If we want to maintain our position of mediocrity then Ings is the perfect player. If we want to start challenging again then we need to be looking elsewhere.
Don't we know it mate. The lad is bang average. He's a mid-table Premiership player at best. But that appears to be where we are heading. Would the club be interested if he wasn't out of contract? I don't think they would. Absolute bollox signing if it happens, I'll be truly pis.sed.
Neither Ings or Benteke will work given the way we play under Rodgers. We NEED a couple of players as close to Luis style as is possible. That means skilful, flair, hard working and pacy. Something along the lines of the kid Vietto or the lad Dybala that Juve have just signed up. Not a couple of mid table, over priced, over rated Premiership players of the Benteke range.
We don't need a target man, we don't need someone to hold it up, we don't need players who can go win it in the air. We had that this season and look where it got us. Wake up Brendan and the rest of the committee idiots. Pace, movement, skill and flair. That's the four words that should be applied to any striker search.
