CONFIRMED Danny Ings signs a one-year deal with option

[mattbianco1]

You’d swap our Academy for Wednesday’s would you?

I'll call it now re: the Pigs.

They've started off with this never say die attitude. A fightback at Wrexham. A PL scalp last night.
The fact is they have about 15 pros and their academy has always been shit... They'll get some results in these early defiant weeks, but ultimately they have absolutely zero depth to their squad and will sink like a stone come the end of September.
There is absolutely no way they won't be relegated

I can’t believe Blades fans think we’re above signing a 33 year old Danny Ings. Some of the weird suggestions on rumour mill yet some turning their nose up at an experienced goal scorer.

I’m happy with this signing, think he’ll do a good job.

We shouldn't be signing 21yo Cannon's. But we're happy with 21yo Zatterstom.

We shouldn't be signing 33yo Ings'. But we're happy with 35yo old Mee.

I'm a bit lost as to what we should be targeting TBH.

 

[Mendi]

Good luck to him.

I'd assume this to be the case too. That's the difference at the moment though, they actually have some leaders in the squad. Can't stand the bloke but at least Bannan has a bit of grit - who in our squad would you say matches his level of tenacity, and actually gives a toss about the club like he does? Robbo was maybe the only one, but his mind is now elsewhere and he was still error prone.

Chansiri, for all his faults, does seem to get it right with managers lately. Early days but Pedersen ain't looking too bad. Typical spawny bastards.

This the Ings that was playing prem football last season?

Yeah I'll take him, thanks.

The problem isn't the signing, it's that it's taken us this long to realise we need signings like this.

Agree with this but it looks like a Wilder signing(who would have got the best out of him). However, not sure that Selles likes a big target man and this is not the way he has set up the team or has them playing.

Good job Ings isn't a big target man then.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Struggling to find any negatives in this signing. JUST 33, bags of experience, bit of a hard case and will lead the line well. 1 year contract is spot on. Potential upgrade on Moore.

Hope Ings and Campbell really hit it off.

We just need a fckin identity and game plan that works now

Just like he got the best out of Ravel Morrison and Jack Rodwell?

think exactly the same they are showing some grit despite all the adversity but i also still think they will get relegated injuries will start kicking in eventually didnt see their game saturday but been told wrexham looked a very poor side and think swansea will beat em this weekend

 

[ITALIANO BLADE]

elated wanted danny ings to play for blades for many many years hes a goal bagsman id make him sufc captain hes leader hes class for free

 

[AWetFlannel]

Just like he got the best out of Ravel Morrison and Jack Rodwell?

Tbf, we probably got the best out of Ravel Morrison. When's he ever done owt better than his few games for us?

 

[JayGreen17]

Good signing, proven prem goal scorer, bags of experience, can only be a good thing.

 

[Chimpan-A]

Ings can only get better, as D:Ream once sang.

 

[Bell4]

ings is a class above brewster and cannon and even at 33 i fancy him to score plenty for us

One is a class above those two tbh

 

[CyloCybin]

I'm really happy with this one. Look at it this way:

33 year old Kieffer out (for money)
33 year old Ings in (on a free)

Good business really. I know which one I'm happier seeing in red and white...

 

[ITALIANO BLADE]

great signing for the blades will lead the line up top hes proven in top 2 leagues a experienced operator who scores great goals

 

[Ned the Donkey]

In case it's not been posted

 

[Brian Blessed]

There was some right shite playing prem football last year to be fair. Brewster, McBurnie, etc

 

[Melbourne Blade]

He's not even 6 ft high so he's definitely not a target man. He's more a Sharp type player who will score.

Make him captain straight away - this team needs leadership and experience.

 

[FMBlade1]

No slight on him but if he isn't given chances he won't score.

[ITALIANO BLADE]

play from the wings straight to ings and he will score massive free agent coup yep danny ings what a player for nowt hes a goal bagsman class intent signing experienced player make him capitano great fella i respecto ive made him italiano sweet for signing for us blades ,,utb...

 

[ITALIANO BLADE]

feed ings from the wings

 

[Maryland_blade]

Maybe a positive after today? He looked surprisingly nippy, and sharp. Would put him in to start next game.

Good read/viewing of Ings, stats, videos, etc:

Where? I don't have to sign up to that cesspit do I to read it?

And Brewster, and McBurnie etc……….

We shouldn't be signing 21yo Cannon's. But we're happy with 21yo Zatterstom.

Context is everything here. Had Cannon been bought for his rough value (£2-3m, or around what we've paid for Zätterström) I don't think there would be the derision that currently exists. He also represented our full transfer budget in January and meant that we couldn't properly solve the critical problems in defence.

We shouldn't be signing 33yo Ings'. But we're happy with 35yo old Mee.
I'm a bit lost as to what we should be targeting TBH.

Anyone doubting either signing needs to give their head a wobble.
