Tom Ince

TOM INCE is set to follow in his father’s footsteps and sign for Manchester United in a £4million January deal.
SunSport understands dad Paul has been trying to push the move through.
The former United midfielder spoke with Alex Ferguson earlier this week in a bid to get the 20-year-old Blackpool ace to Old Trafford.
And his intervention appears to have done the trick, with the switch on course for the New Year transfer window.
England Under-21 player Ince has been on fire for the Seasiders this season, scoring six times in eight games.
He moved to Blackpool from Liverpool only last summer and his two-year deal is due to expire at the end of the current campaign.
But Fergie wants him in as soon as possible and is confident of tying everything up in the next two weeks.
Ince Snr, 44, played more than 200 times for United between 1989 and 1995, winning two Premier League titles.

The Sun seem very sure that he'll sign for us. Also the fact that his contract expires in the next summer, could be a good, cheap signing for us.
 
Would be really pleased with this.

Seems to have a certain swagger and confidence about him, and has great dribbling ability

IAN Holloway described reports of a deal to sell Tom Ince to Manchester United as “rubbish”.

The 21-year-old winger has been in the form of his life this season, firing six goals in seven games.

His form earned him an England U21 call-up and interest from a number of Premier League clubs, with one report claiming a bid had been received from Old Trafford.

But Holloway blasted: “It’s absolute rubbish.

“The way Tom’s playing, the best clubs in the world might want him at the end of the season. Manchester United are one of those but I’m sure they would be talking to me first.

“If they were going to buy Ince I would know before anyone. I can assure you it’s all total speculation.”
 
Not wanting to be an arsehole but failing to get Hazard and Lucas, then to sign him is not looking very good to me.
 
If he signs, he'll have to follow the family tradition and pose with a united shirt whilst he's still a Blackpool player.

Well sorry, but it makes you look an arsehole Ismail.

He's a young English talent. Hazard and Lucas have nothing to do with any of this.

That's the worst part. Nowadays the English talents are simply not good. Of course that generalizing things is not a good thing.

Anyway, I haven't even heard for him till about a week ago, and are we signing him for width or to be a starter. Seriously, is he that good to replace (or upgrade) Nani and Valencia. Really I am tired of signing average players (like Young last season) just to add depth, be them English or not.

You're a bit touched aren't you?
 
What's that supposed to mean?

Point proven.

He's a very good young English player, has bags of skill, he's quick, very intelligent, and was born in 1992 for God's sake, he's an England u21 international as well, SAF is building for the future, I would be delighted with this signing, tell me, where you upset when we signed Nick Powell?

Ashley Young played 32 games for us last season, and scored 8 goals and layed on 12, so he was involved in a goal every 1.5 games, almost every game he started.

He doesn't start eery game, because we have Nani, Valencia, Kagawa, Rooney, Van Persie, Hernandez, Welbeck and Powell fighting for a total of four positions.

I don't see how you can be so negative over such a low risk transfer, you'd probably have a wank fest if his name was Incinho.

We'll be signing him much the way we signed Nick Powell. To grow at the club and hopefully be involved in the first team.

This isn't someone that would make any kind of impact immediately. He would be one for the future.

He has palyed 1 time for U21 squad of England despite being 20 years old. OX for example is a senior player despite being younger than him. No, I wasn't upset when we signed Powell, but I wasn't that much excited too because I haven't seen him playing and I didn't know how good is he, which I still don't.

I am no convinced that young is United's quality, simple as that. Yes he is a good player I agree, but I doubt that he would have played many games with us in 2007-2009 when we had that team. If we are going to be again best team in the world, then signing Young quality players is not the solution.

I am not that much negative, I am just saying that I am sceptic in this transfer.

And yes, if he had that name I would have probably be more excited, but that's only because English players are lacking the quality, be it because they have dinosaur coaches, shit academy instructors or whatever reasons.
 
Tom Ince was a part of Liverpool's academy and as much as it pains me to say that, they've a good very youth setup for last five-six years(Benitez's best work there IMO).

I am surprised of this. Who is their best player of that academy? Probably Martin Kelly.

The coaches their are probably very, very good. Remember they nicked them off Barcelona. Tbf when you see players like Suso, Sterling and Jack Robinson, it's not a surprise.

All of them may not be of Liverpool's academy but all of them have had good coaching.

Only the bolded one have prove something that they can actually become top players. Many of them are not even playing in Premier League. Thing is that for a league this strong, native players are very shit.
 
Incinho would be a shit name in fairness.

I'd rather we signed Incaldo.

True, or Inchamovic.

Surely Incinez is the player we needed in the last summer window?

I've not really got a strong view one way or the other - it appears he'll be cheap and if his father is as involved with his career as some have said then we should be able to move him on when Paul inevitably starts acting the cnut. On the other hand he could be a genius signing that will win us the treble every year until he surpasses Giggs in appearances, which would make the whole signing worthwhile.

I don't see this standing in the way of signing a central-midfielder (that comes down to Sir Alex not being interested in such players), but it might kill some muppet chances of us signing someone like DDG's friend Iker Muniain when we inevitably end-up losing Nani for far less than he's worth.

Incey is a quality youngster.. Seen him in the play off Semi-finals against Birmingham and was a class above anyone else. If anything being a Liverpool reject is going against him and the fact he plays nothing like Pops... Lets not forget many top plays have been rejects and made it big at another equally big club.
 
Honest answers only; Is he really that good? Sometimes people suddenly rate players because we are interested, but since we apparently aren't interested then you can tell the truth.

Honest answer, he looks shit on YouTube and I've never signed him on FIFA or FM, so I'd say he's shit. Do not want.I've no clue, I've never seen him play. I do know his Da is a cnut, mind.
 
Holloway in the Mirror today saying Tom Ince will be remembered in the same breath as his Dad when he retires. Considering Ollie compared Charlie Adam to Xavi when he was selling him (haha KKD for buying into it)..... I think the slap head is being a business man again and trying to squeeze every of penny out of Fergie.
In saying that Tom Ince looks like he could be moulded into a top player with the right guidance

Manchester United have stepped up their interest in Blackpool winger Tom Ince, Sky Sports understands.

United have been keeping tabs on the progress of Ince, who is the son of former Red Devils midfielder Paul Ince.

Ince's future at Blackpool has been the subject of speculation for some time with the 20-year-old out of contract at the end of the season.

The England Under 21 international has impressed at Bloomfield Road since arriving from Liverpool in the summer of 2011 and was the subject of a bid from Swansea in the summer transfer window.

Ince has scored six goals in eight Championship games this term and his form has caught the attention of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Ferguson ran the rule over Ince during Saturday's clash against Charlton at Bloomfield Road as he weighs up a move in January for the fleet-footed attacker.

However, Ferguson would have been disappointed to see Ince start the game on the bench before coming on in the second half for Ian Holloway's men.

Holloway is keen to keep hold of Ince, but knows they would find it hard to reject a sizeable offer for the skilful winger in the January transfer window.

I'd argue that the Championship is a good league to spot young talent in since it is so competitive. If you're throwing in young players at the deep end of it and they perform well then they could have a bright future. What kills some of our talent is when they move to a top club and aren't played.

Plus that all those players have shown that they have the potential to be top 4 squad players at least. (Others i've not seen/don't think are good enough)

:wenger: even someone qualified to judge them all wouldnt make such a stupid statement. Have you seen much of Barkley ?

Also Lansbury shouldnt be anywhere near that list.

So you don't think we should sign anybody that isn't a proven player.

So no Ronaldo, Nani, Evra, Vidic, Smalling, Rafael, Fabio, Hernandez?

I guess unproven foreign players with a good youTube video are OK.

Tomas Incinho > Tom Ince.

Was just about to ask what in Gods name Lansbury was doing on the list.

No, I never said that, only that we don't have a clue about how good can become many of them. I can bet right now that half of them will never be great players.

Also, call me anything but after we failed to sign two of the biggest prospects in the world (Hazard and Lucas), both of them who have potential to become best in the world (or at-least in Top 10 players), I am feeling reserved for signing a young English player who plays in Championship.
 
Only seen highlights from him, but he seems like a fantastic talent. I have no idea why Liverpool let him go.

If we do sign him, it'll be to replace Nani if he does leave - and before anyone starts, Valencia replaced Ronaldo pretty damn well in terms of being a right winger so I don't believe in the "IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN, THE DROP IN QUALITY IS THERE"
 
Blackpool fans I've been talking seem to think he is a good player...but not a top level one...

They could be wrong I am sure.

Valencia replaced Ronaldo good but there is the drop on quality for everyone to see. If him will replace Nani the same thing is going to happen, and I am a little afraid that we are doing the same thing as Pool did, replacing great players with players that are one-level above. In fact if we sell Nani, then I would like to go for someone like Muniain or Goetze, not Ince.

If I remember rightly, he wanted guarantees of 1st team football. Considering we've got quite a few talented youngsters coming through, he was never going to get it.

I'm pleased he's done well at Blackpool. Jon Jo Shelvey had a successful loan spell there last year & has come back a better player. He's certainly worth a punt. But it's a massive leap from playing in The Championship to playing for a side that regularly challenges for one of the biggest leagues in the world. Like Shelvey though, he's got bags of confidence, so I doubt he'd be fazed at all by playing in front of 76,000 people every other week. In fact it could be the making of him.

Indeed.
