Danny Ings

[Pintor75]

Ings maybe, but Redmond isn't an improvement on Brooks imo

 

[robbiez666]

Ings has played 15+ games in the Premier league for the past 11 years.

33 isn't old for someone that never relied on pace anyway.

I don't see how this won't be a good addition to the squad. I think ings would see us as a good challenge to come in and get goals once again towards the end of his career - I would image he would be "motivated"

In fairness, he's just 33 as well. Last month. If it's for a year, I don't see a down side. Even if we bring in another striker, One can go on loan.

Billy Sharp scored 23 goals as a 33 year old when we went up from this level in 2019.

Age isn’t the issue. Sharp was extremely fit and was used to playing every week. Ings played 405mins last season and the last few months was out injured. Redmond a measly 300mins in 2 seasons, we need first team players!

Ings was available most of the time for West ham in his 2 years. 50 plus appearances.

I agree. We have Davies and the comfy high seat for geriatrics both almost constantly on the treatment table do we really want to risk adding another two injury prone players to the squad.

Fair enough to question the lack of playing time but he wasn't out injured for the last few months of the season at all.





I do also agree and have reservations about Redmond due to his severe lack of playing time but this thread is about Ings.

 

[Brian Deane]

That's just not true is it. ?

Yeah, it is. Either falls over the ball or his own feet or loses possession. Very rarely takes a man on and gets a cross in.
Passes the ball sideways and backwards if he manages to keep the ball.
Frustrating as fuck to watch.

 

[Frank the tank]

If you mean dribbling in the sense of running with the ball…I’d suggest that it was good in the way they might do dribbling unopposed around cones in training.
The minute he’s got a player to beat he’s done.
Not my idea of a winger.

Talk about recency bias
Yes the kids been disappointing this season but I've seen the lad go past his man in fact several men on numerous occasions

Can only.assume you have a very short memory

Fair enough, I took not in the squad as being out injured (my bad).

No recency bias at all.
Suggesting it is suggests he is in fact getting worse and may have been better in previous seasons.
Well, I don’t recall them, in fact we brought in JRS on loan to try and improve his position.

Fact is, he’s a left footed player that has to play on the right as a one trick pony to cut in onto his left as he can’t beat his man and go around him when played on the left.

For games played, his goal return and assist return is very poor.
Hes L1 level at best.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

No no and no in that order

 

[ATL Recs]

Ings has been fit, he's just no good at playing. As a loan striker.

so your saying we should buy him as he plays better on a permanent contract ?

It's not Bias at all, just look closer as to what he brings to the side when he receives the ball

 

[JD88]

Ings and Redmond feel a bit like panic is setting in. Neither will be cheap either

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Just no 2 year contracts please

 

[Davalon]

A fit Redmond is but obviously that's the million dollar question.

I really like Andre BTW. Just needs a better level of consistency IMHO.

 

[Torrix1889]

Ings 100% yes......(name an existing better option)

Redmond 100% yes......(name an existing better option)

 

[Badger Blade]

Desperately in need of leadership on the field, especially when things turn to shit as they often have.

Also some experienced heads who might hold Selles to account if he keeps on persisting with something that doesn't work.

 

[54yrblade]

We currently have no on field leader to speak of, and precious little experience

Both would do a job, even short term to help get us settled down

But, if they're reading our social media channels they'll probably run in the opposite direction

And I wouldn't blame them at all

 

[Tazzy]

Experience is key this season with Redmound Mee and Ings brings that 10 fold get them all in on 1 year deals

 

[Wards]

Sorry but that comes from above and should never be from below.

 

[Stretch]

This how low we've sunk? if we sign them going to be a long hard season. not for those 2 they'll be picking up a good wage to sit on a comfy treatment table

Are we skipping medicals when we sign players now then?

 

[robbiez666]

I meant lone not loan.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

It stinks of desperation doesn’t it. And a failed transfer strategy.

 

[Badger Blade]

Sorry but that comes from above and should never be from below.

At the moment, it seems that nobody at the club from top to bottom seems to have a clue what they're doing.

Helmy Eltouky and Steve Rosen could be the smartest people in the world but it doesn't mean they know the first thing about football.

 

[SB_90]

my auntie told me about our interest in him. how is he only 33. he's been around ages

 

[scouseblade]

Screaming out for a forward, forward starts training with club. Fans say he is too old, too unfit and not right. Despite evidence to contrary. Ings at 32/33 will be a good acquisition for the Championship for one year. Jesus. This club and fans.....just want to pick the bones out of everything.

 

[MagnifiqueShorehamStreet]

Yep, it smacks of 10 to 2, and the beer goggles are persuading you to make a move for the girl with her front teeth missing.
Speaking from experience!

 

[Karaoke Blade]

The problem is. Who ever they sign, the player's have to understand the system and be able to play it.
Frankly at the moment none of the player's understand it and it shows in their body language

I don't think the manager understands it, to be fair.

Even so, the last thing we want is players undermining the manager It's probably partly the reason the performances have looked so disjointed at times already. Not pointing fingers but some of them don't look enthused by the approach when they should simply get on with it instead of sulking.
