Bailey Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 2 hours ago, Shukes said: I would say he is the perfect compliment for DCL. Different type of striker. He is that hard pressing, hard working nuisance that we don’t have at the moment. Imagine him running his arse off and DCL picking up the pieces. I would love to see him here. Yeh I would definitely agree with that. I think they would be borderline unplayable at times as a pair. Shukes and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t want ex reds and people who have spent a years of their life injured. James McCarthy has scarred me. And yes I know we used to employ lots of ex reds back in the day. Still don’t care, it’s my opinion and I don’t want him There we go. Ex red. Not that you don’t rate him, he’s just an ex red. His injury record is poor for about three out of 15 seasons.

Shukes Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Sheedy and McMahon going into tackles against each was always a highlight of the derby for me. Blue against red, or red against blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vranny Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I only ever thought of him as solid, but unspectacular at Burnley and Liverpool, but he’s really impressed me over these last two seasons. He just does pretty much everything well, on top of being a clinical finisher. He’s unselfish and pairs well with other strikers, so would help to bring DCL into games, but has all the tools to do it alone up top as well. I’d take him in a heartbeat, provided his wage demands aren’t insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 If he stays fit, Ings will score goals.

He has had 2 fit seasons in the Premier League and in one of them he scored 11 goals for a recently promoted Burnley and 22 goals for Soton. In his previously fully fit season he scored over 20 goals in the Championship. I don't think he was properly fit last season after an early injury and yet he still chipped in with 12 goals. His all round play is also very good. If you put a fit Danny Ings into half decent side and he will score a decent amount of goals. 15 minutes ago, MikeO said: Journeyman, at best he could've been another Naismith (no bad thing) but not going to help us move up a level, which is what we want/need.

In the last year of his contract and said he wouldn’t sign a new deal. They’d have been mad to turn down £25m for him under those circumstances, and then when you factor in his injury problems it’s a no brainer.

Good luck in the Villa physio room. The only if, is if he stays fit. He is a very good footballer (good finisher, quick feet, reads the game well and is quick enough), but it doesn't matter how good you are if you spend most of the time on the physio table!
