    It would be a gamble to sign Ings because it’s not just the fee, but wages as well. If he was fit and had his same attributes, yes sign him. If not, best leave.

    This. Would rather have Sam Vokes than Ings if we’re playing the sentiment card.

    Rondon never made it into double figures for WBA - despite almost always starting. Even Long has managed that once for us!

    £17m for someone who can't run, is apparently earning £70k a week, and will get you one goal every four or five starts? I don't know why people keep on mentioning him. Actually, with that sort of scoring record, he's probably well suited to us.

    People keep mentioning him because he's got the attributes we're missing, powerful centre forward who can hold the ball up, works hard and can shoot. Ok he played in a shocking West Brom team but he's a decent player.

    I have a number of Baggies ST friends up here and they, if I put it politely, don't rate him at all.
    His ability is without question but his attitude and commitment is.
    They see him as a major part of their problem over the past few seasons
    As one said, you're welcome to him and we will see you in the Championship the next season

    The other way round might be preferable - given that pace is Targett's o vious weakness.

    Three, for me; either Dejan Lovren or Virgil van Dijk ever receiving a winners medal, in any competition.

    Okay, that's four things.

    That's your opinion.
    For me Toby and Vvd made him look better than he was. No doubt he was good but not that good. Any way......old news.

    The important thing is that, unlike Dejan Lovren, Toby Alderweireld or VvD, he has won a tournament with his country <ok>
