Danny Ings

[Tucker]

45-50 million seems a little too pricey considering the other options available. He does have proven experience in the prem though. I suppose all this will depend on our HG squad spaces etc too.

 

[hughy]

£50m is bang on for him considering his value to Southampton and how good he was last season.

Let's factor in that he's exactly a year older than Kane, and if we were to sell Kane next summer we'd want nothing less than £150m. Suddenly Ings doesn't seem like terrible value.

JM is infamous for doing this especially during his first spell at Chavs, Fergie employed this tactic very regularly throughout his time at united

I've heard it said that Fergie's machinations were part of the reason that transfer windows were brought in.

It's still terrible value and that's the difference why Kane would be 150m - because he's consistent

 

[austinfh]

He’s definitely worth that to Southampton but our money would be much better spent elsewhere, imagine what £50m on a top class centre back could do to our team

 

[Hazelton]

This would be very surprising if it happened. Perhaps the most surprising transfer we have ever completed. One of those signings where even Levy, Jose and Ings would have to say "blimey, that's surprising." I'd be surprised.

 

[olliec]

Let’s buy partey just to piss off the goons with that 50m instead.

 

[Donki]

I like Ings, I think he is very underrated but I think he has done so well last season because he has a good coach who is playing him week in and week out and he has found some consistency. He comes to us and he will simply not get the number of games and I fear his goal scoring form will drop. Also £50M, its a no fro me?

 

[Spursberg]

Sorry, but if we pay close to 50 mil for Ings i'm done. That is just idiotic amount of money for a reserve, and yes he will be reserve for most of the time. I know we need quality, but i actually think he will be bang average as soon as he is a bit by bit player in a bigger team. Spend large amount of money on a gamechanging creative midfielder instead, and go for a tall bulky striker for around 20-25 mil

Not to mention does he WANT to come here? What if he says no? I can see that.

Agreed, would rather Wout Weghorst who will offer something completely different to what we have.

Me too, Liverpool will be in the back of his head.

 

[spursfan77]

We aren’t spending £50m on any player this window, let alone Danny Ings. That might be his price in the market and it’s probably accurate but we won’t buy him.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Way too expensive, surely theres cheaper alternatives out there? Looks like our Striker hunt will run & run, hopefully it ends up with someone.

Incredibly harsh on Ings to consider him inconsistent because he was out for the best part of 2 seasons with injuries. When he gets a constant run of games he has always scored goals during his career, thats a fact.

I was reading somewhere that Weghorst club have put up financial blocks making a deal difficult like wanting most of the cash upfront

HE looks liek a unit so I agree, but I think I have seen him live twice.

 

[Mr Pink]

Ings true value wouldn't be too far off that in fairness, maybe 35/40 million.

They just hike it up to warn suitors off - obviously.

That’s a shitter, but not insurmountable.

I like him but he's not worth 50m in that age. 0.47 goals per 90 in his full premier league career, other 'full' seasons he scored 11 and 7
