Danny Ings

[Mayor West]

I've already said I rate him, but this smacks of post title winning signing under Mancini!

Oh and I guarantee he'd be thought of in higher regard if his name was Danilo Ingsingho

 

[doobyedoobye]

How this even made the printed press......

I dont think people are criticising the lad or what he is capable of,but he's a huge drop off in terms of where we are looking.

There's nothing wrong with Ing's ability mate, he's a good finisher and his all round game isn't bad, but he's 29 and injury prone and just not at the level we're aiming for, however you spell his name.

Top class striker I’d be happy with this summer and a new left back

I wouldn't think any more beyond not wanting him if his name was Danny Di Stefano.

Rumours Delap is going to be loaned to a championship team next season.

I have heard the same, what frustrates me is that with the league so close to being sewn up there is a real opportunity to bring him off the bench in some of the remaining league games to have a good look at him.

 

[TonyM]

Never ever seen him have a good 5 mins.

I feel like if there is any truth to this, it's contingent on a very specific set of circumstances.

For example, the plan is almost certainly to release Aguero and replace him with a world class striker (Haaland/Kane).

The only way I see us extending Aguero now is if he shows some life before the summer and we are unable to get who we want up front, in which case we may prefer to wait a year rather than spunking 100m on Martinez or some other alternative.

But even then, I doubt we go into another season with our current striking options, so in that scenario maybe Ings could sign as a third choice, relatively cheap HG player but with a guarantee that he'll get the chance to play regularly if he produces.

The wildcard is Jesus, as his contract is up in '23 and we haven't heard a lot about an extension. If he decided not to renew, the club would have a decision to make on whether there's more value in selling this summer in a depressed market or next summer with one year left. Either way, I feel like a Jesus replacement would be someone with a similar profile, such as Daka. So I'm not certain Ings comes into it.

Basically, I could see us starting next season with something akin to either:

Haaland/Kane, Jesus/Daka
or
Aguero, Jesus/Daka, Ings

(Hoping for the former, with Haaland and Jesus).

We've already used all 4 HG spots for Champions League purposes (Aké is actually using a foreign spot despite being homegrown) so there's no advantage to Ings being homegrown. If he were to be signed it would be to replace an existing squad player.
