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. I don't think we would say not for sale right now, unless its just to drive the price up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get a decent pay rise/extension off the back of this and then proceed to score 12-14 goals a season for the next three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 19 September, 2020 Share Posted 19 September, 2020 If he has another blinder, we’ll have a decent enough season and probably have a bidding war of sorts next summer. If he is average or has injury issues, I can’t see there being that much interest in a 29 year old from bigger clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvSFC Posted 19 September, 2020 Share Posted 19 September, 2020 Yeah, if he has another season like the last one then the bigger and better than Tottenham sides will come in. I would not even rule out Liverpool if he remains injury free. We already know Klopp's a huge fan and if Firmino has a similar season to his last, then they will start looking for a replacement again, as they were heavily linked with Werner before Chelsea came in.

Saint Garrett Posted 19 October, 2020 Share Posted 19 October, 2020 This is the article for those without a sub... Quote England striker Danny Ings looks set to end speculation over his future and hand Southampton a massive boost, with the 28-year-old close to agreeing a new long-term contract at St Mary’s. Ings has scored five goals in eight games for club and country this season and was subject to a bid from Tottenham during the recent transfer window. But Southampton had no wish to sell their key player, with manager Ralph Hasenhuttl stating that Ings had “zero interest” in leaving the south coast. That left Saints optimistic they would achieve the desired outcome and they are now increasingly confident the former Burnley and Liverpool forward will extend a three-year deal he signed in 2019. Talks continue over details such as the duration of the fresh terms and a possible release clause. Ings has flourished since his loan move from Liverpool was made permanent. He registered 22 Premier League goals last season — one shy of Golden Boot winner Jamie Vardy — and has started the new campaign where he left off. Ings has already found the net four times in five league outings, including Saturday’s dramatic 3-3 draw at Chelsea. He has also been named in Gareth Southgate’s last two England squads, scoring his first international goal with an acrobatic overhead kick in a 3-0 victory over Wales at Wembley. This bit is slightly worrying, but as long as it's large, then I think it's ok... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted 19 October, 2020 Share Posted 19 October, 2020 Release clause is bad. Hoped he would now look to end his career here as a Southampton lad. Someone would surely look to activate it, if his scoring form continues. Goals are most definitely the hardest thing to replace in football, and I don't back us in being able to replace him whatever the fee we receive. See us with the VvD money and were that went and also Spurs with the Bale money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsaint Posted 19 October, 2020 Share Posted 19 October, 2020 Release clause means nothing, even if there wasn’t one we’d still have a figure we’d let him go for, every player has a price and this is Saints we’re talking about so you can always rely on us to bend over when another club comes calling.

Only worry for me is if it’s set too low. If his market price is, say, £60m but the release clause is £40m you’ve set yourself up for a load of clubs triggering it. If there is a release clause set it at £100m. And for twice that amount, you can buy the whole club FFS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly we wouldn’t agree to anything as low as £40m and Ings wouldn’t agree to anything as high as £100m. £60m is probably about right for a player like him.

qwertyell Posted 20 October, 2020 Share Posted 20 October, 2020 £60m is fine. There's only a few clubs who would pay that for a 29 year old with dodgy knees, and frankly they'd be the clubs we'd be powerless to hold off if they were interested regardless of a release clause. At least this way, they know the price, we don't have to negotiate (not our strength) and we can make plans for, say, signing three new starters (in the price range we normally operate in). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
