Confirmed: Danny Ings joins Saints

Is he our first choice striker? I would have thought that is Austin....until Hughes sees evidence to suggest otherwise. I think he gives us an option, so we can rest Charlie and perhaps reduce the chance of him being injured. I see Ings and Austin as our interchangeable tattooed forwards...with Gabbi able to play with either of them. Long provides something different depending on opponents and how the game is going (if he doesn't start).

This is where you tell me that Ings is a different type of player....I admit ignorance in this area.

 

Don't think anyone is expecting him to score bucketloads.

 

****ing hell TLL, change that avatar and if the Spud says anything, we’ll all sort him out!

 

That's the problem, though. We're unwilling to fork over market price for quality first-choice players, but we're quite willing to throw money at rotational options with major red flags.

 

@SpursDisciple

For what it's worth, a Leicester fan has done a job on him too

 

That’s pathetic... should have been Gooners lifting the FA Cup or something.

 

To be honest Leicester winning that year was our best hope in a generation and probably for a generation more. This one stings a lot.

 

If I had won it would have been Sol Campbell with PL trophy at WHL

 

The one I really feared was Sol Cambpell lifting the league. I'd have been banned from my own board.

 

Gulp

 

The bet included Vardy as well didn't it?

 

Not ours, but @AKCJ bet me that Vardy would get less yellows for diving than Dele Alli. I assumed Alli would have learned his lesson, as he's a bright lad. Seems I was wrong on all counts.

 

When £27 million gets you Mitrovic, £18 million for Ings doesn't seem too bad to be fair.

 

Even on a pisstake that f****** avatar is obnoxious.

 

Let’s be honest, he couldn’t exactly give you an avatar of Spuds winning something, could he

 

Even we've been to a final recently

 

Don’t think anyone has said he’ll score bucket loads, more that he could be a decent signing for us. Maybe we wait and see first before saying it’s awful business?

 

Have they named the new ground yet? Any truth in the rumours that it will be named F*ck Hall?

 

Again, that's the problem. We keep spending on players who could be decent options, and consequently we have a squad of backups that we cannot shift for love or money, while claiming to be too poor to afford real quality.
