thorpie the sinner Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 (edited) Don't like to start new threads per se, but there have been rumours being mooted of our interest in Ings? With Burnley signing LJ today, just wondered if said people maybe in know thought this may pre-empt a bid? Obviously Burnley could be adding strength in depth, but if we are interested, seems like a good time to go for it!

Olallana Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 I think the club might look at Ings as a possibility but I dont think they match Burnleys valuation of him that is said to be around £8m when he only has one year left on his contract.

Saint IQ Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 Alan Nixon told me he expects Burnley to keep him even if he goes for free next summer as if he is the difference in staying up or going down 8m or so now is not worth it if you're losing out on 60m+ next year. Them signing these forwards are getting my hopes up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingdomCome Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 I also wholeheartedly apologise for the caps, I don't know what came over me! Caps forgiven. "Per se" error is not (I realise I'm a pedantic c*nt) Problem with Ings is that he's more valuable to Burnley than he would be to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaroid Saint Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 Said this before (and only half in jest!): Danny needs to invoke the unwritten 'boyhood club' law and force a move to Saints. Burnley can then spend a couple of years getting Luke up-to-scratch before he then also cites the 'boyhood club' thing and comes to Saints!

S-Clarke Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 Not entirely sure what Burnley's transfer policy is all about. Fill the squad up with utter dross?? They seem to be going on the basis that Palace didn't go out and buy lots of foreigners and they stayed up. Yep, but they bought proven players....Ledley's, Dann, Puncheon, etc etc. They're just buying average NPC players. Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 Caught my interest but it turned out to be just another kite flying. Its better really to have potential players names on threads only where there is some reasonable source to base a rumour. Signings may be unlikely while the manager and the squad are in Belgium, so its a long wait after the excitement of two coming together last week/weekend.

Lorne Malvo Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 Ings is a legend on my CM01/02 game. Get him signed on that basis. Seriously, I don't know enough of him to know if he is any good. What sort of striker is he? I noticed he has a good scoring record which is always an advantage being a striker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 I was impressed by him when Burnley came to SMS last season in the Cup and he is only 21. A better player than Sharp without doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaroid Saint Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 Ings is pretty much rated by everyone around the England setup has having a very bright future. The comparison to Sharp is not a bad one to be fair; although Danny is at the start of his career of course and can play across the front line more creatively than Sharp ever did! But they are from the same cloth. Namely they are 'strikers': get a goal from anywhere type players. If he did come to Saints, I would say (aside from Pelle, who I've not seen play) Ings would be the most talented striker at the club. Would be very popular on here as he works his socks off and is English! Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

angelman Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 I suspect, given that it has been reported we have interest and had a bid rejected as well as Burnley saying he is not for sale, that something is happening. There are no guesses as to what the stumbling block would be. So how much would be a fair price in these days of mad transfers? Being in the final year of a contract should mean he is cheaper - £4m? Or is that unrealistically low/high? It is hard to tell these days. At that price, as has been said, Burnley would definitely want to keep, as if he helps keep them up, then £4m is small beer compared to what they would lose through relegation.

I Saints are interested they will have plenty of evidence to show him. And we seem to be aware of plenty of foreign up and coming youngsters playing abroad, if Feyenoord's scouting network was even half as good as ours he should have known all about him anyway.

Saint Charlie Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 Local Burnley Journo Suzanne Geldard @LT_Suzanne): No truth in the latest rumour that Burnley have rekected a bid from Southampton for Danny Ings.
