Already is - he's just inconsistent.
We had one of the best defences in the league last year for clean sheets and we conceded tied 8th in the league. He's never let England down - always seems to do well for them.
Not sure why everyone hates on Mings so much...

No loyalty in football
Feel Rangers fans will resent him now especially if it all goes wrong for Rangers this season

They do need the money though to be fair.... And he stopped the 10 in a row.
But yeah, absolutely - loyalty is dead in football.
Did Norwich show loyalty to Farke?
Newcastle to Bruce?
Villa to Smith?
Watford to Munoz?
You are right, there is no loyalty in football. Players, managers, clubs all look after themselves first of all, it is a vicious circle. People raise loyalty when it suits them, not having a go here, but forget it when they want rid of a player, manger etc that they believe is not performing. As a manger you are aways close to the sack, let's not blame a manager when they jump ship before the chop reaches them.

Why should there be loyalty? If any of us got offered a better job in terms of pay and location we'd probably take it. I don't really understand the typical football fan's expectation of 'loyalty'.

Exactly my point...turn him into a consistent performer. There's a spot at international level with Maguire out of form and Stones in & out of the City team.

From the BBC Gossip page:
Paul Pogba wants to renew his contract with Manchester United but the 28-year-old France midfielder is demanding he overtakes Cristiano Ronaldo to become the Premier League's highest-paid player. (L'Equipe, via Metro)

I think he'd be better off playing in China at this point. Get paid all the money and barely have to lift a finger.

To be fair to Norwich - he took them up and down a couple times before they've pulled the trigger. More than most would.

Pogba is just banter. Plays well for France and did well in Italy and seems to think hes worth the most money at united
You can make a case for each and every one, both ways.
In the case of Norwich, Farke took them up twice, playing attractive football. Carrow Road was a sell out each week, he had limited, for the PL, money to spend. 1st time up he barely had a peny as the club used the money to balance the books. Take all into account, he did a very good job. I can see why they sacked him but you can make a case for him to stay quite easily. I think he will find another job quite easily, whether in England or in Europe.

I think he did well for them too - but agree that I can see why hes gone - albeit maybe a little late to save them this season - but time will tell.
I think he will fall on his feet for sure, plenty of clubs want attacking football and he provides that.

Totally agree with this. When Paul Lambert left us to go to Norwich he got dogs abuse from some sections of our fans. But to me he was leaving to go to a better job with a bigger club and more money. I'm surprised it took him longer than 5 seconds to decide.

Yeah, I think there are some rules to abide by, like perhaps not joining your team's biggest rivals. But generally I think it's silly that footballers feel like they can't admit that they're going to bigger club for more money - why is it frowned upon?? Then they have to come out with some bollocks like "I supported them as a boy" (no you didn't) or "I feel the club matches my ambitions" (yeah they matched it with enough £ signs you mean). I'd love to see just one interview after a transfer where they player just fronted up and said "They practically doubled my money, it was a no-brainer".

I think he’s a good CB .
But he seems to lose concentration at times and that leads to mistakes imo.
He has all the attributes to be a quality CB.
Good luck to Stevie.
