ender4 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Sky Sports are saying that a fee has been agreed. I guess personal terms and medical need to be sorted but shouldn't take too long. Edited January 19, 2023 by ender4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 We should probably keep him just for the Saints game, absolute banker to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as much as I hate to say this, I wonder if the manager does not see Cameron Archer as a Villa player?.......a bloody shame tbh..... I'd be certain that Emery has man managed Archer perfectly. I bet he's a detailed discussion with how he sees him, where he wants him to improve etc. Whether he'll make it at Villa time will tell. Also in regards to the decision to loan him out, let's not forget that because of Steven he's extremely short of match fitness, and probably confidence.

Spending good wages on a good backup who is better than and younger than Ings so his resale value isn't depreciating constantly would be money far better spent. If there is someone like that out there, then we should go for them. But not having them in place before we sell our top scorer isn't a good decision IMO. Maybe something has changed with Emery after the Stevenage game, but I felt Ings still had something to contribute this season. And selling him now for £15m rather than £10 in the summer, it's not like we need the money. For what it's worth, Ings is currently on 0.66 goals per 90 in the league this season, the highest in our team by far. In his best season with Southampton, his goals per 90 was 0.71, so he's putting in goals at a similar rate per 90 mins to his best ever season.

I wouldn't let him go before Southampton. And he's professional enough to play well even if he knows he's moving club a day or two later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are waiting for Villa to finalise an incoming striker before we sell him. It's just that the media got wind of it too early and Sky decided to announce he was sold this morning, but then backtracked to imminently will be sold.

MakemineVanilla Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 One goal in three is a very respectable tally, even though he never looked the right fit for Villa's park-the-bus and hoof it style. He never looked happy running about like a mad thing and being sat on the bench so often failed to fully justify his wages. Even so, letting him go is a huge gamble for the manager.

est1874 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Cannot believe they bought Scamacca for £35m but they're getting Ings from us for an initial 12m, less than half what we paid for him. We are absolute **** mugs in the transfer market. **** mugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted January 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2023 In isolation, as always when we don't know of any other moves, this is a moronic move for a team without goalscorers. Danny was very useful to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scamacca was 22 when they signed him, and his stock was high. Ings is 31 in the summer, is a bit part player for us (unfortunately, but it's fact) and only has 18 months left on his contract. Can't compare those two deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to build for the future. It probably is a good bit of business as he doesn't seem to fit within our system all that well. But not so sure he's declining - his physical attributes aren't his greatest strengths, more his finishing, speed of thought and positioning. In those respects he's maybe similar to a Kevin Phillips, and could go on for years at a decent level in the right team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would brace yourselves at the end of the month for the possibility that we swapped out Ings for Duran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
