The only time I ever got MOTM in my works team was when they stuck me between the sticks when our goalie didn't turn up. Managed to save one of the shots with my face. I went along on a Sunday morning to watch a friend and got roped in to running the line. I gave a goal against my friend's team when the ball went over the line in a goalmouth scramble and the ref was unsighted. There was a massive shout of appeal and they all looked at me. I think everybody was a bit surprised when I pointed to the centre circle. My only ever MOTM! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted 3 August, 2020 Share Posted 3 August, 2020 Mate, you want to try reffing a game after you've volunteered after straining a hammy warming-up. Not sure who abused me most: my team or the opposition. I still recall a classic: a burly ex-rugby player (bit like me at the time) cop from my team who basically ran over a small guy on the ball from behind (pretty much elbowed him out of the way). I called a free kick against him (miles from goal so no threat) and got an absolute mouthful that I've never forgotten. One of the things I like about rugby is that there is very little ref abuse. I love football, but I hate this side of it. I don't know how some of the refs in the PL can take it. Anyway, I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't sign a new contract by next summer, someone will get a bargain similar to the Hojbjerg transfer. Still he seems to love being here and he's fit as a fiddle now so I hope we can get this done soon. Bertrand's contract too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Keef Posted 14 September, 2020 Share Posted 14 September, 2020 BBC Sports page reporting Tottenham's interest in Ings this morning. What a surprise! Unsettle the very player who sank them last time with a "wonder goal", just a week before we play them again. Is that the best they can do? To be honest though, Kane is looking a shadow of the player he was, including those recent England performances. I wonder if he's carrying an injury and Spurs know it........hoping one of the big clubs from Europe come in for him, thereby eyeing up Ings as a replacement. All conjecture of course, me thinking aloud and just throwing it out there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 14 September, 2020 Share Posted 14 September, 2020 Surely Danny will stay as long as we are a successful team. If we have a good season and genuinely challenge for Europe then there is no reason why a local lad who has supported the club since he was a toddler would want to leave. Yes he might get more money at a big club but it's not all about money, in any case Saints no doubt would make it attractive enough for him to stay here without making a song and dance about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Bridge was a local lad who had supported Saints since he was a toddler. Saints had just qualified for Europe with a cup final and a top 8 finish, yet he left.

Dusic Posted 14 September, 2020 Share Posted 14 September, 2020 Only way to stop speculation is to get him signed to a new deal, otherwise we will have to sell next summer should the demand be there. Should think he would be opwn to it if we start the season well and show improvement. He will have an eye on the Euros so knows he needs to be playing regularly, and also scoring.

saintquin Posted 14 September, 2020 Share Posted 14 September, 2020 Would he want to go there to be behind Kane & Son. Wouldn't think they'd play all three together.

HarvSFC Posted 14 September, 2020 Share Posted 14 September, 2020 But, if Ings did want to go then you would hope that he would sign a new contract to at least ensure we got his true value. You do see some players do this, as we could lose 10s of millions if he was to go into the final year of his contract. If he goes on the cheap then he would be near impossible to replace, harder than if we did get the £50m+. Especially, if we still have Gao, as the Ings money would have to be spread over three players as we can only spend what we generate from player sales.

SKD Posted 15 September, 2020 Share Posted 15 September, 2020 There would be no better time to sell him. His stock is currently at its highest, there is no way he’ll replicate last season and with another year down on his contract, his value will also decrease. there is also potentially some value in the market with clubs struggling financially £50-£60m could go a long way to improving our overall squad. The trouble is, Tottenham won’t offer anything near to what it’ll take to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were in the same position as Wolves a few years back, even closer to the Champions League than they were, there was always the threat that our best players would still leave for Tottenham and even Everton, and some did. Matt Doherty, who was key in the Wolves set-up in the wing-back role has also just made the same move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren2 Posted 16 September, 2020 Share Posted 16 September, 2020 Pretty sure this is just agent leaks to help bargaining power during talks.

Next summer, if he were to make it clear he didn't want to sign a new one and wasn't as high profile performance wise then it would probably drop to £15-20m if we were lucky given his age. Lets hope he signs a new deal fairly soon because it won't end well otherwise (and there are probably no adequate replacements that will be available for our £12m - £15m price range!)

TWar Posted 17 September, 2020 Share Posted 17 September, 2020 Sounds like they inquired and we said "not for sale". This has been reiterated by Tom Barclay. Could cause issues next summer but I think I'd rather us lose out on ~20m on transfer fee and sell him cheaper and not risk going in to a season without him personally. Plus I think we can convince him to stay, especially given most sources reckon we will likely have a take over in the next year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 17 September, 2020 Share Posted 17 September, 2020 Danny has been already on the books of a VERY BIG top 6 club, indeed the PL champions no less but it didn't suit him to be on their bench so he left. Not many people would have had the strength of character to do that. I doubt he would even contemplate leaving us to join a second rate outfit like Spurs after his top level exposure and experiences. He seems very hungry for week-in week-out football not just the odd cameo at the whim of a half-crazed crackpot manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 17 September, 2020 Share Posted 17 September, 2020 Yeah, the contract situation will dictate everything.
