Hi eds now that Burnley are down do you expect Ings future to be determined quickly?

{Ed002's Note - It is nothing to do with Burnley. Ings can take as long as he wants to decide. Right now he can talk with non EPL clubs directly.}

Ings is too risky for me. You have to remember we are talking about a guy that has shone for Burnley, with the key word being 'Burnley' - who just got relegated.
On the flip side he is only 22, and so has the chance to progress. He would also be costly because he is young and English, which makes him too high a risk.
If we could get him cheaply, as in under £10m, then he would be a great player for a backup striker - maybe to replace Lambert.
We would however still need another 2 top players like Higuain, Lacazette, etc. to replace Mario and Sturridge (whilst injured of course).
Will they join us? Not if they have other choices.
It's going to be a tough summer chaps!

{Ed002's Note - I think an offer of £10M for Ings would eb successful.}

Kevman- you are aware Ings is available on a free?? We would only have to pay a compensatory fee of a few mil to get him. You know that don't ya?!
I think Ed02 might be teasing ya a bit with the reply.

Question for you Ed002 in regards to him not being able to talk directly with EPL clubs as I don't really understand the rules. For instance, are Liverpool and Burnley able to talk to each other about him? Are Liverpool allowed to deal with his agent etc? Or is it that Ings himself can't specifically talk to us directly? As I said I don't understand what allowed ad what isn't. Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - The discussion with Burnley is only about compensation and not about the player.

The player can talk directly with non-EPL clubs from January on, but not with Liverpool or any other interested sides in England. Liverpool can however talk with his agent, and have been doing so - and there is very strong interest as I have explained.}
