Danny Ings | Signs for Liverpool (lol)

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.
Whats even worse is that Ings is one of the fastest forwards in the league.
 
I still cant figure out whether he's really quick or just gives off the impression that he is because of his scampery short stride running style which you normally only see with players a lot smaller than him
 
Give us some factual evidence then, rather than saying he is one of the fastest strikers in the league. Facts are always better than opinions.
 
Maybe something like his top mph. You know, some evidence. You could be right but i very much doubt it. A chart of the fastest strikers would be good.

Why are you asking him for proof? Would be nice if you can furnish something yourself.

He is not very quick but has decent pace for a a striker. But is he good enough for United, I personally don't think so. LvG knows best, I guess.
 
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.

It seems based off 3 things, he's free, English and had a decent game against us at Old Trafford. The other notion was that he'd be content to sit on the bench as Rooney's inexpensive rest option, but his latest comments seem to suggest he'd not be interested in that.
 
It was Colback a few seasons ago, can't remember who was flavour of the year last year and now Ings. He is shite! He should be happy Sociedad are interested.
 
It does not matter if he was a champion 400m runner in his youth. It still will not make him good enough for United.
 
Just another overrated British lad who isn't particularly good and/or is really midtable quality. There's been so many over the years, you could even make a half decent team...

Butland
Walker Richards Caulker Davies
Colback Rodwell Delph
Townsend Ings Zaha

Subs: Lennon, Wright-Phillips, Allen, Britton, Austin, Rose, Sinclair, Cleverley, Mason, Sidwell, Naughton, Shelvey, Adam, Wilson, Moses
 
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.
Same here. I've seen him at least 6-7 times and he has been impressive despite the lack of quality around him. I don't think he has an absurdly high ceiling, but would be a valuable squad player. Even if it didn't work out, we would have no trouble finding a buyer for him.
 
i wonder if his name was Danielio Ingslesio would people rate him more.

Maybe if his name was Leonardo Ulloa people would rate him... Or not. We should be going after top bracket talent regardless of nationality. We should not go after players because they do not cost too much and could be sold for a profit. I would rather us give Wilson the playing time then bring in Ings.

Who's to say he's not going to be top bracket?
 
The sky is green, don't ask for proof. He isn't one of the fastest strikers in the league, and like you said he isn't good enough for us.

What a fecking daft request, asking for mph ffs. Read a few interviews with players who've played with and against him. They all say he's quick.

Failing that, try using your eyes the next time he's playing.
 
Rooney, RvP, Ings, would work for 4-3-3 I suppose, hardly an eye catching signing though.

But sometimes the 'meh' signings are the good one, Blind this season springs to mind, happy for him to join and prove me wrong.

Let's have a wager then. If Ings signs for any of the top 5 teams for any of the top four leagues then I'll give Melvin (from the general thread) £100, if he doesn't you do the same. It's not like Opta record statistics like top mph either so it is easy to find ;)

Given how much he has been linked with Liverpool you had better hope they finish below spurs / southampton

I know that, he isn't going to Liverpool either. Paper talk is nothing. Let's see if Pogue is up for it. Talking shite my arse, and my eyes are just dandy.
 
:lol: I've no intention of making bets with random people off the internet about where players end up. That would be fecking daft. I only posted in this thread today to mock the ridiculous idea that footballers have a specific mph you can quote. That and to point out that Danny Ings is quick. Because he is, obviously.
 
Anyone who's seen him play, he's got nothing in his game that can make him a top bracket striker
Anyone that's seen him play eh? Someone better ring LVG and tell him to watch match of the day on BBCi player.

I'll bet you £1million, feck it £2million.

Why do you assume Van Gaal actually wants to sign him? There is a lot of silly rumors over the year. Welcome to the transfer forum.

Who knows if he does or not, but if he is then I'm happy to trust his judgement.

Why don't you take me up on the offer then?

Yeah, he is lightning quick, everyone is talking about how rapid he is. Boots must be rolling it in considering how many people can't see in this country.

I have, for £2 million

You are free to do that but, personally I think the discussion on here would not be interesting if we all blindly followed whatever the manager did.

That is more plausible than Danny Ings being fecking quick.

Don't footballers have their mph recorded these days? Is that what you are saying?

The feck are you on about now? Step away from the computer. You're losing it.

Aye, when we compare the fastest players in the WC we don't have statistics like mph to back up the fact that they are the quickest. When we look at the fastest players in the league we don't look at mph. We just look with our eyes and say he is pretty quick.
