John D Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Danny effing *()!!@** Ings! What can he possibly bring to us that helps in any way, more useless than Long & Austin. We have become really pathetic low life in the transfer windows these days. As the Sage once said "Cheer up, things could be a lot worse!" Nobody took him seriously but he was right. They just got a whole lot worse. We have enough dead wood already. How the **** does a loan signing make it worse? If it doesn't work out we send him back!!

saintwbu Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Happy knowing it’s a loan. Would’ve been absolutely embarrassed knowing we’d spent £20mil as was rumoured in recent weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo1976 Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Heard Ings is on the medical table and no it’s not for his medical but the fact he stubbed his toe in our bloody staplewood car park.

angelman Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Well put it this way, if we have Austin and Ings, then we are more likely to have one of them for the whole season. Of course, both could breakdown at the same time. Onwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed an absolute shocker in carillo and have effectively replaced him with someone that is likely to be better. It's a positive development undoubtedly and will give us another option.

Jimmy_D Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 If it's a loan with an obligation to buy as suggested, I reckon it's probably so the fee goes onto next season's bill for FFP reasons.

Imagine we'll hope to ship out Forster and Carrillo by then for signings next season. It's seems more clear by the day that FFP is totally holding us back right now (with all these huge contracts). I don't believe we've not got any money to spend, we just aren't allowed to. That's why FFP has always been an utter farce in my opinion. What is fair about not letting the 'smaller' teams strengthen their squads? How is that levelling the playing fields? The clubs with money can just happily fliter cash away anyway, breach FFP and then pay - to them - the tiny fine. Joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyNumber7 Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 I'm no big fan of Ings but on a loan deal it is low risk and he gives us another option so I don't see what the problem is. Liverpool wanted £20m for him so have obviously realised their only hope was to loan him out, hence why it's last minute. Some people on here are only happy if they are whinging like an entitled six year old. Let's give Ings a chance and see what he can do, he can't be any worse than Long!

S-Clarke Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 And look how awful most of our big money signings have been. Sometimes people get more excited when they see £25m/30m etc. We have been shocking at our 'record deals'. (Carrillo, Boufal, Gaston...) Maybe we should rename it to - ''Southampton Sign Danellie Inges for £30m" If he stays fit, he's a complete improvement to us. The problem I have is 'if', and also why it's all last minuite.com. Maybe as someone suggested - Liverpool have been playing games and have shelved their big asking price at the last min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Albert Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 I imagine (but do not know) that there was interest in Ings throughout the summer, but nothing happened because of Liverpool’s well-publicized and completely unrealistic £20M price tag. The reason it got left so late is because no one would buy at the price, allowing Saints to sneak in with a late loan bid. Liverpool overplayed their hand, and Saints did OK if it is a loan move with an option to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 how are everton and west ham able to sign god knows how many players then you have wolves along with Fulham..... They don't have players on huge wages. I think that's what's holding us down. People like Forster, Prowse, Austin being paid bucket loads. These new sides that come up will have quite modest wage bills in all respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine we'll hope to ship out Forster and Carrillo by then for signings next season. I'd say we're pretty much stuck with them for the rest of their contracts; probably loaned out with Saints paying a chunk of their wages. Underwhelmed by Ings. With the thousand gazzilion million pound TV deal, could we really not find a striker somewhere in the world better than Danny 'glass knees' Ings?!

Saint Albert Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 This, and as none of us are paying for it personally I am not sure what the problem is. If the club throws away money on useless things (like Carrillo) it impacts their financial ability to improve the squad in future windows, so the price tag does have long term importance.
