Danny Ings (Burnley) - SIGNED BY LFC

is this the guy that who hasn't scored for Burnely for 900 mins ?

Champions League here we come!

If we don't sign 2 MORE strikers 'excluding' Ings and Origi, I (and probably many) would be seriously disappointed. Origi has been woeful since the world cup and a season's loan at a club like Swansea can only be good for him. We may hv to wait until Jan to see a hopefully fully-fit Sturridge.

God, I hate this "committee"!

So another horror story to go along side todays election results. What a sh*t day!

The lad is on a free and he is only 22 years old, will just go into squad, freshen things up.

Don't have a problem with it myself, so long as we get that top striker we all know we need as well.

Borini would probably have done what Ings does for Burnley. Just can't see the point I'm afraid. No ambition once again.

If we sign 1 top class striker in addition to Ings and Origi coming in then I'll be very happy. That will give us 2 top quality strikers (Studge + New), 1 good backup (Ings), and 1 youngster with potential (Origi). I'm just not sure who that top class striker could be.... The likes of Higuain and Cavani seem unlikely. I can't see us winning the race to sign Lacazette. I'd imagine we will end up signing someone like Jovetic or Dzeko. City will probably be in for another top ST this summer which should free up one of the aforementioned players to leave. I'd be happy enough with either one in all honesty. I think both are better players than they get credit for at City....

However, I doubt we will see any more forwards coming in until the likes of Balo, Borini, and Lambert have been shifted.

I'd rather push Yesil on next Season than see Ings here. Why buy potential when we can develop our own potential? What is the F***ing point of the Academy if we keep buying youngsters?

Its that "sure hes cheap and worth a punt" attitude thats got us into this mess.

Simple question... would any of Chelsea, Arsenal or City have him in their 1st team. No, then neither should we. And we shouldnt be looking at his calibre for our 5th team either.

With Sturridge's injury record, we could well see Ings and Yesil as our front 2 more than we'd like to think.

Seriously there is like 10 top leagues in football. 4 top teams in each league. 2 strikers at each of those. Come the F**k on... scouts: do what you are paid to do and go find the players who will make a facking difference.

Don't be silly man, 5th string? Do we even have a 5th string? He's a much better back-up striker option than Lambert imo and can add to the squad in enough ways for us to want to snap him up.

Are people seriously saying you'd pass on him as a free and not sell Lambert. I bet he's on similar wages or less if anything. Looks like money in the bank and if the rumours are true we may need that. And we're a better player up to boot.

Im seriously saying I would pass on him if he was free, or if they paid for us to take him.... BECAUSE that means we will not get another better striker. Origi, unproven. Studge, Injured. Suddenly Ings is numero uno and no different than Ballo or Lambert or Borini or NGOG for that matter. That free transfer has now cost us another CL position and 40+m. Learn from our mistakes.

Dramatic I know but fu**ed if it doesnt make sense in my head.

Also the precedent and statement it sets. Big players wont sign if we sign small players... Shows no intent to challenge. No statement of intent with a signing like this. Again a signing like this has unquantifiable financial impacts.

He will not be free as we still have to pay compensation to Burnley probably £4-5M which should go towards the Higuain, Lacazette etc fund.

Personally think he's an upgrade on Borini and Lambert so I've no problem with him coming in as 4th in line to start but something tells me we have bigger plans for young Danny boy.

23 years of age do you sign anywhere that you're not going to play regularly? (will be 23 before the start of next season)

I'll tell you one thing though, we'll earn money on this deal that's for sure!! Gotta love that eh? What nobody?

Sturridge/Benteke/Ings/Lambert would people be happy going into the season with that as our striking options, I know I wouldn't.

I don't even know if Ings is an upgrade on Lambert or Borini, seriously. I really don't think he's any good Would rather give Canos or Sinclair the 3rd or 4th spot than waste transfer funds on Ings

This signing is only good for one thing, reselling for a small profit.

No.

Even if you swap Lambert for Origi I still wouldn't be happy.

He is not any better than Borini (who scored as many goals for Sunderland ) or Rickie but as you mention he is English and young. So yes the deal will be to sign him for a couple of years then sell him on to some relegation threatened team for £10-12M, pure business related deal and nothing to do with improving our first team!

I'd never have him as our main striker, but him Origi, Sturridge and a big striker... Sounds good to me.

As much as 5mill, surely not? I'd be a little less optimistic if that's the case =[

Small to potentially decent profit though, should he bang in a few goals he could go for £15m (young and English) the finacial risk low.

No.

Even if you swap Lambert for Origi I still wouldn't be happy.

Fair point Si, I forget Origi occasionally.

I haven't really watched him too many times, but to me he looks an upgrade on Borini, I get your point regarding the Sunderland goals though, it's a fair one.

Just would be another nothing signing IMO to match the "policy", who we will be looking to get rid of after a season. What's he done since the turn of the year? He's been crap. He had a good bit of form and it is almost a knee-jerk reaction from his good bit of form from around the first 1/4 of the season.

He isn't going to turn us into challengers.

May be a better bet than some of the sh!te we've got up there at the moment but I hardly think he's going to be banging them in for a title / CL  challenging side in the years to come. Just can't get excited about it at all.
