Levy to Ings post-match:
Always see people worried about how much we are paying for someone, and can never understand why ! If Levy sanctions a purchase then we obviously can afford it. That literally is all we need to care about. Could be a £1 or £100m, makes absolutely no difference to me how much we pay, all that matters is 'Is it the right player'. In an ideal world, no player at our club should be a 'bench warmer', they should all be busting a gut to be a first XI regular. Ings would do that, you can see that by how he's got his career back on track. At £45m would he be deemed as overpriced for Fantasy Football or Football Manager purposes - yeah probably. Back in the real world, he's worth whatever we are prepared to pay for him.
I don’t want him. He is waaaay too expensive, not good enough to force a midfielder or winger out of the lineup. If we are going to spend that kind of money, then they either better be young with world class potential or world class. Ings already proved that he can’t make it at a top side, let him get his goals for a mid table club, but I just don’t see it for us. Maybe 3 years ago.
I think the majority of us know how good a player he is.Been watching this thread with great interest. People actually questioning whether we should sign him? If there is any chance we must do all we can. He could play up front with Kane too.
It's not ever so long ago - we still had four strikers when Bale first signed, but transitioned away from it before he left for Madrid.Might be showing my age here but I remember squads having 4 strikers. There are plenty of games go for around so back up is a wrong way of talking about it.
Kane will be ruined if we don’t give him someone who can rotate with him throughout the season
He's consistent at this level.
Ya can't argue with his record.
What's it worth is the question and are we willing...still, per ITK from only last week
