With the Cherries smashing their transfer record to secure the services of Tyrone Mings from Ipswich Town for a whopping £8 million, the trabsfer fee is said not to phase the 22-year old.
Speaking in the Bournemouth Evening Echo, Mings is quoted as saying: "I'm a laid-back person and it really doesn't bother me. Bournemouth have paid what they've paid and Ipswich were happy with the deal, and I'm just the player in between. People can put whatever spin on it that they like but I did what I did at Ipswich and even though I've never played in the Premier League, Bournemouth were prepared to take a gamble on me. I think it's a perfect fit. I'm just looking to make the transition as seamlessly as possible and hit the ground running. I took the jump from non-league to Ipswich in my stride and I'm intending to do the same here. It's going to be a big learning process because it's the best league in the world that I'm trying to get used to, but it's the same situation for most people here".
