So it's a loan, after which we HAVE to buy him.
For £18M.
And it's Danny "who needs knees anyway?" Ings.
Fook.
Welcome anyway. I'll cheer you and will hope for the best.
Have you tried Cissus by the way? It's good for joints.
Danny ****ing Ings?
Christ on a bike.
In January Gao was supposedly trying to sign Walcott as a "present to the fans".
And here we are scrambling last minute for Danny Ings.
Good god.
I'm sure there was an ITK comment, or possibly an interview with a first teamer even, near the start of the summer which suggest 2 strikers would be leaving.
Presumably we are looking at a last week/day deal if we can shift some other wages?
Austin did look poor yesterday, but then the team didn't really help him much.
My hope is that Armstrong and Moi, carrying the ball from midfield at pace, will create more chances than last season.
This may be a forlorn hope.
Watched the last 20 minutes.
Not much time to assess, but encouraging. Pretty decent at times. Seem to be more forward-looking, and moving the ball quicker.
Hoedt managed to look wobbly.
Reed busy.
Gallagher mobile.
JWP in central midfield? Wonder how many games he'll really get there?
Shhhhh......whisper it or don't mention it at all.
We don't want to put people off signing him!
Personally I'd hate him to go. Tremendous player. Far too good for Burnley!!
