[Albion] Danny Ings to Villa

[hart's shirt]

Didn't Southampton concede most of those goals in one game? - again.

There's a lot to be said for consistency.

Either way, losing Ings and bringing back a 32 year old Walcott on a free isn't likely to cause defenders to go into extra training.

 

[Swansman]

They are the highest net spenders in the last three years. Good for them to have that money. Good and disgusting.

 

[dwayne]

Over priced and likely to be injured for large parts of the season, but will score when fit.

34 goals in 69 games over the last 2 seasons. With at least 3 good seasons left. 30 million is an absolute bargain.

Oh I didn't realise they were slamming their transfer window shut now.

Before Ben white was sold we were one of the highest net spenders in the league..... Hardly disgusting.

Yes but £30m isn’t the entirety of the expenditure.

He’s probably been offered insanely high wages which we can’t compete with.

Your wasting your breath mate

£30 m for a injury-prone 29 year old and a 3 year contract on sky-high wages?If Watkins was such a brilliant signing why do they need him?

Thank God for Tony Bloom and the fact we have sensible football people runnin OUR club

Before anyone says it,yes i am a Licker!!

The definition of insanity…. Yet again we fail to get a striker in. Yes there’s still time but they are almost certainly going to miss the first game and maybe the second. Two games in which we could really look to take maximum points.

I don’t care what anyone says anymore about Tony knows what he’s doing and he is sensible with money. We have known since before the Euros we were likely to get circa £50m for a player that cost us nothing and yet a week before the season starts here we are with no new striker again. It’s getting ridiculous.

Last season we got Danny Welbeck in. He's a striker. The previous summer we got Neal Maupay in. He's a striker (sort of). The one before that, Percy Tau. Before that, Andone. And they're all still here. We get strikers in, just not ones that people seem to like.

Talk is contact is 125-150k a week. Wages we wouldn’t compete with. He will be 32 when contract is up with no real sell on value. Costing villa close to 50 million over the contract with the fee. Great player if he’s fit but just isn’t the business model we follow.

Thought he’d go to a bigger / better club / team than that. Cilla just splash the cash for the fun of it - can’t compete with them and West Ham in the market I’m afraid.

Some of us are old enough to remember when Villa won the European Cup. Which Man City have never done ...

Ings is a brilliant player. Of course we all know that. But if those wage figures are even close to being true how can anyone criticise Tony for not paying that?

That’s how clubs gets ruined.

Ings is what you’d call “fast money”. We’re making slow and steady strides on and off the pitch and this would not be a prudent deal for Brighton and Hove Albion football club.

If I was Tony Bloom, I think I'd be tempted to tell you to go f@@k yourself. I'm sure he's too polite to do that though.

Calm down for goodness sake.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Can I just point out that all the ITK makers-up of transfer rumours failed to predict this deal? And yet people are willing to believe clickbait hunters over proper journalists.

To think Villa finished fourth from bottom season before last. The Villans must be feeling quite smug.

Even then that position was mainly thanks to goal line tech system not working. Would have been relegated if that Blades goal was correctly awarded.

Just not ones that score a lot of goals unfortunately.

Hardly.

They have 100m burning in their back pocket. Still a great deal for them but obviously not our kind of deal which is fine.

Those clickbait hunters all predicted Tammy Abraham would be on his way to Villa.

How long before they start linking him to us?

 

[The Fits]

Not a chance. They’re a huge club and loaded.

 

[el punal]

Either thats happened very quickly or Villa being tight lipped. Would like to see us get some signings over the line soon, otherwise we start to fall behind. Cucurella and a striker before the season starts would be nice, any others not so urgent.

I’m not surprised by the move. Ings has wanted out for some time although I never thought a “big six” club would go for him, so Villa are ideal in that sense (as maybe Everton or West Ham). The gamble, of course, is that Ings is prone to injury so it could all turn to rat shit.

Ward-Prowse will be the next Saint to go, to Villa as well, so our south coast neighbours could really be in the do-dos next season.
