Its either a made up story or van gaal sees him as a player to fit in with his game plan. If van gaal wants him, why all the debate? He's proven he can take an unappreciated player and improve them.
Danny Ings | Signs for Liverpool (lol)
- Thread starter #07
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Dybala, Firmino, Rooney, Wilson and possibly RVP would be a good enough forward line up for me. I see no need for Ings.
Far too many. We still have Di Maria and possibly Depay.
LOL! You can earn your place or feck off to the scousers.

Yeah, feck him for wanting to play.
No, Feck him for demanding to be in the starting line-up based on a contract and not his ability and confidence in himself.
See ya when Stoke visit then.
He didn't say he wants a contract like that at all. All he said is he wants to play football because yeah, that's what footballers want.
Don't want him, unless we're letting both RVP & Falcao go and still getting another forward in.
Where did he say that? And if anything, this should be looked at positively. He said he wants to play football and he wants to learn and improve, unlike the likes of Sinclair and Rodwell who were happy to waste their development and never play.
For what it's worth, Van Gaal if he signed him would give him game time. If he likes a player he doesn't freeze them out.
He's not good enough for a top team
Please go to Liverpool!
he wouldn't do worse than Radamel fecking Falcao would he? He's quite well rounded player and if he had actual midfield he could really score goals for any team. Wouldn't even mind having Rooney, Ings, Wilson and Depay as options for striker next season..
He'd be great at Liverpool. Please let it happen.
Speaking of them us signing Ings would be a lot like City signing Sinclair or Rodwell.
Please go to Liverpool.
Ah pace, the only thing that matters in football, still can't believe Fergie didn't sign Usain Bolt when had the chance.
Based on?
It's based on nothing really, he's a good player and I think he'd thrive in one of the top sides because he'd be getting better service from better players (sorry to any Burnley fans on here) The football snobs are just blinded by the fact he plays for Burnley but as we've seen on many occasions down the years players who play for clubs lower down in the Premier League or have played in the Football League/Conference etc can make the step up.
What I have seen, no pace, poor movement also 9 goals in 32 games is poor, no goals in his last 7 games
So far he has 41 in 125 which is a mid table player at best
9 goals in 32 league games is terrible tbh. Lacazette has 25 goals in 28 games and there's only a year between them (22 and 23).
Yes I agree it's not the best strike rate but look at the difference between the two clubs, Burnley are a team littered with Championship players punching above their weight in the Premier League but because they've got a fantastic young manager he's getting the best out of those players. Lyon on the other hand are one of the best sides in France so I don't think you can really compare the two.
If you ignore the fact that one was for a poor EPL team, and Lacazette plays in Ligue 1 and they only have a few teams to compete with.
Youd expect it to be higher, theres no comparison here
Best out of mediocre players, imo. Nothing special about Ings.
You'd expect it to be higher, but not that much higher. Also, there is a comparison. For instance, Charlie Austen plays in a side at the same level as the one Ings plays in, yet has managed almost twice the amount of goals and assists in 31 games than Ings has in 32. He's three years older, but still, a young striker signing for United should be something phenomenal -- like Kane or Lacazette. The only thing in Ings' favour is that he would cost very little and we could sell him the next season for a sizeable profit.

I think he's at a good age for LvG to mould.
I'm sure LvG will thing that his skill set "fits the profile" as he puts it, and isn't just taking a punt on a freebie and trying to get one up on the scousers.
He's a decent player. I can only imaging his hold up play is good though because LvG seems to rate that quality in a striker very highly. It's why he persisted with RvP for so long even when he was poor in other areas earlier in the season.

Can someone enlighten me as to why we are being linked with him ? He's looked like a quintessential, mildly anonymous mid table striker each time I've seen him.
I find it strange how negative some are towards Ings. No pace, for instance? I bet he is faster than RvP, Rooney and Falcao.
His goalratio is bot terrific, but nine goals and four assist for Burnley, totaling 26 all season is not as awful as some put it. Lacazette had 15 goals or so last year (at the same age) for a team like Lyon.
Look at the amount of goals for instance Didier Drogba, Diego Costa, Miroslav Klose, Robin van Persie or Christian Vieri scored at the same age, you will note that their record aint particulary impressive either. If Louis van Gaal recognize potential in Danny Ings I would not worry to much about his goal record.
Look, if we sign him, we sign him. If he becomes a United player I won't complain because obviously LvG wants him here for whatever reason, but if you're asking me now who I'd prefer, Dybala, Lacazette or Ings, the answer is either of the first two.
In my opinion he wouldn't be the worst signing.
Yes I like the look of Lacazette but to be honest, I want to continue with the formation we are playing now, which requires one striker. Rooney is that striker, and also the captain. When fit, he plays. That is simple.
Try and convince an up and coming striker like Lacazette, who is playing very well, to come here and sit on the bench.

Ridiculous. Who said it was the only thing that matters? Pace obviously isn't the most important thing but of course you need a bit of pace upfront. We have seen even this season how slow and static forwards can cause issues when there is no pace alternative to go with it.

Yeah because we will never have any injuries, we will never have to rotate, Rooney will never get injured or suspended and he would never have a bad run of form. I have no idea why some think we need to just settle. We should be trying to sign the best players in the World. Ings is a decent PL striker but, he is not the type we should be going for. He does nothing on a high level.
I've been quite surprised by how good a player he actually is this season. You often get strikers from lower down having a good season, but it is usually quite obvious that they aren't actually that good. It's a bit different with Ings though, he genuinely does look talented. If he'd put these performances in for Everton, for example, he'd be a lot more desirable to most on here I think.
You don't need pace to be a good forward, plenty of slow forwards have made it before and will in the future. The way some go on in here about pace you'd think its the be all and end all in a player, it's cringeworthy.
Ings available for compo money is a great deal
Possibly even as a fourth striker if we loan wilson out as well.
Worst case scenario you buy him for compo money and sell him for a profit
Best case we have a striker who can score hundreds of goals over the next decade
Hope we get him but Liverpool seem to be favourites

I'm sitting in a restaurant with Sean Dyche right now, half tempted to ask him about the Danny Ings rumours 
There's always one player every year who is really a bit shite that people seem to want to buy. He'll be a good signing for Everton over the likes of Kone or some other team such as them but come on, he isn't signing for us.

Do it!
No pace? Afraid to tell you mate but you've been watching the wrong player.
Seen as you posted the article you should try giving it a read. He doesn't demand anything. Everything he says is spot on and is the mentality you want to see in all young players.
