Pinebro Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Don't care. Ings never suited our club and how we want to play. He suit West Ham. Happy for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins has been flying. Duran is getting useful minutes off the bench. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Condimentalist Posted February 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2023 Ings will score goals for them I am sure. He's a good player. But he'll never offer a team what Watkins does overall so he was always likely to play second fiddle here. Given the FFP ramifications, I can see why we sold, we've certainly weakened our squad in the very short term, but it will be interesting to see what happens in the summer because we have given ourselves some headroom to attack the window. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jacketspuds Posted February 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2023 Ings moving to West Ham was best for everyone. We got £15m for a good, and slightly injury prone, player on very high wages that is not a first choice striker. Great from an FFP perspective. Ings gets a move where he should play more first team football. West Ham get a striker that will probably get them well away from relegation trouble. Pleased for him that he got 2 yesterday. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 You just know ings is going to score past in few weeks but i wont hold that against him. As othwrs have said 15m for a 30 year old injury prone player on very high wages it was best we sold as we are nit going down so its a gamble we can afford to take. We got duran bailey and traore who can all play there if ollie gets a injury. For west ham though excellent business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not said it wasn't the right time to sell him however a few alluded to him being finished/injury prone/washed and used that as reasoning as to why it was right to sell him. Only reason to sell him was his short contract and high wages and getting good money back on what we've spent was too good to turn down. I agree it was a good time to sell.

I agree, but also that some fans were writing him off as done, an too old, to justify us selling him. He's quality, but it didn't work having 2 strikers.

The fact he’s scored a couple of goals doesn’t mean he isn’t on the decline. He was a poor signing for us IMO, but I wish him all the best because he’s a decent player. Selling him was a good bit of business all round, everyone has benefited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 We sold him when the time was right, when he still had some value to give another club. Not when he was passed it, crooked and stuck in our reserves on high wages. We should be doing more of this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Demitri_C Posted February 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2023 If we didnt sell him now we would have struggled to get anywhere close to 15m for him come summer Ings leaves with our well wishes. His attitude was 1st class 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're so unused to mutually beneficial deals - especially when we're the selling club - that some fans struggle to process the idea and default to looking for 'who lost'. Nobody lost, and that's great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Danny’s a good bloke but showed why he can be a complete non entity in certain matches like against us. Not sure if his touches even got out of the single digits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 He was not good at all vs us. Mings and konsa had him in their pocket all game. I still maintain we did thw rught thing selling him at the time we did. West ham are now going to be stuck with a aging injury prone player on high wages nitvus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
