BKLFox Posted 9 July Posted 9 July Where’s the big ‘if’ coming from with regards to staying injury free? I think people’s minds are set for when he was at Liverpool and suffered the back-back knee issues but this was in 2015 & on his return from that in 2016. In the past 5yrs for instance he has missed only 11 games due to injury 🤷♂️
Grebfromgrebland Posted 9 July Posted 9 July What not to like? Striker, could score in a previous life, 1 year, played 20 times last season, probably has the right mentality which we need right now. 1
FoxinNotts Posted 9 July Posted 9 July We really are Southampton Light, aren't we! Wtf is that all about 🤣

Good grief While people like K789 exist, the club will continue to make these "name" signings that don't help the squad at all. People on here would praise the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo in L1 because its a big name but he'd flop because he's ancient. Hopefully doesnt stunt the progress of our youth forwards coming through but won't hold my breath because he's probably got a clause where he has to play like Ayew! Deary me!

Someone who scores goals Our 2 former shit bags scored more in a relegated team Edited 9 July by HankMarvin

From what I could see, he mainly came off the bench for Sheff Utd (granted, that doesn't make this signing any more exciting!) https://www.sofascore.com/football/player/danny-ings/130181 Chatgpt puts it like this, using Sofascore stats
foxtillidrop Posted 9 July Posted 9 July Could be a good signing, like when we signed Kevin Phillips and he can coach the likes of Evans... 1

The Doctor Posted 9 July Posted 9 July I mean the most experienced striker we've got at the club currently is Jake Evans, who's 17 and played like 10 games on loan at Northampton for his entire senior career. A 1 year deal for a senior pro doesn't feel that bad in context, but I still wouldn't want him to be our main man. 4
Officer Doofy Posted 9 July Posted 9 July Just now, moore_94 said: The issue is they would cost a transfer fee, which we probably can’t pay I bet it would be less than Ings wages.
HankMarvin Posted 9 July Posted 9 July Just now, FoxinNotts said: Best news from that article is that Vesty looks done here Not so great having to pay up his contract/settlement though
leicesterlad1989 Posted 9 July Posted 9 July Hopefully signed as the "experienced" striker, which we have done successfully previously. Dickov last time we were in League 1. Phillips and GTF in Championship. If he's signed as the "new" Ayew then we are ****ed. 2 1
County Fox Posted 9 July Posted 9 July 2 minutes ago, moore_94 said: The issue is they would cost a transfer fee, which we probably can’t pay Agreed - although I do wonder if we will pay for one (main) striker, albeit not to the level of a Ballard - maybe around 2 million for someone like Wareham

When we signed Kevin Phillips we already had Vardy, Nugent and Chris Wood. You just know this will be the only striker we sign and we'll be otherwise reliant on Evans and Hutchinson. 1
Lesta Legend Posted 9 July Posted 9 July I guess this type of signing is fine like Kevin Philips was if he is merely complementing your main strikers pushing them and providing good leadership. They usually come in at the end of the window when the squad is set and you’ve got actual strikers. I’ve a bad feeling about this. Why if this isn’t an agency signing have we not signed up the multitude of free agents across the globe. i feel like we’re struggling to move on the players that must be sold so the last week of the window for whatever we can getwith a yet again ill prepared squad seems like it’ll be repeated. For the sake of the club I do hope it gets better than this if the clown thinks this is how you promote from a tough league.
adam Posted 9 July Posted 9 July (edited) Old, always injured, big wage and not scorrd many for years. Nice one John. Edited 9 July by adam
