I really hoped when we got relegated in 24/25 that we would bounce back up straight away and we would go on to see the best of him for us in the Premier League. The fee is decent enough now we’re in League One, but it’s ashame it’s transpired how it has.

Think it’s more just that given the circumstances at 1-0, he could have been useful against Argentina in retaining the ball. That and Man United fans.

That’d look well nice in blue and gold

A lot of Ings’ game relied on his quick movement over 5/10 yards (prior to his big injury at Liverpool, during his time at Burnley it was over a longer distance), now he’s lost that he hasn’t really got much threat. He’ll get marked out of most games. We’ll face a lot of low blocks this season and I don’t think a shorter, slow striker is key to breaking them down in League 1. You need a physical focal point, really. If he’s used as a sub or plays off another forward with that profile then maybe his finishing ability will be useful, but I don’t want to see him leading the line as a lone striker from the start this season.

Players trajectories are the concern with transfers like this and Ings - they’re only going to get worse. Plus, I would personally have liked to see a preference for pace and power in this window, but doesn’t look like that’s being prioritised so far.

For Leicester City, not your Sunday League team New balance are alright, the other 3 make awful kits.

Better alternatives?

Hopefully will be Nike next

Will be Ayew mark 2, legs have gone.

I think he’ll be an England international by the time he’s 21

Birmingham FA Cup and I think Millwall (also in FA Cup) under Enzo Maresca he done well, I think last season his struggles were exacerbated by those around him. Stolarczyk similar. Both come into the side, looked good, then struggled as time went on.

I imagine the people who are (rightly) annoyed by it aren’t the same people buying season tickets

Yeah, hopefully we’ll be playing Swansea, Cardiff and Wrexham next season.

I do think some people have decided they don’t like him because they’ve been told not to, rather than actually knowing much about him/his teams.

Just makes no sense Leuven selling to middling European teams for c. £10m then that team selling for £30-40m. We could have paid the same as what Antwerp did for Keita then sold him for what Parma will now get.
