his other 51 appearances for them were at left-back, and some of those were as a wing-back, he was very highly rated in that position as well, which is why Bournemouth paid the big fee for him, it's only really with us that he's had a consistent run as a centre-back. Still if he's played with Webster before, and they both sign then that can only be a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total unmitigated nonsense, I've seen him play a number of times, pretty good player but £20m+ is very poor value.

As @useless said above, Mings was a LB at Ipswich, and i believe Bournemouth bought him as a LB pretty much, he really only played consistently at CB at Villa. Webster also looks like he started as a full back, not sure when he played mostly at CB, but he defo plays CB for Bristol. Would be funny to have a 6ft 4 CB (Mings), and a 6ft 3 CB (Webster), then add that to Targett who is 6ft.......just Guilbert who is 5ft 8 and a half then up front we will have Wesley (6ft 3) and El Ghazi (6ft 2).......if we arent rubbish we could be nasty from free kicks/corners next season.
