VectisSaint Posted 13 July, 2021 Share Posted 13 July, 2021 On Google News there are 3 separate reports that he is signing for Man City, Spuds and West Ham. Given he was said to have turned down the latter two, what are we supposed to believe. probably that he is going nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth remembering where Ings came from. He had his career at CL and PL champions Liverpool ruined by injuries, to make matters worse his role in that team was played by Firmino who Ings will likely consider someone whose place he could have taken. He will have been watching them win the CL and PL and think that, if not for injuries, it could have been him instead of Firmino. It will have left a sour taste and he is likely hoping one of the PL/CL competing clubs give him another chance to fix what the injuries took from him. Spurs aren't in a position to offer that, they probably aren't even qualifying for the CL anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted 13 July, 2021 Share Posted 13 July, 2021 Not sure if its been said. But my translation of all this is (that if it is tottenham), this is just levy trying to get it done early and for cheap, before they sell kane and everyone knows that they're loaded. Hoping we don't fall for it and get a good price. If its Tottenham i think we should be especially nobbish and push for £30m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him a deadline and if he doesnt sign withdraw the offer. His old contract will still be valid for a season and the club will sav some money. He will stil have to give his all to ge others to keep their interest once his contract runs down. Im tired of the players power Not just that. Ings has one last chance at a world cup. He will play his arse off next season if he wants a move and a world cup space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our striking options next season are Adams, Walcott, Redmond, Tella and only one other striker like Armstrong I'd be seriously worried about our survival chances, especially as Theo and the Nathans are really AMs. That's of course if we ship out Long, N'Lundulu and Obafemi or we'll be in even worse shape! (Thought that's perhaps harsh on Obafemi who I think would be the one worth keeping as back up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish it would get sorted now tbh as much as I'd love him to stay and sign he isn't going to, so let's get him gone at the right price (which could be difficult with the high Liverpool sell on clause) so it's not the one big distraction of the new season that disrupts everything.

igsey Posted 14 July, 2021 Share Posted 14 July, 2021 Really wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at City, Aguero has gone on a free and looks like Jesus is on his way out too, they're clearly freeing up space for Kane or Haaland but they might have to wait another year for either of those - Kane still has 3 years left on his contract and Levy's not going to sell unless it's silly money, Haaland has a release clause that kicks in next summer.

At his age, and to be able to put himself in the window for the next World Cup, he needs regular game time. With the best will in the world, he isn't going to get that at City, or for that matter at any of the top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 15 July, 2021 Share Posted 15 July, 2021 I don’t get this back up striker business. If you had been injured as much as Ings and gone so long without playing like he did at Liverpool wouldn’t you want to be somewhere where you are playing as much as possible? You are a long time retired, make the most of every chance you get to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 15 July, 2021 Share Posted 15 July, 2021 Ings will be very well aware of his own frailty and therefore longevity in the game so is looking for a much bigger pay day than we can offer to secure his retirement should it come early. Money may matter to him far more than game time right now. On the flip side it will be an expensive gamble by any club that takes him on which inevitably will limit the number of suitors.
