The Sale of Cressie was sanctioned because MM knew Mings was ready. He said it all last season.sensible management schanchel, MCG was on lian when MM arrived at PR but that was at Coventry. MM bought him here. Just because a scout recommended a player dosnt mean a manger will sign him so credit where its due surely. Admittedly one ought to Pay attention if RO is the recomendour. MM gave him the contract. Bluesteel at least half that list consits of players not signed by MM abd we all know we gad a pair of buffoons before big Mick arrived. To answer your question Berra 1st choice cb in the 1st team, skuse in 1st team, MCG and Murph 1st choice strikers 1st team, Gerkin 1st team, Anderson 1st team, tabb 1st team etc. Plus numerous names there who have been at the club less than 6 months, fancy allowing them time to settle in? No? Ken Bates school it isthen

Doesn't surprise me TM is being followed with the Sky games he's played in recently and one to come tomorrow - it's just a 'window' for the fat cats to look at players in the lower leagues! Is it me or is the Premiership (particularly the bigger clubs, who has the biggest purse) wins? - It's starting get beyond a joke now.
Only good thing about this is that if Chelsea and Arsenal DO have an interest in him then eventually if they want him that bad then they can pay through the nose for him or bu@*er off!

How refreshing to hear some positive comment on our managerial team!
In total agreement. Anyone that thinks MM is not taking this club forward in every way needs a proper reality check.

£15m is the price, now go away...

Simple.

sorry forgot Aaron McLean

Have to hold hands up, surprised we rejected offer for Mings on transfer deadline day. Not because I don't like him, I do. Think he is a decent player, yet more of a CB in my opinion. However £2.5M could well be underpriced now. If more clubs want him, the value will increase dramatically.

Sorry just noticed i put wrong word in my earlier post should have read proposition not superstition o well

Bidding starts at £25m gentlemen!

ha ha ha

He ain't going anywhere for a while.

you have to admit people may not have always been to happy with the team selection of mick mccarthy. But i don't think that there is anyone that could say that he hasn't been amazing in the transfer market. Adding a real depth to our squad and knowing that everyone in the first team could be picked and do a good job. There are not to many teams in the championship that have this. Yes some have more players, but the quality and diversity is up there

McGoldrick Bishop Mings Berra et al if we are so good and have all these valuable players why are we mid table and play such Shi* football.
Management well lack off and any sensible tactics.

Before MM, we weren't mid-table or pushing for the top six like we have been for the past two seasons - and the football was far worse than it is now - remember Peterborough, Blackpool, Leicester and Palace -25 goals conceded in four games? Remember the Norwich derbies under Jewell - 1-9 on aggregate? I didn't like those times much. Maybe you did?

It's noticeable that our U18s and U21s are also becoming more competitive in their leagues too. It's an other sign of progress and increasing strength in depth - a winning club gets the habit right through.

Things are definitely going in the right direction.

I hope this will be an incentive for Ty to put in some really big performances, starting at Wigan!

Anyone watching the game in calis turkey Monday night.

Mings won't play for Chelasea or Arsenal--he will play against them--with Ipswich, and he will be awesome!

COYB

All the Premiership teams will be eyeing all the promising lower league players all the time. I just hope we keep Mings for as long as possible cos he's going to be a star.

As I said last and this week, it wouldn't be long before the big boys come running with their big cheque books. I can't understand some people on here, yes we all know, and I'm sure Ty knows himself, he's not the finished article, but, what a massive difference he's made to the whole team this season. It would be nice for us to keep hold of him for a least a full season but I fear there'll be an offer even ME can't refuse. Someone has already mentioned £25, that shouldn't even get us around the table.

blue steele - Call me stupid by all means; but I don't understand what your post is supposed to mean.

if you sign enough players even an average manager like MM gets lucky

Yes Bluesteel but as I have pointed out half those players were not signed by Mick, a quarter are in the 1st team and most of the remainer in tge squad. I guess Chelsea, utd, city, arsenal and spurs are all lucky too in that case. They all sign hatfulls. Finding gems on a shoe string is rather harder though and based on the ratio above I think were doing ok. A work in progress but progressing

I think the MM knockers would agree that he has done well for town so far, in avoiding relegation, getting as to half-way, and finding some talent to play for us. I think the main beef is the way we play. We don't want to watch hoofball, and yet the fear is that MM will never change his spots, and continue to do this even if we do go up. We want a winning side, sure, but we also want to enjoy watching our team play. The fear is that with Mick, we never will.

blue steele - thanks for that.
