You've no idea how that striker does over 38 games. As good as Ings? Almost certainly not. Zero goals and relegation, almost certainly not. Shane Long is good for a good four a season, for a kick off. Seriously, some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 20 July, 2020 Share Posted 20 July, 2020 I’ve heard that Ings wants out........ from taking penalties because he gets too nervous. If JWP can’t hit the target then who do we have. Long, Redmond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing in mind we’ve played two up top all season, that means Long, Adams and MO’B have more combined minutes on the pitch than Ings. Between them they’ve scored 7 league goals. Gives a rough but not entirely accurate representation of our other strikers over 38 games. That said, we stayed up two years in a row with that useless plank Austin as our top scorer on 6/7, so I guess it’s plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the saint in winchester Posted 21 July, 2020 Share Posted 21 July, 2020 Yeah, I was one asking for Ings to take penalties. It's not for him. Poor technique - wait to see where the keeper dives and then pass it to him. We need to sort out penalties for next season. Get any of Lambert, Le Tiss and Beatts coaching the side over the summer.

Austerikke Posted 21 July, 2020 Share Posted 21 July, 2020 for Southampton he might be invaluable, for the "real" market he is IMHO worth max. 55 mill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think if we're offered £60M + then Goa would sell, same with Hojberg and £25M. In theory we've got plenty of players on loan ready to come back. Bye Ings and Hojberg, hello Harrison Reed and Guido Carillo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s a bit on the pessimistic side, after all we signed Adams this season as a replacement for Austin. Reed you could well be right about but you’d be mentally ill to replace Ings with Carrillo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 31 July, 2020 Share Posted 31 July, 2020 (edited) Wolves are possibly selling 29 year old Raul Jimenez for £72m! https://as.com/futbol/2020/07/30/internacional/1596126691_516444.html?id_externo_rsoc=CM_ES_FB Ings is younger and scored more goals in not as many PL games this season.

Stu_Saint Posted 9 August, 2020 Share Posted 9 August, 2020 With Adams and Obafemi you would like to think they have the potential to score 15 goals each a season but they aren't a 20+ goal strikers. We need to keep Ings but got to be £75mill + in today's market, I would like us to go after Ollie Watkins from Brentford maybe loan him back for a season but he could easily fit into the plans as has pace and works hard and can score although will come at a price.

Saints aren't going to beat a host of other Premier League clubs and sign Watkins for circa £20m only to loan him back to the Championship. That is unrealistic and nonsensical.

If his form since the restart is more than just a purple patch and that of a player that is now fully adapted, then Adams is capable of 15+ goals over a season. No guarantee Watkins will perform at this level either, or at least perform better than Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda get what you're saying, there is a huge reliance on Ings and a long-term injury to him and our season is pretty much in tatters. I hope Adams form wasn't just a purple patch, but there are still elements of his game he needs to improve on. But you certainly wouldn't loan Watkins back, if he was an unproven/young player from L1/L2 - maybe, but this is a guy ready for the PL...he'd be straight in most bottom half teams squads.

I still don t think it was necessary to extend long s contract. That basically prevents us from buying another striker in the next few years unless Obafemi or Adams leave.

Matthew Le God Posted 10 August, 2020 Share Posted 10 August, 2020 27 minutes ago, adriansfc said: Not sure how good he is. Maybe I only saw him during Brentford's wobble. But we had someone who has done it in that league and now had an excellent month in the premier league. We clearly saw long term potential in Adams and want to persist with him, even if fans give up really easily. We have 2 really good strikers to start and 2 back up, we won't be signing any more will we. Plus there's always the option of playing Redmond up front and starting Djenpo. I'd like to see that some games, think he could partner Adams or Ings well. Big changes seem daft when we have such a set way of playing and it's getting results. Only starting change I'd expect is Salisu. Romeu will probably start the season and maybe Reed pushing for his place. I wasn't questioning if Watkins was good enough or not. My point was that a club like Saints isn't going to sign a player for circa £20m and then loan him straight back out. We tend to wait until they fail here first before we loan them out! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
