Playing hardball helps increase the price, saying he is available to other clubs... doesn't.

Not really, as Liverpool only get £2m of the £30m. Saints get £28m. 20% of the £10m profit Saints made = £2m. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/danny-ings-liverpool-millions-breaking-21229132

The club have not confirmed any new deal for him.

Liverpool only get £2m from the deal. 20% of the £10m profit we made on Ings.

It is when a striker isn't the only position we need to improve with any cash.

He'd likely cost an absolute fortune... https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/12293566/tammy-abraham-david-moyes-says-40m-price-tag-for-chelsea-striker-would-rule-west-ham-out-of-transfer

Will Ferry is on loan at Crawley Town.

Why don't you apply the same to Saints when they sell players?

Not technically true SKD! 😉😇

He only started training after his holiday 3 days ago.

That doesn't really make sense as Saints can decide when to sell the player, the player's registration has been transferred so Saints clearly happy for the deal to be completed when it was.

Wet wipes clean up shit, not create it. 😉😇

Yes, as long as we sign another striker. Plus we weren't 'bitten' by signing Adams, he had a decent goal return last season and his hold up and link up play is superb.

Full game...

No it doesn't. You can still compete after selling players, we got better after Pochettino and players left in 2014 so it can be done. Villa are about to sell a player for £100m and rich owners investing. Not every Premier League club has the money Villa do.

Adams scored only 3 league goals less than Ings last season. So I don't know why you are being so dismissive of him. I don't write off players based on the league they have come from. Did you write off Mane, van Dijk, Pelle, Tadic, Wanyama etc because they didn't have Premier League experience? It isn't the Premiership and hasn't been since 2007.

Why are you writing him off due to the league he plays in? Ings also used to be a Championship striker and didn't score as many goals as Armstrong just did in it.

How can it be an 'exclusive' if they are basing it on reports from elsewhere? Plus the absence of a link to these reports is notable.

Yep, when Burnley sell a player for £100m, have billionaire owners putting lots into the club and a 42k stadium I think they'll put a bid in for Bednarek.

Well that is nonsense. He was at the Swansea, Cardiff and game tonight with the squad. He was also in gym sessions in training galleries. He just may not be ready for contact sessions on the pitch yet.
