Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 I just did a google search to see if I could find anything. There was a breaking news link that said 'Danny Ings to stay at Liverpool' but when I clicked on it there was nothing there and now I can't find the link???

wild-saint Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 I'm far from sure about this. There's a huge question over whether he can keep fit, a bigger one over whether he can be anything like his old self and I can't help wondering if this isn't just adding another at the same level as Austin or Long. Think I'd have preferred giving Gallagher a chance. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk You think Austin and long are at the same level, really?

shurlock Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 An obligation to buy generally means they will buy him next season instead of this season. Atleast in Italy it's done generally if they don't have funds this season, so will guarantee to buy him using next season funds. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Some scousers are also interpreting obligation to buy in this way which would put a very different spin on the deal and whether it’s good or not.

Lighthouse Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 I think he's only been at Liverpool 3 years rather than 8, and 3 goals in 14 games is nearly a goal every three games..... are you sure Sorry, finger trouble. 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shroppie Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 And they are both strikers whose primary role is to hit the back of the ****ing net. Long couldn’t hit a barn door. No contest.The problem is that Charlie doesn't hold the ball up - it rarely sticks, so doesn't bring others into play, has no pace and lacks movement. He does nothing by way of pressing. I'll accept that if you put it on a plate for him, there's a good chance he'll score. Long has been a good finisher in the past and I can see him doing far better this season - his confidence was shot last season and yes, he was woeful. But he works hard, defends from the front, presses, has pace to worry the opposition, win lost causes and hold the ball.

westmidlandsaint Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 As someone that’s been crying out got a striker (yes I’d have preferred Welbeck or Alcacer) i’ve got to say I’m happy with Ings, being he’s local and supposedly a Saints fan he might give it his all for the shirt. At the end of the day he’ll score more than Long. Get behind Saints fans and lets seen what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 I don't mind this deal at all. Too many on here have delusions of grandeur. We're Saints not Chelsea or Spurs or whatever.

Saint Benali Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Pathetic if true. In his day he was decent but in the last three years he has been crippled and dome **** all. Feel really sorry for our youngsters ie Gallagher that we would rather take on someone who has hardly played and is likely to be injured as soon as he tries and puts his socks then give them a chance.

S-Clarke Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Doesn't sound like a try before you buy, this is all but a permanent deal by the sounds of it. I've seen it mooted that it's a £20m deal, £4-5m paid now in a loan fee - so £15m left to pay next summer. Says he's already agreed a contract to 2022 which will become active next summer.
