Yep, it was a wondrous sight to behold our substitutes on Sunday, Che, Minmouseo and Moussa all warming up, Salissu and Che coming on, we haven't had a bench like that in... forever it seems
I realise you are being ironic, but no one could seriously believe there is any significant talent emerging from the B team with the possible exception of Tella. Who knows, secure the next 3 or 4 points and the whole picture may look very different regarding investment
I don't know exactly what todays market is in relation to transfer fees, but in ordinary times I would say £30 million plus, he is very highly rated by football aficionados. He would definitely be a massive upgrade on Fred at Man U. If its a UK move I could only see it being City, United or Liverpool.
In this instance it may have a slightly different motivation. Ings’s stock would have been through the roof prior to his injury run / comparative goal drought. He is in danger of becoming a forgotten man, or perhaps more relevant, all of the doubts regarding him being able to sustain any consistent level of fitness. If he doesn’t recover his form in whatever is left of the season when he comes back I think his value will have potentially halved since his purple patch. I can see why his representatives would be attempting to put him back into the spotlight at this time.
