Doesn't surprise me.
If we were a bit more established in the PL with other proven PL strikers in the squad the risk would be more acceptable.
But Broken Baldock and Ings in our 5 strikers ? Not for me.
The risk is that the place in the 25 is locked in.
Send him back, fine. But you are not allowed a replacement in the 25 until January. Even if you can find an out of contract striker.
It wouldn't be risk free if he breaks down injured once the 25 man squad is locked in and the transfer window closed.
The same for any player, but surely the risk is higher with Ings ???
