LaptopSaint Posted 7 August, 2021 Posted 7 August, 2021 Not sure why all the bitterness. Danny always put a shift in, he kept us in the division, he scored some crackers, he got two at Fratton, and now he’s moved on. So should we. Looking forward to the Bilbao game and hoping Tino might get some minutes off the bench towards the end. 6
sfc4prem Posted 7 August, 2021 Posted 7 August, 2021 Brilliant player for us. Shame to see him go. Now it's about replacing quality with quality. 2

NorthLondonSFC Posted 7 August, 2021 Posted 7 August, 2021 You’d expect people would be used to our best players leaving, more so the ones who gain a special status among fans. I still have trust issues from the Lallana transfer. If Ings stayed and did another few years on a new contract he could of become a club legend. He didn’t, oh well. I will still remember his time here fondly and should be received well on his return to St Mary’s. His two goals and subsequent knee slide in front of the Fratton End is an iconic saints moment, possibly one of the best we’ve had in a long time. 2

It's part and parcel of football, players come and go. Kane pushing to leave Spurs as well, so it's not just us who gets in these situations. I know there's a lot of bitterness, there always is when a player leaves. ''He was shit anyway'' ''He'll be injured'' ''Past his best'' etc. But let's be honest, this guy single handily kept us up over the last few years so for that reason alone I can't be that bitter towards him - he helped my club for the period he was here and that's all you ask for really. It's up to us now to replace him with a player who will hopefully be sought after in 2 or 3 years, might sound a depressing way to look at it, but that will equal he's been a success and contributed to our success. It's the only way clubs like ours can be sustainable really. 2

Expand You must have me mixed up with someone else. Back in January I said this about Ings, and my opinion about the likelihood of him staying never changed. Quote I wonder how often a player who doesn't want to talk contracts until the end of the season actually ends up signing a new one. Seems to me that saying he won't sign before then is the same as saying he's more likely to leave than not. If he only has a year left, he'll be a cheap deal for anyone that wants him (and there will be plenty that would take a £20m Danny Ings as back-up), with a decent amount of the money saved going towards his signing bonus. Expand Moreover, I don't believe I've ever passed comment on The Athletic, or the reliability of any other media. But aside from that, you're spot on. 1 1

Anyway, it was a shirt the club gave away for free after the sponsor changed and they offered free name, number, badges. No evidence he was off at that stage so went for it on the basis that I might end up framing it one day (like my Le Tissier one).

Restark19 Posted 14 August, 2021 Posted 14 August, 2021 Seen a few people mention that Ings was bitter about being let go all those years ago, seems to ring true. Fantastic player but obviously has a massive chip on his shoulder. Thankfully I think we had his best years and a decent profit. 2
