MOSaint Posted 14 July, 2018 Share Posted 14 July, 2018 What ten million? I think we'd struggle to get better than ings for that price. Maybe a few years ago, but those injuries ruined him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 14 July, 2018 Share Posted 14 July, 2018 Maybe a few years ago, but those injuries ruined him.I doubt we'd buy him if that was our conclusion. Even if he is worse than he was a few seasons ago, we aren't going to get much better for that sort of money. I don't see how we can totally write him off based on his injuries when we don't actually know what the problems are or what his diagnosis is. I'd trust the club to know more about it before bidding.

Just a thought. Sent from my F3311 using TapatalkProbably because our attacking area is where we are weakest and if we were to bring Ings it is will be because we most likely don't consider him a has been and we would think he is significantly better than our other options including Gallagher. He wouldn't be my first choice but I'd give him a go over sticking with what we currently have because we know what we have is not sufficient.

angelman Posted 14 July, 2018 Share Posted 14 July, 2018 What’s cheeky about the bid??? Think it’s just lazy journalism, local lad + we need a forward = bid placed Agree with this. We have been stung with stupid bids recently, and this is another at £20m. I would bid less than £10m if I really wanted him. But if we do want him, why on earth sell JRod????

the saint in winchester Posted 14 July, 2018 Share Posted 14 July, 2018 20 million is ridiculous I would say 10 million with add-ons if he stays fit.... Was going to say 5m plus addons, so if your 10m includes the add-ons, then we are agreed. We wasted 20m on Carillo, we can't afford to do that again.

saint-crinny Posted 15 July, 2018 Share Posted 15 July, 2018 Appreciate reading stories in The Sun won't leave you particularly enlightened but if you do read this one it actually states we aren't prepared to pay £20m and only want to pay half. Carry on going nuts about us 'bidding £20m' if you want though. And the story could well be complete rubbish anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 15 July, 2018 Author Share Posted 15 July, 2018 Ings, being English, is automatically worth £10m by today's standards. We sold Jay for £15m. I'm not saying we should sign him, the the market is how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we should sign him, the the market is how it is. Agree on the valuation of Ings. I know you weren’t saying we should sign him, but given the fact that he has done his ACL on both knees, we may as well go back in for J-Rod as at least there is a known level of performance there. Ings hasn’t played anywhere near the amount of games since his injuries to know he’s still the same player, so it’s a complete punt in the dark IMO.

But he seemingly has similar attributes to what we have. At least Sam offers something different. Granted, Hughes might think he's not good enough, then in that case, fair enough. If we were going for something different than we already have, Crouchie offers more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 15 July, 2018 Share Posted 15 July, 2018 I don't understand why we would want Ings. He doesn't have pace or power. He's not a target man. He's not a creator. We need players with at least one outstanding attribute (preferably several). Signing a player with so little football in the last few years is a huge risk. A loan with an agreed fee should he prove himself is the only deal any club should consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally if we’re looking for a CF, we need what we hoped Carrillo would be. Big, strong and can hold the ball up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted 15 July, 2018 Share Posted 15 July, 2018 I went to school with Ings and used to move in the same social circles to him (though I wouldn't say we were friends, just acquaintances). I spent years listening to him talk about how much he hates Saints because we rejected him. He's a cocky bastard too. The type that will say "Hey look at the funny looking tree next to my brand new car...". He'll also buy a homeless person a meal but make sure everyone knows he's doing it. Don't get me wrong, better than not doing it at all and ultimately he's a good bloke but taking all that into consideration, plus his injury record, I really don't think he'd be a good signing.

larryhagman Posted 15 July, 2018 Share Posted 15 July, 2018 I thin the post by Instant classic is one of the funniest I've seen. Taking into account he's a bit cocky he 'd be a bad signing. Obviously the whole idea behind the gamble would be he's a good goalscorer, we can get him for a good price, but he has injury problems. Anyway I reckon he could be worth a punt for 10 mill, but it's a gamble of course. We need a decent centre forward to cover and challenge Austin, 10 mill isn't much for the premier league nowadays.

The thing with that is we already have a gamble, Charlie Austin. We need someone who is fit and has a decent record of scoring somewhere. I can't take another season of saying, "look how hard Long works, I know we're 2-0 down but he just won us a throw in!" whilst Austin AND Ings watch on from the wheelchair access points.

Saint Albert Posted 16 July, 2018 Share Posted 16 July, 2018 That's not actually what the article says It says that the Ings reports are “wide of the mark, at least at this stage”, so perhaps the door is left open a crack. When discussing Ing’s playing history, it mentions “The 25-year-old went onto play for Cherries and Burnley, before joing Liverpool,” which makes me wonder if the Echo uses a word processor with spell check enabled.
