It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Would we potentially sign Ings and Haaland? Perhaps the plan is to move Jesus out left, but then where does that leave Grealish potentially coming in? Just hoping Ings isn't the only centre forward on the horizon if he is coming.

I refuse to believe Sergio Aguero has been let go to make room for Danny fucking Ings.
Its not even “peak” Ings, its injury-prone 28 yo Danny Ings.
Anyone that is giving this any thought needs to give their head a serious wobble.
Sergio is leaving to make room for the next superstar, that is the only option.

is Pol Ballus reliable? Seems to have a good relationship with Pep and he's been tweeting a lot over the last 2 days about the Aguero situation and about transfers

His injury record is shocking but he is a great finisher. If we do sign him I am convinced it is as a backup, and not as a main replacement.

If we are buying Ings it should be for tuppence and sent to the colonies (West or SouthEast).

Don’t understand the downer on Danny Ings. Plenty of games this season where a player like him would’ve meant hitting a side for double figures. People forget that we’ve barely seen Serge this season so he ain’t replacing anybody.
Don’t get me wrong, if we ONLY (can’t believe I’m typing this as someone who got excited when we signed Gary Megson) signed Ings I’d be hacked off. But if he came in the same window as a Messi or Haaland I’d be delighted.
We’ve got away with not having a striker this season because of the awful form of Liverpool (And everyone really). Doubt we’d get away with it 2 seasons on the bounce.

Wonder if they opened it.

Flying in the face of lockdown regulations too

Injury prone and unfashionable.
