For me? I rate him. An instinctive goal poacher, a 6 yard box opportunist, which is what we need. Depends on the price tho, obvs he injury prone, but we don't need to play him every 3 days, Pep loves to mix 'n match. Deffo keep GJ tho' cos his contribution is phenomenal. Play 'em alternatively or together. I thinks he'd surprise a lot on these pages.

We`ll get killed in the rush for Ings. Bayern, Inter, Real, Madrid Barcelona, PSG, Chelsea, United and Liverpool.

My arse

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.

We won’t be breaking any transfer record for Haaland or any other top striker except our own, and it should be this way. We are signing the replacement of our biggest player. We won’t be paying for that guy, whoever he is, the same we paid for Rodri or Dias; it will be considerably more because strikers are the most expense position (and also the one that gives the most back) and because that is how much it costs to sustain the ambitions we have. If we mess it up in signing a striker, it looks pretty clear to me that Chelsea and United will be serious threats to us next year. When Pep fell in love with Mbappe, we were willing to go up to 120 (some say 130) million for him, but he wanted to stay in France. We once again have the money for that major signing. A player like Ings or an unproven talent in top level will not be replacing Manchester City’s biggest striker ever. Period

Fair enough.

Tho' I do wonder if the red scousers considered it that way before taking a punt on Mo Sala, or the with Suarez, or Leicester with Vardy, or currently Kelechi Iheanacho, remember him? Just cos a player hasn't hit the heights with previous clubs, doesn't necessarily make him shit, they just didn't get the opportunity. A club can pay a fortune for a "top rated" player, who rocks up as a dog, just ask Utd, or Everton or Chelsea, or any other club who paid millions for a "worldy" that went on to stink the place out. I still have nightmares about Bradbury (remove the r's as the joke went), and Vuoso, Fowler et al.

As I've said, it's only my opinion, so it's worth ensuring your underwear remains in alignment.
 
Would make a good backup/ rotation. Don't get why people are acting like he's bad. Defs not want him as the main striker tho
 
No thanks. He’d spent more time on the injury list than actually playing. He’s the modern day Mcmanaman
 
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.

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.
 
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.

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!

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