Panto_Villan Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Wtf - didn't see this coming at all. He's an excellent player and I'm delighted to have him here. I love Watkins but Ings is proper competition for him, I'm not even sure who would be my first choice out of the two of them on paper. Great work Villa.

Tayls Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) So with City having supposedly been interested in signing Ings… do we think us landing him makes Kane to City even more likely? Apparently city wanted Ings as a possible fallback option if they did not land Kane… Edited August 4, 2021 by Tayls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 12 minutes ago, Made In Aston said: We got shafted on this one. 30m for a 29 year old in the last year of his deal. They could smell the Grealish money a mile away! If we were going to spend that we might as well got Tammy who is miles younger. It’s not as easy as that though. Maybe Tammy wanted a lot more money, maybe Tammy wanted guaranteed starting. Maybe he wants to stay in london. So many things to consider. Who knows what our plan A B or C were. This guy can finish. No doubt about it. A huge upgrade on our back up position. Really happy with this. Let’s go all out on a £60m DMC and my god we’re looking good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty player too, one that makes our squad options so much better. Chuffed. Yes he is Crafty, he can steal the ball from under anyone's nose, did it to Hugo Llorris.

MotoMkali Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 2 minutes ago, nick76 said: As I just edited in that comment above I think Kiwi wont be happy and many others who, like you said, didnt think we would drop big money on another striker might be eating their words. I dont care, I am delighted! We are having a tough week with the Hair band boy so Ings and Bailey is getting us through it. I think most of us were objecting to 40 million. If the initial fee is below 25 mil with add ons taking it to 30 then I'd be happy. Chelsea are trying to use Tammy to raise 50 million to spend on lukaku no way could we get him as cheap as got ings. Also Ings can play as a second striker/10 role, or as a LW as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The further Wesley is away from the squad the better I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted August 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2021 I had to double take when the notification popped up! Thought it was fake. What a signing. Really good move. He’s one of those strikers I hated us playing against. Superb. Welcome Danny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 2 minutes ago, DaveAV1 said: We always seem to sign players for an undisclosed fee. The truth is probably two or three million less than stated in the clueless press. Multiply that by half a dozen players and suddenly you’ve got a free one. On the other side of the equation, who knows what the fee is for Jack? FFP dodging creative accounting my good man, it will go through the books as the saints paid us 30m to take him off their hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I yearn for the day some of you get over this "philosophy" obsession like there cannot be exceptions to the general rule. Just because Ings and Young don't fit a certain profile doesn't mean that they aren't worthy, sensible signings. Just get on board with it lads we're winning the league. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 He's another workaholic striker. Constantly closing down and hassling defenders. Looking forward to seeing him on Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The_Steve Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 However you spin it, a rotating forward line of Bailey, Buendia, Ollie and Ings is going to cause a lot of teams problems. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a couple of days and Southampton will owe us money. They’ll have to throw in JWP just to clear their debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I am some others were wishing for Tammy, he did want higher wages. Any idea what INGS was on at Southampton?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
