Icarium Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Cool, cool, so with Ings gone, Watkins injured and Archer on loan we have 1 fit striker available, who is 19 and yet to play a game for the club. While I get Ings hasn't set the world on fire while he was here, unless a big name striker is already on tje way, this has the potential to massively backfire. Also didn't the club learn anything for last season about strengthening teams below you in the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like we need the money. Phrasing it that way probably confirms just how much we wanted their money, over keeping Ings. Perhaps their initial offer was something derisory like £7m and we managed to get them to £15m through their desperation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted January 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2023 Just now, Jas10 said: Agreed. I’ve been banging this drum for a while. Ings has another 12 months at this level, tops. His body isn’t capable of going any longer. He looks unfit, slow and overweight as far as I’m concerned. We should never have signed him. To get the deal we have now is good business. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted January 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2023 We're doing a 'Moneyball', aren't we. Not that I disagree with the approach, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't. which is why I added the part that says if we don't get a new striker this could back fire.

Sulberto21 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 26 minutes ago, Jas10 said: Said it before, but I would really love for us to have a technical striker, a “cultured finisher” with a variety of goals in his arsenal. Someone who has more approaches than blasting it hard and low. Can take on the keeper, excellent in one on ones, chips, lobs, volleys, headers, curlers, pile drivers… the lot basically Who was the last player we had like this? This seem to be a dying art form imo, it’s supposed to be the beautiful game! Danny Ings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might say we've lost the only natural-bib-putter-onner that we've ever had. We can't rely on bloody Duran to put a bib on properly. Not the way Ings did. Not yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Funny how the same people who say we shouldn't sign a player just because they've had a good World Cup also say we shouldn't sign Jonathan David because he didn't look good at the World Cup Edited January 19, 2023 by messi11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
