Join me on the Ings train! There’s like two of us.

ings is a good finisher I’ll give him that some of the goals in the 2019/20 season were brilliant finishes. He’s also insane at pressing defences. But how much our players are roughed about and his glass knees. It’s hard to get on the train haha

So funny this place at times, so today’s meltdown brigade are off, whereas in reality Messi was never leaving Barca, a random Villa fan says Grealish isn’t moving so some jump on that & the worst case scenario Ings is now the only player we are signing.

window isn’t even open. Get a grip. See what happens. Cheers.

It’s irrelevant how rich the Sheikh is. We can only spend what our revenues allow due to FFP.

Splashing out £150m restricts our future market decisions in that year.

It might be the necessary thing to do though.

I agree, my point wasn’t that the ‘sheikh’ was going to personally stump up £150M, it was a response to a poster who said that the sheikh would want a return (by way of resale value) from the purchase.
I responded in like language to observe that wining trophies (and the media value of such trophies) might be return enough for the Sheikh [or MCFC / CFG in our parlance]

I should add that I don’t think we’d pay £150M for any player.
We’ll maybe break our record purchase fee and spend say £80M + add-ons to the tune of another £5M or £10M commensurate with said player playing x often, scoring x goals, winning x number major honours et al?

Fair enough fella, I didn’t know the context.

I think resale value is probably factored in when we buy younger players like Torres so that if they don’t reach the level we thought they were going to, we could cash in lucratively on that investment.

Khaldoon said that we may be looking to buy some slightly older players in his end of year interview last season. Kane certainly fits that and he doesn’t need to prove resale value as we’d be assuming he would be with us until he hangs up his boots or he becomes surplus to requirements.

Whatever we decide, I’ll back our recruitment team as they have so much credit in the bank. They don’t make many mistakes anymore.

Don’t think so, we need a striker to replace aguero, when we didn’t replace kompany it showed the next season, rags will add sancho, Chelsea will add Lukaku, Liverpool will add to their squad. Etc, Delap Is brilliant but still young, pep just does not throw youngsters in their brought in gradually example Foden.

As a club that’s won the premier league this season you cant put all your faith in an academy prospect or winger turned striker to get 15 to 25 goals in the league next season. Can’t play the false 9 all the time either managers will find you out.

adding a Kane/Haaland lays down a mark saying we are not going to just sit back and let our rivals strengthen. We can get better to.

i completely agree with u
