Stinks of Carrillo this one.

Wager for charity on who’s prediction is closer? You decide how much. 10th place 😂😂😂

Class from Livramento there.

A long season where we can’t score and can’t stop others scoring. Rock bottom for me. Newcastle (18th) and Norwich (19th) to come down with us. Ralph to be gone within 15 games. Probably another very heavy defeat to one of the big boys.

Lol.

I thought that a while back as well. He never really got a chance, which was strange.

You don’t actually believe that, do you? The club obviously knew ings was off, they were just trying to get a replacement in before hand.

I agree. In Crocker and semmens I think the club are in good hands. The trouble is, how long will they stick around? I’d have thought even they were expecting the club to be sold by now.

Maybe. But not as a right midfielder, it’d have to be a Jorginho type.

Did he himself actually say he’d only leave for CL or was that just the line pushed by club preferred media?

Not true, just the bad far outweighs the good at this current moment in time I’m afraid. FWIW, as you’ve clearly ignored, In the last week or 2 I’ve praised the signing of the 2 Chelsea youngsters (I like what we’ve done there) and praised the club for getting 30m for Danny. I think Semmens and Crocker are doing a very good job with the tools (or lack of) they’ve been given. Other than that, there’s nothing to be positive about. We’re a player (with any quality) short in pretty much every position (other than RB) and have no money to add any quality.

Reasonable shout. Wouldn’t mind either of those with perhaps someone a bit more experience coming in as well. I can’t see either of those replacing Ings goals alone though.

Because we’re a mess on a downwards spiral towards the championship without a pot to piss in and a shit load of debt. One of the worst posters because I’m saying stuff you happy clappers don’t want to hear. I find it amazing how many are willing to sit back and lap up anything positive said, but as soon as anything negative is said (and let’s be honest, there’s a shit load of it at the moment), they’re deemed to be a troll. But you carry on and Pretend everything is all rosey and we’re this well ran super club.

I agree. He’s captain by default really. A great professional, and one of, if not the best free kick takers around. Other than that, he’s pretty average. Many similar CM’s (excluding free kicks) around like him for half the price. Given the fee he’d command, I honestly wouldn’t be too bothered if he went. 40-50m (my opinion it’d be on the lower end) + 15-20 for Vestergaard and the 30 for ings would give us a real chance at rebuilding. maybe it’s a bit to late in the window now, but if we some how stay up and if he went next summer (which i think is a given regardless of what happens to us), we should have a big pot to play with.

It’s a completely different game now though. You wouldn’t see beckham breaking through as a right midfielder or probably at all, in a top top club, in this day and age.

Always, you’re so obsessed buddy. I know Turkish and I live in your head, rent free (as they say), but there’s plenty of threads in the lounge where you can sling your personal insults. Let’s keep this one on topic about Danny Ings and not your obsession with me.

If correct, and it’s 40m euros (not £), that’s a very good deal. works out, only slightly more than we got for Danny. Still surprised Villa didn’t go for Tammy over ings, if I’m honest.

I agree. Can’t see them sanctioning it this summer now. That being said, I can’t see him (JWP) not being very interested in a move to Leicester.

Pereira has left West Brom for a team in Saudi. What a shame, a real talent.. another who’d have been a good fit here and added much needed creativity in the 10.

Likewise. Too late for any new potential owner to have any impact now. Does the sale of ings suggest no take over is close? Surely if you were to sell, you’d want your prized asset still at the club.

I can’t see it. I could see him and a loan though. I’m not a huge fan as an ings replacement, but it’d be a real kick in the teeth if Armstrong rejects us (or we try playing hard Ball and miss out). He’s clearly very high up our list and I must admit, I felt like there was a deal to be done with Blackburn in a part ex with obafemi. Still hopefully we’ll be in for Eduoard

Surely not even we’re incompetent enough to only sign him…

I wouldn’t at all be against this. I think he’d suit us.

i don’t know if he’s any good, but at 5m, as you say it’s a low risk signing. It’d also allow us to explore the option of a second, more expensive, striker (Armstrong, that lad from PSV etc.).

You’re right, Leicester’s model is pretty similar to us and is where we were 4/5 seasons ago. The reason they do it better is because they are willing to invest a bit to pick up good young players who they know will give them a return on investment in the future. As an example Tielemans. We’re always on the hunt in the bargain bin. Who more often than not end up being a load of shite (hence why they’re in the bargain bin). in answer to the OP, yeah, the league is too rich for us. The question should be why.
