I've been surprised all summer not to see Ings seemingly getting any links away in the media. Surely, even with Benteke gone, he's hardly going to get a look in at Liverpool? They've not even got European football to rotate the squad. And then there's the fact that, presumably like Jay, Ings could do with getting first team football under his belt following his serious injury. WBA, Sunderland, Stoke, Hull, West Ham and one or two others, including us, could do with another striker.
I can't comment on whether I'd be interested in Ings, because I don't know if his injury has had any lasting damage. If he looks half the player than he was previously, then I don't see any logic in loaning Jay out and loaning Ings in. We'd be in the same boat as we are now. But if he's fully recovered, and is simply just short of first team football, then I'd be open to him joining. But even then, I'm not sure he's as good as what we need.
