Popular Post The_Steve Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 Sometimes it’s not about resale value but the immediate qualities they bring and help develop the squad and the young players around them. He will hit the ground running, and bring so much to the team. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re having a bit of a pay day with the Grealish transfer and we’ve made the decision that we can pay to bring in proven PL quality. It’s a deviation from the strategy of young and with potential but it’ll bring short term gains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just how transfers work at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he stays or goes we need to be less reliant on one player and more of a unit. Hopefully Bailey, Buendia and Ings are the start of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cosmik Debris Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 The sum paid maybe on the high side but Dings is a quality player who will strengthen the team on and off the pitch. Some of the negative comments being posted about injury and age concerns are gut reactions but not based on facts, if people are going to drop these type of comments it shows they are not looking into his stats at all and probably have not watched him play for some time as this guy has been prolific for many seasons and is a real team player with very little injury issues.

Jareth Posted August 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2021 Can't believe we have him - he's in his absolute prime. Someone posted a good twitter thread about Bailey's delivery - coupled with Buendia in the middle and potentially another from the left like Cantwell - Ings is going to get the best service of his career - and he's perfectly capable of creating something for himself. Where on earth do we put Watkins? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_82 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Great signing & forget his age he is a proven goalscorer for here and now - As above Kane will be 150m and get nowhere near that now its for what they bring NOW im very very happy with this one - Well done Lange, Deano and NSWE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Having read the Athletic article on Ings I can see why he is preferable to Tammy. If we are to go with a player who plays a bit of a false 9 and drops deeper to collect possession the way England set up with Kane and wide forwards. Ings does that where Tammy is your sole CF leading the line. So with Watkins and Bailey as the inside forwards and Ings the 9 who drops deep to collect the ball at times this gives us a new potent attack. Buendia has the tenacity and workrate for central midified. We need an improvement on the players who will play alongside him though. Luiz McGinn Sanson Nakamba aren't good enough in my view so a new signing there is needed before end of the Window I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 You think this move also forces other clubs hands, I think a lot of the big clubs were looking at Ings if they couldn’t get Haaland, Lukaku or Kane, now that option is off the table and we got a proven premier league striker at a snip they are all kinda up a creek without a paddle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why he's preferable to Tammy in this team/squad. We have overpaid for him though but sometimes you need to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Another positive about Ings is he scores more goals than his xG so he's a quality finisher, scoring more goals than he's expected to from the chances he's had. We should get 3/4 good years out of him and he'll always be of use off bench or starting games. Will be interesting to see how he does in a better squad.

How have you gone from "worst signing in the club's history" to this in 24 hours? Damn, I guess David O'Leary was right 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering that in the 19/20 season, Spurs finished 6 v Southampton 11th followed by Spurs finishing 7th and Southampton finishing 15th what would Ings's goal tally have been if he had been playing for a team that hadn't been on the back foot most of the time?
