saintwbu Posted 5 August, 2021 Share Posted 5 August, 2021 It’s a good move from Villa too, put big money down to wrap it up early, cos I think the longer it went on, the more likely he was to become the backup choice of a bigger club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems fine to me, Ralph seems a very loyal guy, maybe he took the refusal to sign a bit personally, thinking that he had improved Danny a lot and that he owed him a little bit of loyalty back, so took his wanting to leave a bit personally.

I've not checked but Ings must have missed about 1/4 of our games at least last season , Ralph may be pleased to twist , get some money and see who we can get in.

Micky Posted 5 August, 2021 Share Posted 5 August, 2021 Called this one weeks ago. It was evident from the beginning that he was not intending to stay, the new contract had been in place for some time, yet he refused to sign it. Overall though, happy with the decision the club had made, made the best of a bad situation. I will have ultimate respect for the first player, looking for a move, to come out and say 'I'll be going to the club that pays me the most wages'. Cut the bullshit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexLaw76 Posted 5 August, 2021 Share Posted 5 August, 2021 (edited) Good money for a player who does not want to be here, 29 and in the last year of his deal. Now the issue with it. He was by far our best striker and one of, if not the best player we had. Genuine star quality. Tragic that we are not moving as quick as Villa to secure his replacement, who will no doubt not be as good as Ings. Our defence is terrible and Ralph style means we have to score at least 2 goals to get points (usually). We are in deep trouble this season, we all know it. On another note, Villa lose Grealish and look how they are spending the money. We certainly did not buy an 'Ings' when we sold Virgil. Also, everyone keeps saying we are skint. When have we not been? when have we not had 'excuses' to be prudent. Or will there be greater spending next summer? We all know the answer.

Vila have been proactive, signed 3 good players and have a better squad now than when Grealish goes. We on the other had are reportedly trying to find cheap alternatives rather than pay for the player we have been linked with for months. like you say we’ve been skint since 2014, always had to sell to buy, always had to be careful, even when we were making record profits year after year we still had reasons why we had to be prudent. With the well run club mantra repeated over and over again. yet despite this and shifting most of the deadwood we appear to be more skint than ever.
