Saint IQ Posted 19 April, 2015 Share Posted 19 April, 2015 He's not good enough for our starting 11 so he's deluding himself if he's talking about us. I'll think I'll wait and see what Ron says about that, besides he'll play more here than at Manure or Loserpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint IQ Posted 19 April, 2015 Share Posted 19 April, 2015 We're a top 6 club, top 8 at worst. Ings isn't good enough to be a regular for any top half club. He's barely good enough to make our bench. We can easily sign Austin so we'd have Pelle, Austin, Rodriguez, Mane and Long as options upfront. Where would Ings fit in? You speak as if you're so certain, really is a laughable statement considering he's only 22. What makes you think we can easily sign Austin?

Ings vs Pelle. 9 goals each, Ings 4x assists, Pelle has 2x assists. One plays in a much worse team with far fewer opportunities. N.B. I'm not "slating" Pelle before anyone starts as he's done well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I'd be happy. Amazed this 'done deal' hasn't leaked and he's still being linked with all and sundry. How would Ings,Hernandez,Jay Rod,Pelle,Mane and Long do as attacking options?

N.B. I'm not "slating" Pelle before anyone starts as he's done well for us. Pelle is fuking sh*te and isn't good enough for a top half Prem team. He's only played so much because we didn't sign another striker because we expected Jay back sooner. He's easily the worst player in our starting 11. Our current strike force doesn't meet the quality of the rest of the club and has cost us a CL spot. Ings would be ideal as a squad player but we'll struggle upfront if we sign him as a first choice rather than backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 21 April, 2015 Share Posted 21 April, 2015 Difficult decision, now that Charlie Austin in in the picture, too. and rumours suggest Ings will go to Liverpool. Ings was born in the area - if that counts for anything nowadays? - and much younger than Austin, although on current form you'd have to go for Charlie..... We must trust Les / Ron to make the right choice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's barely good enough to make our bench. We can easily sign Austin so we'd have Pelle, Austin, Rodriguez, Mane and Long as options upfront. Where would Ings fit in? I think the answer to that one has been seen this season. We have two international strikers, neither of whom is in form, and a third whose been on the treatment table for almost a year. With the best defence in the country, we're still in 7th place, mainly due to a lack of goalscoring talent...... if it were me I'd buy TWO more strikers and see who fits the bill.

East Kent Saint Posted 21 April, 2015 Share Posted 21 April, 2015 Austin looks a better goal scorer than Ings (going by Motd) and also runs around a bit , his shots seem more considered than Pelle's , apart from his Stoke goal which wasn't a flick or wild slash for once !

We signed Osvaldo from Roma when we were a bottom half club ffs Bigger clubs might be in for Austin as well. Roma couldn't wait to get rid of Osvaldo and were probably having a party when they saw how much Cortese was going to pay for him.

Yeah looks decent, will perform better in a more attacking side but does his defensive dutys well which most will not take notice of in a striker. Only have to look at his goals last year to show that when given chances he can finish. Also the fee will be v small compared to other young english strikers which just makes the potential signing more appealing in my eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARCELONASAINT Posted 21 April, 2015 Share Posted 21 April, 2015 I posted much earlier in the season that i had it on very good authority that we were in for INGS and that Liverpool were also interested and he had a decision to make. I wasn't prepared to say at the time who this had come from other than a family member he is very close to. I have heard nothing since that post and have no idea where INGS will be next season but i will now say that the information came directly from INGS sister who lives here in Southampton. For what it's worth i think he would be a useful addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of Austin, Benteke and Rhodes above are, obviously there's differences in all players games but you're trying to scrape together an argument that doesn't exist. They're all big strong target men who would fit well in Pelle's role, Rhode's slightly less so hence him being a squad player. And yes that would make Pelle a squad player, I said he's not good enough for our starting 11 so I think that should be exactly our aim.
