Dibbs1988 Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 According to a few sources including FTB pro. We are eyeing up Ings from Burnley. I know this has been lurking around for a while but since the loss of Jay Rod a new striker is needed. In my opinion he's a good player. But is he really the sort of level that we need if we want to push on. Tbf to the lad jay took time to bed in and look at him now. ?? Ings has been rather impressive this season !!

EBS1980 Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 I'm sure the only reason people are "linking" him to us is because he is a saints fan. If he was a Chelsea fan i'm sure we wouldn't have even been linked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintNeil90 Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 The only link is the fact he is scoring goals and is from Southampton. I'm suprised fans still suggest him to be honest. He hasnt completed a full season without getting injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasnt completed a full season without getting injured. This Im not even sure that Ings is as good as Jay was when we bought him either. Jay struck me as being more complete and still took time to bed in. Personally I think if Ings is our only striking purchase this summer then we are in a bit of bother as he is nowhere near the level of player we need to push on. Also the way we play we need a man upfront that can play players in, hold the ball up, harry opposition and get in behind. Those players are very expensive and IMO Ings is just a hard working finisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 Wasn't Ings a saints academy boy that we let go for not being good enough? In six seasons I think this is the first time he has scored more than 7 goals in a season. I think I'd rather have Billy Sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WealdSaint Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 I suspect he is concentrating on getting Burnley promoted at the moment. If Burnley get promoted (which seems likey), I would imagine they will offer him a decent new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buctootim Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 I don't know much about Ings - but he's only 21 and having an impressive season. Shearer didn't start hitting the net until he was 20 either. Generally I'd rather we signed the best young talent from the Championship than £13m on imported players who don't want to be here or have come for the cash.

I doubt that would be our rationale if we signed him. The scouts know more than we do. If we sign him, we've seen something in him as we did with Jay. Anyway, he'd cost a lot because Burnley are getting promoted and have no need to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 14 April, 2014 Share Posted 14 April, 2014 Well. He's at least as good as Osvaldo he just doesn't have a sexy name.... Seeing as he has never played in a top league you can't say that. 10m on Ings is a massive gamble. Has shown nothing to hint at being worth that. You have to be careful with Championship goals. There is a reason why Jay Rod is in Eng squads and Jay Bothroyd is playing Thailand, despite the latter scoring a lot of goals in the second tier. Sharp, Austin, Ings, Vokes all good players that that level but huge step up. Look at Rhodes. Scores for fun but doesnt even get in the Scotland starting lineup and goal desperate Prem teams have overlooked him for 3 years because they obviously think he is lacking in the all round game needed for the PL. Would you also pay 10m for Le Fondre? He is more Prem proven than Ings but of course you wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 14 April, 2014 Share Posted 14 April, 2014 Doesn't it all rather depend on what happens with Osvaldo? Juve are more than likely to send him back to us, and then what? As things stand, we have as strikers JRod - injured Lambert - no spring chicken Gallagher - I'm sure that he will come good, but not setting the world on fire Osvaldo - can't see him playing for us again Sharp - can't see him playing for us again, and no idea when he becomes a free agent. And I'm sure that there are some other youngsters So it's a pretty dire situation, and Osvaldo has really let us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 19 April, 2014 Share Posted 19 April, 2014 (edited) He is 21 years old, an England under 21 international and has 20 Championship goals this season. I think you are being very harsh on him. Agreed ! a few (a very few) players take the League by storm as an up-and-coming teenage star. Wayne Rooney was one, so too Trevor Francis (if your memory is long enough) ....but looking at our own goal-scoring legends.....Mick Channon, Alan Shearer and even MLT....made very slow starts to their careers.....and in each case took one to two seasons to even get on the team sheet regularly - let alone score consistantly. James Beattie was a Blackburn reserve when he joined Saints (aged 20), and it took over two seasons before he started to score goals on " a regular basis ". How a player develops depends a lot...... on his new club .....his new manager... and how he adapts to the new environment. There would be a lot of red faces on this site..... if we looked back to see some of the early criticism laid on Jay Rod's first season at SMS, and called him a waste of £7 million. I haven't seen enough of Danny Ings to make a real judgement, but he looked pretty useful in those games I have watched.
