SNSUN Posted 4 January, 2020 Share Posted 4 January, 2020 I wouldn't sell him for anything as right now a goalscoring striker is the difference between safety and relegation unless Adams or someone steps up. But there's also his injury record to look at. He seems as fit as ever, but how Saints-like would it be if he got an England call up then got crocked for the season. I wonder if £50-60 million would make the board's heads turn? Hope not, especially as he's a local lad and seems to want to do what's best for the club.

I wouldn't even consider cashing in now, although if he maintains this form and goalscoring rate he may fancy another opportunity at a "big 6" club come the summer. Seem to recall that Liverpool inserted a sell on clause when they offloaded him. Another great piece of business by Bunsen the uber cretin.

Reed bought a potentially 20 goal a season striker for just £20m. The sell on clause means we effectively pay a bit more if Ings is a success and gets a big transfer, but save our money if injuries get to him or if he wasn't a success, or if he stays with us!

The sell on clause means we effectively pay a bit more if Ings is a success and gets a big transfer, but save our money if injuries get to him or if he wasn't a success, or if he stays with us! At the moment the Ings move looks a success, but that doesn't alter the terms or timing of it. We contracted to buy a player with a history of injury at the end of the season no matter how he performed or whether he stayed fit. We didn't know if we were buying a 20 games a season player, never mind his goalscoring. That remains a ludicrous bit of business given our resources. Perhaps leaving it to the last day or so of the transfer window enabled Liverpool to add this additional term knowing our desperation at the time. Lets hope he stays injury free, so then even the Teflon coated Reed can bask in the reflected glory of it.

Ex Lion Tamer Posted 4 January, 2020 Share Posted 4 January, 2020 There's plenty to criticise Reed for but this isn't one of them. Do you think that Liverpool wouldn't have increased the asking price if the sell on clause was removed? The whole point of the clause is it allows the payment to scale up and down depending on how successful the player is. Very wise given how injury prone Ings is/was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next England games aren't until the end of March, long way to go until then, if Ings is still on form and banging them in he'll deserve a call up and hopefully we'll have enough points by then and virtually safe. Would be good for him to get in the squad and keep his place for the Euros, winning them on home soil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 15 January, 2020 Share Posted 15 January, 2020 Would be an absolute joke if true. But not a shock Yeh it would, Greenwood is a good prospect but nothing more than that, until recently he barely had more than a couple of senior goals. Vardy is retired and Rashford doesn't work as a no.9 and that would leave Ings as clearly the most suitable replacement for Kane right now, but its probably not going to happen. I suspect Southgate will play Rashford through the middle and have Sancho and Sterling either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we probably all know that Ings won't be going. Seemed to recall the same happened when Beattie - knocked in over 23 and was only behind Henry (24) and van Nistelroy (25) in the goal scoring tables. That was 2002/2003. April 2003: England 2-0 Turkey and Beattie not even in the squad. He did get a full game in the Euro qualifiers vs Lichtenstein in Sept 2003 playing out on the left. Apart from that, it was a few minutes in friendlies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 16 January, 2020 Share Posted 16 January, 2020 The problem Gareth has with taking Ings to the Euros is the same concern we have every week... when is his next injury coming from? He seems fitter than ever but we're all thinking it. Aside from that I think he'd be a decent choice for England - he's quick, hard working, a natural goalscorer and was deemed good enough to play for Liverpool. (And it's not like he failed there, just never got fit enough.) Mason Greenwood is raw, look at the mistake Gareth made in selecting Dominic Solanke. If Ings does finish the season on 20+ goals, I think he'll go as 4th choice or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 28 July, 2020 Share Posted 28 July, 2020 After searching through I apparently didn't post in this thread, but i'll openly admit that I thought the obligation to buy for £20million was crazy at the time given his injury record, especially when he got injured a couple of times throughout the season for us. I also didn't realise just how good he was, thinking he was at best a 15 goal a season striker. He has taken it to another level this season though, he looks so much fitter, stronger, sharper, quicker to get the ball onto his right foot to get the shot away. The amount of times i've watched a game and he just doesn't seem to ever give the ball away is incredible. Hopefully we can keep him for the next 4 or 5 years and get 20 goals a season out of him, and he'll go down as a club legend for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, this time last year I was thinking it was £20m that weren't very well spent. Not just the injuries but he only scored 4 non-penalty goals in 1668 minutes in the league. To put it into perspective, Adams this season also only has 4 but in 1107 minutes. Ings may well be the most improved player in the league, it is easy to forget that he wasn't particularly impressive last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 2 August, 2020 Share Posted 2 August, 2020 (edited) No buy-back clause for Liverpool with Danny Ings: Liverpool did not insert a buy-back clause when Danny Ings completed his permanent move to Southampton a year ago. Ings was the Premier League’s second highest scorer last season, with 25 in all competitions, to put himself back in contention for a place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad. The 28-year-old has two seasons left on his contract at St Mary’s which will be noted by rivals clubs. Liverpool ended up with four players current or former players in the top six 2019-20 goalscorers, with Ings joined by Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Raheem Sterling.
