Bucks Saint Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 Great signing, a proper goalscorer who is young, english, developing and a saints fan. £8m will seal my approval, though would not blame Burnley for seeking a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 He looked pretty good to me in the FA cup-tie at SMS, but is the premiership a step too far. Worth a punt but don't expect him to hit the ground running. I can see Sharp and Osvaldo starting at Anfield:? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratio_decidendi Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 ??? It was an obvious ****** take of those on here who allegedly get their knickers in a twist every time the media doesn't credit us for our role in a former player's development. Never mind the difference between an academy product or someone with a couple of hundred caps plucked out of obscurity and Danny Ings. Whoosh to you, pal. And that explains your misguided attempt to CB Fry how? You should try to not overreact at everything, pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexstar Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 Good player and pretty young. If the club work the same treatment on him as they did with J-Rod he'll be golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaroid Saint Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 Sounds like the perfect fit in every respect. Quite keen to see if Oswaldo is invited back into the squad or not too FF.

Not really, Small Fry, just pointing out what a plum you look in your apples and pears comparison - you've certainly perfectly the halfwit sneer. Anyway, like you, I propose a toast to Danny Ings, a true Burnley legend whose Bournemouth lineage is rivalled only by the handful of seasons he spent at the club. Ingsey, proud scorer of 27 all-conquering league goals for the claret and blue. Hail Burnley - you made him the player he is today.

In your flailing desperation to land one on me you are now taking the exact standpoint of the people only a handful of posts ago you were dismissing as "getting their knickers in a twist". There, there Strawlock. Only Southampton FC ever contribute to a players development. Just us. I mean, Danny might as well spent the last three years in traction, or a coma, for all the good they've done him. Jesus. Thinking about it I effing hate Burnley now. They've, like, ruined Danny Ings.

If he does move, I hope the press reminds us that he did so with a heavy heart. Edited 27 June, 2014 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 It's obvious we're interested, I think now pre-season is almost upon us this will accelerate. Didn't Les Reed say we had no contact from clubs back in May for our players? Exactly. Doesn't mean the club isn't interested, they're probably waiting until our sales have gone through before making an official approach. Ings and Pelle as our 2 striking additions for the summer, to compliment Gallagher and Jay - not bad, more fire power than last season if we're honest (Write Osvaldo off, as I don't think he was ever really here!).

SNSUN Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 Would happy with this signing, not ecstatic, more hopeful, but certainly happy. Assuming we also get Pelle, we're back to a decent compliment of strikers. Will we see another on top of them as JRod remains injured for half a season? It'd be nice. Depends on what we do with Osvaldo and Mayuka I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think any of them are interested in coming to saints Michu is a injury prone mess at the moment, Bony(though I would love him to come here) says he will only leave Swansea for a big club and Hernnandez would probably **** himself with laughter at the thought of playing for a club like saints. As for Rhodes over Ings that's a bit mad really. People need to get a grip we are a mid table PL side any really good players (either already at the club or at other clubs) would rather be elsewhere we won't get top class proven PL players we have to hope our scouting network can source hidden gems from the lower leagues or abroad. Players who will use us as a springboard into the PL. Then we have to get used to the fact that if they turn out to be any good they'll ditch as the first opportunity. We can still have a decent team but we have to take risks on players with potential like Ings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchen_dan Posted 28 June, 2014 Share Posted 28 June, 2014 He's an absolute predator in the box. Something we lacked big style last season.

positivepete Posted 28 June, 2014 Share Posted 28 June, 2014 When do you think RonKo said "Get Danny Ings"? I am not sure he would fit into our system. Burnley play a traditional 442 with a little and large front line. We play one up front, would Danny Ings be able to play as a lone striker? He is a great worker and has scored an impressive amount of goals but I would be surprised if he was for us. Same goes for Jordan Rhodes who some on here bang on about. No way he could play as a lone striker, his movement is non existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
