Danny Ings

[aguero93:20]

Its bollocks but i'll play along and say id sooner we brought Kelechi home.

That too.

 

[CatMan]

He's better than average but at 28 he ain't getting any better. As others have mentioned, it would make more sense to give Delap a run.

Let this die

 

[RayCTID]

A decent squad option but not as a main target

 

[pudge]

I would be all for it alongside Haaland. A proper striker who knows how to work in the six yard box. With Sergio injured we've missed that.

I see Jesus drifting out wide more permanently as his career goes on

 

[MarsLlama]

No chance we sign Ings. Almost 29, insanely injury-prone and in shit form. United would love him.

 

[manimanc]

We are in for him







According to Sky Sports sources ;-)

That is sky sports to a tee, stories surface about the possibility of haaland coming to us and these cunts break the story about us for ings.
Clap clap clap I even think sky have outskyed themselves with this, just smell the bitterness from them.

 

[K-Bo]

Instead of haaland hilarious. As well as haaland assuming aguero and 1 other of our attacking mids/Jesus leave. Don't mind it.

This reeks of an agent trying to get a new, better contract for him at his current club, and he’s using us for that. Should have a picked a different club since no one at Southampton will believe this

Ings has ran down his deal at saints. Going into final year I think. So doubt that. Might be his agent shooting for the stars but he's definitely leaving Southampton.

 

[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.

 

[ctid83]

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.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

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.
