I'm not in any way ITK, but I'm guessing Ings is a fallback option should Hobbs fails to get primary targets.
This is where I am at. I think Adams/Ings are options but we have a primary target in mind. Perhaps Dia or the kid from PSG. I am happy with having a few irons in the fire. Ings while he is not an ideal solution in terms of mobility, certainly knows where the net is and in those games where we struggle for cutting edge, he could be very very handyI'm not in any way ITK, but I'm guessing Ings is a fallback option should Hobbs fails to get primary targets.
You win some and you lose some . We should receive close to £90 million for those two, and look at the team today . Doing nicely and no FFP issues.Just imagine if we still had Gibbs-White and Jota......we would be way up the league. Disastrous transfer policy in that period.

I thought he'd had more injuries recently than this. So that's a positive
Wouldn't want to be paying his full wages, especially with him not being a guaranteed starter.

Massively unlikely to me. GON likes a dynamic front line that presses and is otherwise constantly on the move. Seems illogical for him to bomb out a more old-school forward in Sasa to replace him with Ings who rarely leaves the penalty area.

Even worse that an uninjured Ings gets no game time for a team missing a striker forcing Bowen to play at their 9.
The very definition of certifiable insanity!

Depends how you look at it - since 2015/16 he has missed 123 games. 8.5 seasons so over 14 games per season or almost 40% of games.View attachment 39631

Murillo is the exception - he looks like an absolute steal. Moot point anyway - he's our captain and playing very well currently. He knows the club, know the premier league, can play the way O'Neil wants him to play and is worth more to us than the risk of selling him to finance someone who 'might' offer all of those things at some pointI'm not sure you could. Look at transfers for CB's in the summer window
Timber £34m
Torres £33m
Collins £23m
Igor £15m
Beyer £13m
O'Shea £7m
Disasi £38.8m
Bassey £19m
Gvardiol £77.6m
Omobamidele £20m
Murillo £12m
Trusty £5m
Van de Ven £34.5m
Mavropanos £17m
Out of these who in the up to £20m bracket would be a noticeable upgrade on Kilman, or even the same level?
Or 10 points deducted?Just imagine if we still had Gibbs-White and Jota......we would be way up the league. Disastrous transfer policy in that period.
True but his strike rate has fallen off a cliff altogether since joining West Ham for whom he's scored 2 league goals in 27 games, both coming in a 4-0 drubbing of Forest.He got 8 last season and 7 the season before?
Couldn't we take a punt on Emmanuel Dennis on loan as a back up option.......granted he ain't done a lot at forest but was ok for Watford....
I kind of agree but we need to sell players in order to become self sustainable and keep ahead of FFP. I love our players and want to keep them but we've just let Adama leave for free when we could have got £40m for him a few years back. There's got to be a happy medium.There's something I find unsettling about the whole do well here and half the fans will want to flog you to sign 3 unknowns who are dead good on football manager thing.
I don't mind him as a player. A bit past it maybe and a bit injury prone. On loan is fine, I just don't want to own him.
He's probably ahead of Fabio's level right now and probably more of a fit for the style of football than Sasa, so having him in the squad probably makes us better than the first half of the season.
Loan fee and wages for 6 months might be £5m? We probably aren't going to be able to buy a player that improves the squad for that price.
He's nobody's first choice, but a straight loan wouldn't be the end of the world.

Fussy bunch on here aye we.....that's the problem....we only want em to run around for a few months, they aye gotta be Mother Theresa.....In the Spence camp of being a terrible person and hugely disruptive influence.
Thank god, no way we should pursuing Ings.
Especially to sit on the bench125k wages and they want it all its ****ing madness we click yes and go on that

This is why deals often drag on till the end of the window.125k wages and they want it all its ****ing madness we click yes and go on that
Funnily enough I just looked at the attacking players Moyes has had at West Ham and most have flopped. And they've had some talented players. Scamacca, Haller, Vlasic, CornetI'd rather we go for Cornet at West Ham than Ings. Did really well at Burnley but never really done much at West Ham but can play across the three and is quick. Maybe try a loan for him.
Could play in Rayan position as well....but has only just come back from injury..but agreeI'd rather we go for Cornet at West Ham than Ings. Did really well at Burnley but never really done much at West Ham but can play across the three and is quick. Maybe try a loan for him.
