A weeks wages fine for not having Phil Collins on your playlist.
It will make them think twice.
On Chukwuemeka, he's clearly a talent, but was the issue wages or playing time? Because surely if he's so good, he gets enough minutes for a fairly average Villa side.
If the rumours that he wanted £100k a week are true you can understand their stance. Probably should have taken him on tour though and intimated that they'd be looking to keep him and convince him to sign a new deal, then sell late in the window.
What are the chances Chelsea loan him out?
On Mings, the real miracle is that he's ever made himself a career above Championship level. He's outstanding physically and size wise but he has no quality on the ball and lacks defensive instincts, nor the footballing brain to really assert his physicality in an effective way. When he used to be at Ipswich I was surprised by the fee they got for him then, let alone subsequent 8 figure sales later.
