badgerx16 Posted 1 September, 2018 Share Posted 1 September, 2018 Underwhelming signing, but how much would it actually take for a goal scorer to be an improvement over Carillo & Long ? 2 goals. That's all we ask for. So far so good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on him. He looks sharp and hungry, and he couldn't be any less effective than Rashford/Welbeck IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 6 September, 2018 Share Posted 6 September, 2018 Good on him. He looks sharp and hungry, and he couldn't be any less effective than Rashford/Welbeck IMO. If he's fit & playing, I see no reason why he can't get involved. Welbeck (21 mins) & Lallana (3 mins) both called up after minimal Premier League minutes.

tajjuk Posted 6 September, 2018 Share Posted 6 September, 2018 Better to pick regular scoring starters than bit part players. Rashford should be getting more game time at Utd so I more understand picking him, plus he's young and could be very important to England's future, but he shouldn't be picking someone like Wellbeck who consistently fails to get game time and is approaching 28 and is very unlikely to be getting better.

norwaysaint Posted 6 September, 2018 Share Posted 6 September, 2018 Somebody (hypochondriac or duckhunter or someone?) was going on the other day about all the people who said Ings wasn't good enough. I've really searched this thread and can only find people concerned about his fitness. His quality seems to have been widely agreed on. Good to see everyone in agreement about that. Hope things keep going well for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 6 September, 2018 Share Posted 6 September, 2018 (edited) So far his goals have cost Saints $10M a piece. I wonder how many he needs before we start saying "bargain of the season"? edit: Yes I realize he is on loan right now and I'm not taking wages into consideration but just trying to quantify it somehow.

Saint Albert Posted 10 November, 2018 Share Posted 10 November, 2018 If he was injured in the warm up, why on God’s earth was he starting? Absolutely ridiculous. I’m in two minds about it because he set up Gabbiadini for the goal. Still, seems a little reckless. Hopefully it’s just a tweak and nothing more serious.

Heisenberg Posted 11 December, 2018 Share Posted 11 December, 2018 The only guarantee in life : Death. Taxes and Austin n Ings picking up lots more injuries £20m is absolutely mental, you've also got his c£3.5m a year wages so an investment of £34-35m on a guy that's played just a few games in 3-4 years.

ericofarabia Posted 12 December, 2018 Share Posted 12 December, 2018 Is the loan deal with Liverpool a 100% that we have to buy him at the end of the season arrangement?

Seemed like it at the time, though from memory the daily echo didn’t mention it as a perm transfer. Would expect there to be clauses if he gets injured, possibly more of a first refusal than tied in to 100% buying him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would expect there to be clauses if he gets injured, possibly more of a first refusal than tied in to 100% buying him. I thought it was a loan leading to a guaranteed purchase, although you would hope that there was such get out clause built in but that would have been most likely built around his previous injury. Trouble is we basically "ran the engine with no oil in the sump", he picked up the current injury during a matchday warm up. Yet regardless of technically being someone elses property, instead of looking after it we pretty much abused it so you could pretty much apply "Nice to touch - Nice to hold - If you break it consider it Sold!".

It was strange, but there were suggestions that cash flow didn't allow immediate purchase. Sent from my Pixel using TapatalkI thought the suggestion was that it was easier/quicker for the club to get a last minute loan deal over the line with the transfer window closing, rather than haggle over the staggered payments and various particulars required to get a permanent deal signed off for all parties. Either way, a non-negotiable commitment to make the transfer permanent at the end of the season, for a player with four major knee injuries under his belt who has barely played in two years, sounds like the kind of negligent swivel-eyed madness that is Les Reed's super power. We could be a Championship club, desperately trying to cut costs, while being forced to pay £20m on a player setting up residence in the treatment room.

Yes, he is the best goal scorer we've got, even if he is going to miss a lot of games through injury. The reason we got our only proven goal scorers, Austin and Ings, was because they were injury-prone. If they hadn't been, we couldn't have afforded them and other clubs would have wanted them so they wouldn't have come here anyway. It means in both cases though, as we are already discovering with Austin, that their careers are not going to last as long as those of less injury-prone players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not forgetting Charlie George. Once you hear the words 'knee problems' associated with a player, it never ends well. On balance, though, perhaps it is better to have them here scoring goals for a few games than some waste of space, who never scores, playing every week. The alternative is to have a scouting and recruitment team and/or manager good enough to spot up and coming players from lower leagues both here and abroad, like Lambert and Mane.

Nordic Saint Posted 16 December, 2018 Share Posted 16 December, 2018 He is a top class goal scorer. Ings and Redmond really caused problems for Arsenal today. Redmond obviously had to go off injured but I was surprised Ings was subbed because, although he took a knock too, he still looked full of running. But, Ralph knew what he was doing as Long and Austin came on and conjured up the winner. Every player just looked so much better than they've looked all season. Ings was good when he first arrived but today he looked even better than Arsenal's £60 million striker, Aubameyang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
