Perhaps the news that Liverpool are about to launch a bid for Benteke will turn him back our way.

I just thought I'd post this here to show how much I hate Liverpool fans:

Have our committee really sat down and decided that Ings, Milner and Benteke are the players to take us back to the CL and beyond...


I'd fucking kill for all 3 of them, and we finished above them.

Fools. There's a very real chance had they brought in that lot instead of the one they did last summer that they'd be in top four and looking to play in the CL yet again.

Instead, they brought in what they did, spent more than we did after Rodgers' snidey little comment about winning the title after such expenditure, and finished below us and on eight less points than we earned last season. Quality entertainment.

Liverpool seems a silly move if the rumours about Benteke are true. When Sturridge is back will be third choice.

Let's see but seems we are in there trying!

He's under 24, therefore even though he's out of contract, we have to agree a fee with Burnley, otherwise it goes to a tribunal to decide a fee. The £12m (if true), may also involve agent and signing on fees for Ings and his representatives, and if recent ITK from JJ is correct and we looked to be losing the race, the huge bid (for an out of contract player), maybe a last-ditch attempt to blow a near-completed deal with a rival out of the water (i.e. Liverpool?)

It means nothing but when asked "Ings or Austin" the other day Alan Shearer immediately said Ings. He seems to rate him and I doubt there is any better qualified to judge.

Would it be Ings who got to decide then or would it be Burnely and who they accepted bids from?

They're deluded. One outstanding season carried by Suarez and they think they're back up there competing with Man Utd, Chelsea, City and Arsenal. The fact is that those clubs have budgets that dwarf Liverpool's and their spending last summer was, much like ours after Bale left, purely down to receiving such a huge transfer fee.

I wish our transfer committee had decided on Benteke instead of Soldado, Milner instead of Paulinho.

Ings can decide but if Burnley had accepted a higher bid from another club, it would go to a tribunal. The tribunal may be influenced by the higher bid and it may cause the club Ings had decided on to pull the plug on the deal if it got too expensive.

Hence my point in that it is worth smashing in a huge bid for a young out of contract player, if a rival deal is far down the line, as could be enough to blow it out of the water.

There is something about Ings. When I first saw him I thought "he's a pain in the arse" in the sense that he was working his buns off and constantly pressing the defenders. He reminds me a little of Tevez. He's tigerish, adaptable, good technically and has a good attitude. Not a world beater, but you never know what a better coach might bring out in him.

Is he worth 12 mill is the question? Contract or not. If so get him

12mil??? Talksport mentioned we were bidding 6mil which sounds more plausible as hes out of contract. In any case ive written this one of after JJs update yesterday, maybe circumstances change and we can convince him but im not getting my hopes up.

He reminds me of a young, raw, Robbie Keane. There is something about him. He is a pain in the ar** and him and Kane upfront could be a dumbed down English version of Berbatov and Keane.

Reckon we have bid but not quite at that price will be the true story. Levy wouldn't start so high. 9-10 mill
