Bad Wolf Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Went to school with him, a year or two below me. Was always a decent footballer even at the age, very quick on the ball and a quality finisher. Nice lad too. I wouldn't consider myself a "friend" of his but he still drinks (well not so much anymore) in the same pub I go to and we have a lot of friends in common. Was chatting to him a few weeks back and he said he'd love to come and play for Saints as they're his local team but no aproach was made. Was wondering who on here thought HCDAJFU for the million or so Burnley paid for him? (Also just worth noting, he had no idea he was going to Burnley til a day before he went)
SuperSAINT Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Their academy manager said that he's probably the best player they've produced through their system recently. Think he was developing quite well, but probably should've stayed at the Cherries for another year or two IMO. He's made quite a big step up.
sfc4prem Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 No better than what we currently have. In fact, I rate Barnard, Guly, Connolly (and obviously Lambert) much higher than him.
Crazy Diamond Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 He was amazing by Bompey standards. Meaning he falls well short of ours.
SaintNeil90 Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 He is seriously over-rated and never worth £1million. He is also injury prone and the injury he has means he will be out for the majority of this season, will never be able to complete a season and has already knocked a good three years off his career (source: Bournemouth physio). Besides that he is a complete and utter (0ck; arrogant and treats girls like 5h1t.
Bad Wolf Posted 10 September, 2011 Author Posted 10 September, 2011 He is far from arrogant. He's very good to his mates, very easy to get on with and he's a laugh. He's a bit cocky but never mistake that for arrogant. A bit mouthy after a few pints but aren't we all. He's a normal 18 year old lad. Last post of the day, enjoy the match, all.

His ex misses would say differently!
Fan The Flames Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 His ex misses would say differently! As a 19 year old he's hardly had a misses, maybe a girlfriend; and weren't we all a bit crap to girlfriends at that age.
Big_Bald_Si Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Still not quite sure why we have a thread on Danny Ings. Also still not sure why i'm in on a Saturday night commenting on it.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Is he a Saints fan? Saw a brick on the fans wall for a 'Daniel Ings' when my son was trying to find my own.
Thedelldays Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 £1 million! cheers Burnley! mugs... not having him is doing wonders for you though....cherio
Crazy Diamond Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 £1 million! cheers Burnley! mugs... It's interesting you say that though, there's been enough protestations about him being sold along with all the others. I think he's seriously overrated, then again, I think McCoid is too.
Bad Wolf Posted 11 September, 2011 Author Posted 11 September, 2011 U drink In the RollCall/Shed aswell? Roll Call yeah. Do you drink in there?
Bad Wolf Posted 11 September, 2011 Author Posted 11 September, 2011 Ah right. Not been down there for a while but last time I went there Danny had come to pick a couple of people up in the car park. Can't say I'm a 'friend' of his as a few of them down there can but I say hello to him etc, always seemed a decent enough lad. Give us a clue as to who you are??
Crowds Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 Usernames a clue... Haha Names Paul aka Rusty...
Bad Wolf Posted 11 September, 2011 Author Posted 11 September, 2011 Usernames a clue... Haha Names Paul aka Rusty... I think I probably would know you if I saw you as you do tend to get to know everyone in that place. Name's Matt, used to go down almost every night with my mates of the same age as me (20), only make it down every couple of weeks or so now. Got married not long ago, had my drink spiked by my wonderful friends on my pittyfully unlively stag night there and got completely smashed. Now we have a rough picture of eachother I look forward to seeing you in the pub in a few weeks and getting a punch in the face from you for making my post sound like a personal add.
