Danny Ings

[Tugay One Cup]

I just don't get why his reputation has skyrocketed after one good season. Is he the latest working man's player or something?

The guy has spent half his career injured and the other half recording unremarkable goal tallies, which isn't great for someone who is supposedly a lethal poacher. He didn't even do great in the lower leagues.

He's another Rickie Lambert.

Ings is apparently an old word of Norse origin that refers to water meadows and marshes.
That’s the extent of my interest.

I can't help back to Jonny Evans - another 'mid table' player who would have been no use to us WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT during the last five years before Dias finally arrived.

And much like Evans he'd be fine as a backup if we needed one. We don't need a backup though, we have plenty of players that can do a competent job up front whether as a striker or as a false 9, we need a first choice player capable of filling Aguero's boots. Signing this calibre of player at this age on top club wages without improving the first team is where Barca went wrong over the last 5 years. Our squad is terrific, it's the first eleven we need to be looking to improve.

Reports = agent of ings tells skysorts to get more interest= more £

Bound for the swamp then?

 

[Semper aggressus]

Fine with him signing but not if we don’t sign Haaland as well.

Look where we are as a club now, probably never been more attractive to any player than we are now. If we shit ourselves paying big boys fees for the very best, particularly when we desperately need a striker good enough to replace the league’s greatest ever then we’re basically accepting rags and Chelsea are bigger clubs which is utter nonsense and completely the wrong attitude.

Sometimes you need to go toe to toe and fucking win at any cost, for the club’s progression, reputation and future.

 

[feelymcfeel]

Also, how is he only 28? Seems to have been around forever.

 

[Patientman63]

Thing is no one knows who we will go for apart from the people at that the club who are looking .

Is the correct answer!

I picked up the Danny Ings rumour off Sky Sports. Now, whether they are just fishing around, or actually have a source at the club, I don't know.

But IF the club are truly interested, then such interest will have come from Txiki and/or Pep, and whilst their choices accross the last 5 years haven't been 100% good, they've got way more right than wrong!

 

[Woody135]

We have never broke a transfer record. We have improved every position as and when with better players. Is he better than what we have? I think he could be an option. And the £100m+ less he would cost than a top draw player would go elsewhere.

Its unlikely but you need options. You need an alternative to getting rinsed in the market.

Why would we save money to invest elsewhere when this is the exact (and possibly only) position that absolutely needs the investment

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Probably due to who he's been playing for and scoring chances they create. We create chances, lots of em, just need someone to knock them in. If the club don't fancy spunking 100m plus for Haaland/Kane, they'd do a lot worse imho.

We could do just as well with Liam Delap.
