Ignore the financials, they are for the bean counters to consider, just as a football fan I want to see Ings on our side rather than against us. I just don’t get the wanting to sell Ings fans or thinking we should cash in now. Yes he earns a lot of money and yes he’s 30 but he’s never relied on pace, is currently scoring under the new manager, presses, is a positive in the dressing, isn’t complaining about being on the bench and we only have two strikers in the squad and only one looks like he can score goals. They say he’s not so mobile, when the hell has Ings been massively mobile like a Watkins…never, very few are. He’s not aging badly, they are just comparing to Ollie’s workrate which is impressive but Ollie can’t find the net enough. Ings fits Emery’s system technically when we are on the front foot. Of all the squad issues we have, Ings is one of the least priority changes we should be looking at. He’s more than doing his job under Emery, it’s a skill set being craved by most PL clubs at the moment and he scores for us which we don’t have many of and our other striker struggles in that department yet some are willing to give that up….the mind boggles why! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I'd *bet good money, (£2 max), that Danny Ings is an Everton player by the end of the transfer window. It fits the narrative in so many ways. (I don't bet, but if I did, it would be on this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would only be if we were to bring in another striker in this window, which would seem to be unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, absolutely, because things never change and managers NEVER speak mis-truths to the media. You're right. Take everything said ever as fact.

StanBalaban Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Ings is our top scorer and seems like a good pro who's willing to play his part in the squad. We're light up from as it is anyway, yet there's some that want to sell him this window. Even if he wasn't going to get many minutes (which he will), we definitely shouldn't be looking to strengthen another team. We have to accept that many other clubs have been paying large wages like his for many years now, but neither the club nor the manager seem to think he's a drain on our resources. Players like Ings, Woods, Welbeck are useful to clubs like ours, and far better than having an Aubameyang or Costa to rely on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted January 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2023 Unai said both Ings and Watkins have their role and we need someone else in addition to them, not in place of either of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only have two strikers now Archer has gone out on loan and Ollie went off with an injury and currently unknown status of that. This before we even talk about his goals and contribution. Makes no sense even if you think he should be sold at some near date which very few fans do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Ings as a bit of a Solskjaer type player in the squad. I like having him here, and I rate him as an option, but I think we'll suffer if he's starting week-in, week-out because he can get bullied out of games. He's clearly a top pro, though, and well liked. If a chance falls to anyone, you probably want it to be him. I just think there's certain games where you're on the back foot, looking to counter attack at pace, and someone a bit faster and more athletic is going to do the job better. It's not a criticism of him, just being realistic about his strengths and weaknesses. He's a good player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton can’t afford the fee and certainly can’t afford the wages unless they get rid of a lot of the rubbish they have which will be hard. From an Ings point of view I don’t see him wanting to join a basket case club on the verge of almost certain relegation when he would have better options.

Desperation for football clubs does crazy things. Maybe they will feel so completely **** at the bottom of the league that they financially put it all on Danny Ings? With a release clause that he can leave if relegated and a certain fee is met? Nothing is certain. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you can pay the PL Premium for performance, every player is a gamble. How much did Chelsea pay for Lukaku and see how that went Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
