    Sky say he's signed for £15m
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    I do like Ings but his best days are definitely behind him.
  • HamstewHamstew
    Agree but I think it's a good buy. Small sums for a striker than can get going straight away.

    Maybe Antonio is going to Villa, he can swap shirts with Ings and stitch new names on the back

    Ings quite injury prone
    Could he be relied upon in a relegation run in?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    He's not been injured for 2 years (I know) so maybe he is on top of his issues.

    According to transfermarket site.
    No games missed through injury this season or last. (?)
    20-21. Missed 7 games over 3 injured stints
    19-20. None
    18-19 missed 15 games over 4 periods injured.

    In other terms, that's 7 injuries over that last 5 seasons.

    Is that such an abnormal record to put him in the ' injury prone ' category?

    Obvs, prior to that he had that massive disaster at Liverpool.

    Ings makes it 25 in our squad as far as I can see so it's one in one out from now on.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Let's just carry on with Ings stuff here.

    Oooh what squad miner will he pick… 😜

    I’m gonna say 34
  • Ravel49Ravel49
    That should be number. I’m not alluding to anything else!

    Ahhhhh the picture becomes clearer

    Villa's new signing 19yo Columbian striker Jhon Duran arrived to complete his medical yesterday

    Not that I'm complaining but it seems a bit of a gamble considering he's had just one season playing in MLS and wasn't a regular starter

    Tbh I think we could easily leave Coventry out if we needed someone extra over and above, for instance, a new CB for Dawson.
  • stevesteve
    Ings has scored goals everywhere ,we will soon put that right =)
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Ings is being brought in to replace Dawson isn't he? =)
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Just for the record, I am really happy with bringing in Ings as he is a proven goal scorer and IF paired with Antonio up top, I can see them creating problems for any opponent. Nowadays, the fee is pretty reasonable given the craziness of todays valuations, so it looks like good business to me.

    However, please, please, please do not play him up top on his own

    Just my tuppence worth

    I was curious about his record, so I've just downloaded a bunch of records from Transfermarkt.

    In the Premier League, he has started as a striker 168 times, 50 of those as a lone striker, and 118 in a pair. He has 17 goals as a lone striker - at one goal every 192 minutes - and he has 49 goals as part of a strike partnership - at one goal every 186 minutes. So, his goalscoring record is pretty much like for like when it comes to playing alone or in a two.

    I'd be very surprised if Antonio is still with us come the end of the window.

    We never play 2 up top, so I wouldn't hold your breath if we do bring him in.

    We do for the last ten minutes when trying to rescue a point. 🤦🏼‍♂️
  • stevesteve
    Has he signed yet

    Ings undergoing West Ham medical
    Danny Ings is currently having a medical at West Ham ahead of a £15m move from Aston Villa.
    The Hammers are hopeful of getting the signing completed in time for him to feature against Everton on Saturday.
    He has to be registered by midday Friday to be eligible to play.
    The fee is £12m plus £3m in add-ons.

    Can you believe it, Rav? My call-up snatched away from me at the last minute.
  • Ravel49Ravel49
    Shocking behaviour
  • Ravel49Ravel49
    Well can he do it on a cold dry November afternoon in Stoke?

    Well yes, yes he can

    If we get this over the line, a very sensible signing.
    Established, experienced and a workhorse. You know what you are getting.
    15million is good value too.

    Given the speed we're trying to get this through, you'd hope it would be done in time for him to play on Saturday 🤞🤞🤞. I know Moyes doesn't like throwing new signings straight into the fray, but this is a game we desperately need to win and having attacking options could be oh so important, especially if Scamacca's injury turns out to be as bad as has been rumoured at various points this week.

    I'd be shocked if he doesnt play considering our goal scoring prowess
