Danny Ings

[spurs9]

I believe they need to present a reasonable offer, officially (on writing), to Ings, and him to reject it. Newcastle didn't receive compensation for Gosling in the summer, as he only had verbal talks with the club.

Gosling is 24, that is why Newcastle didn't get compensation.

 

[DaSpurs]

Might not be as much of a difference between what we are willing to pay in Jan and the compensation Burnley will get at the end of his contract. When we wanted Fryers from Utd, he we used standard to get him, as it was looking like we would have to pay 3.5m in compo, so it could easily be 5m compo for Ings and for the sake of 2-3m difference, it's worth the risk keeping him.

Is it really that much?! If so, you're absolutely right it'd be worth the risk.

Yes, I actually like that compensation rule the FA have put in place and actually reckon they should have another rule that entitles the club to compensation if the player is 24 or over but only ever owned by that selling club.

Ha well fuck that rule, as it means the only chance we'd have is if Ings himself pushes for the move, which I doubt.

He wouldn't, he could still leave when his contract is out, it just means the club losing the player gets a decent fee.

 

[St José Dominguez]

Only way we're getting him is by giving them a player in exchange. It would be utter madness from their part selling him now. Problem is I can't see who we have that'd go there plus for them they still would need to replace him. For them it'd be better letting him run down contract and possibly stay up.

Even by getting a player or buying a replacement, there it is unlikely they will hit the ground running and no guarentee they could fit the managers system and adapt to his team mates straight away. By the time the new player has adapted it could be too late. Much too bigger risk IMO.

Do they like Power Horse Energy Drink in Burnley?

Sorry, I mean for this January. That reduction of risk says to me the only chance we'd have of signing him this month, is if Ings himself pushes for it, which I rather doubt given his quotes.

I don't see it as an option at all for Jan, it doesn't make sense for Burnley or Ings.

Just out of interest, if we bought him ,would people expect him to be a starter and if so in what position? Personally i would rather not drop any of Chadli, Kane, Eriksen or Lamela to accommodate him. As a back up, rotation option sure, but i'm not sure he would be happy with that role. Maybe he would, but he needs to play as much as possible if he is going to develop.

Start him as a sub, allow him to run at tired defenses late in games. Then, dependent upon form, injuries, etc., he would battle with Chadli for the LWF/LAM position, and be cover for Kane in the no. 9 spot.

He would be back up, but he can play Striker, LWF or RWF, so he would still get a lot of games.

Okay, i agree that he would be a useful rotation option but i was a little concerned people were viewing him as an immediate starter. Personally i would rather we concentrate any funds we have on improving the first team and im not sure Ings would do that. But he is young and has potential.

 

[y1dk1d]

Seems the only way to get him would be with a very strong offer, I'm guessing like £15m which we won't pay and we have no reason to do so as that's way too much. Burnley won't want to sell, don't need to sell and Ings strikes me as the kind of lad who'd just keep his head down and get on with it

 

[Tyler24durden]

No thanks, would rather we bought Austin as he at least consistently scores goals.

I agree that the first team needs to be strengthened ASAP, but we also need squad members that can play Poch's system and Ings has all of the qualities to do that and since his contract ends at the end of the season (would be about 5m compensation IMO), we should try hard to bring him in then. No chance getting him in the Jan TW though. It's also an advantage to have another HG player in the squad.

Priority this window has to be getting rid of as many of the players that don't fit and back up CM on loan (cover for Bentaleb) and pacey striker/wide forward IMO.

There are bargains to be had next summer, that would be the perfect fit and could allow us to spend big on 1 player we need. From a recruitment point of view, I think a great 2 transfer windows (this one and summer) would be Lacazette (prob cost 18-25m), Ings (5m compo), Milner (free) and Moreno (prob 6m).

Milner will almost certainly be offered a new City contract, and Lacazette will go to one of the top clubs.

Milner has been offered a new contract already but not signed it due to lack of playing time, so unless that changes and City put a clause in the contract guaranteeing playing time, I don't think he will sign.

You might be right about Lacazette but who do you think will be in for him?

Hand on heart who here thinks Ings would improve our 1st team?
