Arsenal Again Watch Mings
Monday, 10th Nov 2014 23:26

Arsenal are reported to be stepping up their interest in Town left-back Tyrone Mings.

The Gunners have been regular visitors to Portman Road to keep an eye on Mings this season and scout Pat Holland was again at Saturday’s victory over Watford.

In the summer, Town turned down an offer of more than £3 million from Crystal Palace with Mings, who the Blues are now understood to rate in the £10 million bracket, subsequently signing a new contract until June 2017.

While Arsenal would appear to head the queue of interested parties, Chelsea and Everton are also amongst a host of Premier League clubs to have been watching Mings, who was signed for only £10,000 from Chippenham in December 2012, with Burnley linked over the weekend.

Out of all the suggestions so far, I think Arsenal would be the best most likely option. I'm hoping that he will stay for this season and hopefully play for us in the Prem. Even if we don't make it this season I believe a sale would be on the cards but with a club like Arsenal a loan back could be agreed! Hopefully he stays and we will get promoted.

Scott loach has gone to Bury!! Good servant to the club, loyal but just not up to championship level at all.
Shame, nice guy.
Says on sky sports he's been dropped ever since his mistake against us!
(Good lad) ;)

£10,000 to £10m in two years.

Blimey. Either he's becoming very highly rated or inflation has gone through the roof!!

Suspect there will be a bid or two in Jan window for Mings. His ability yo cover as a sweeper (when we had corners )to stop Watford scounter attacks with consummate ease will not have gone un noticed and haz just added another couple of million to his price tag.

Would be suprised if we sold him.......and I expect him to be an England left back ahead of Cressie, who he has already surpassed IMHO in terms of potential.

The way Arsenal are playing I doubt we'd get a loan back as they need this sort of emerging talent in their team!!!

Can't see us selling in January if we are still up there but will be harder to keep him in the summer if we don't go up.

I kinda like that dear old defence-focussed Arse are envious of our defender! Sweet! Long may they continue to want, but not get him ;)

What a player, what a talent! Worth £10m now, perhaps £15 by end of the season IMHO.

40,000,000 and he's yours, Arsene. I reckon he's better than the entire current Arsenal defence combined!

If we can get £10m and loaned back for the rest of the season then I'm sure we'd probably do the deal. Otherwise, I can't see us selling in January if we're in and around the top 6. Is he really going to play ahead of Kieran Gibbs? Too many youngsters make these big money moves when they'd probably be better off staying where they were for a couple more years.

Do you remember transfer deadline day, when we were all scratching our heads wondering why we had turned down a bid of £3 million! Well i think we've seen exactly why that was now, Ty has been awesome every game & will only get better, credit to big Mick for having a big say in turning the bid down!

Why sell his price is only going to go up, not for sale at any price this Jan. 10 mil is nothing to Arsenal, never acccept that.

ITFC should get England caps before he leaves us then.

It's obvious that Cressy was 'surplus to requirements' Mings, quite simply, is not.

I've always thought Arsenal would be his best bet. I think he's actually ready to make that step up now. I expect them to offer some serious money in the next window...maybe 5-8m...and I suspect we'll take it. Of course we'd love him to stay, but I doubt we'll keep him.
We'll see.

If it's a decent bid, I can see him going, Parr will revert to left back (his favoured position) and Chambers likely to stay out wide.

Not perfect, but still competitive.and solid.

A team costing £10,000, has now produced players worth Millions !!!!!! Well done to MM and his staff for getting us there !!! Gone are those awful days in the past when we had to give players away, also pay them to go,, to many to mention, !!!!!! mistakes from previous managers I quote ,,, Marcus Evans must be pleased no more contracts to pay up at the moment..

WOW - Mings will go to a big club - His recovery after making a mistake is immence.
I think his best game was against wolves last week getting forward and for such a tall player he is good on the ball.
Is his dad a scout for Cheslea???

£10 million is a lot of money for a championship left back IMO, cant see how he has already surpassed Cressie either , player of the year , most assists last season now established in a top 4 premier side compared to a player who has had an excellent quarter of a season ?
Think he would be third choice at Chelsea and Arsenal , certainly second choice at Everton and would Palace or Burnley be that much of a step up come the end of the season ?
Stay here Ty and learn properly

Don't be in too much of a hurry Tyrone look what happened to Richard Wright's career when he moved up too soon.

Does anyone know if Chippenham had a sell-on clause in the transfer agreement? Even a small perecentage of any profit would mean a lot to a non-league team.

Apart from promoted teams I can't think of many championship players who have succeeded in the Premiership.
