Is it likely Ings will be shipped out this summer? Seems a good lad but can't see him getting much game time.

{Ed002's Note - The club has made no efforts to sell him.}

Hope not, the lad deserves his chance, he's just been unlucky, could understand a loan deal but not selling him.

Worst case scenario a loan.

Lads come in realistically he will not play this season. He is 4th choice and we play with one forward. Should go on loan to get much needed game time.

Sakho, you don't know he will be 4th choice. Could force his way ahead of Origi and Studger could spend time injured if things go to form.

Sakho is Boss, we've got loads of games potentially this year, so he has a chance to get himself in contention.

I'm excited by our striking options this year, and keep forgetting about Ings.

We've got 5 different players who can play up top, all of whom offer different skills, not least Solanke who offers the element of suprise to a lot of our opponents who won't have played against him before. To be honest Ings offers some of that too as he hasn't played for so long!

I did think going in for Auba was a good shout, but in hindsight, we don't have a limitless pot of money, and I'd rather stick with what we have and ensure we get a LB, CB and possible CM of high quality.

I can see in getting some time to give lallana, mane or firminio a rest. I still think he'll be great and definitely a fan favorite!

We actually use three forward players. I know technically two are wingers but we don't always play that way. Injuries can happen and if ings stays fit should get a chance. Before all his injury worries he as tipped as future England star and was capped wasn't he? Could really surprise some I feel.

I fit Ings is a better option than Origi in my opinion and has far more to offer so hopefully he can keep fit and show what he's worth this season.

I don't understand the mentality of we already have 4 strikers so don't need anymore. if it's a upgrade get them. Ings and Origi are not good enough to push LFC to where they need to be so do something about it and go all out to get a top striker. Same with anywhere on the pitch if it's a improvement get them and sell what we don't need.

{Ed025's Note - im with you ruud..

But Ruud, how can you say Ings isn't good enough? he hasn't had the chance to prove exactly what he's worth. I sincerely think the lad will shock doubters if he stays at Liverpool this season.

Origi showed signs of utter class last season, granted not all season but he's young, still learning, still adapting to the PL. You can't write him off just yet, he's 22, got plenty of time to shine.

It's not as easy as selling players and just going out and buying them mate, we're not in cash converters.

Solanke I don't expect to see a great deal of him this season but I hope we do of course, he might be one of them who shocks the league for all we know, that's the thing we just don't know yet.

Sturridge, injury free (I know, for now) but if he stays fit, he could prove to be the best player we have. A fully fit Sturridge is a top class striker, he will bang in goals for fun.

I don't believe buying a new striker will do anything for us, I'd rather go on the 4 lads above and see what they can do. Each to their own of course mate.

You've also got to think, it's not just the choice of strikers we already have, we've got Firmino, Coutinho, *Salah*, Mane who will also be scoring for fun.

Priority is defensive issues, not a striker, we're fine up there.

I think your looking at it through rose tinted glasses teabag, I feel sorry for Ings but he's never been good enough for LFC but now with his knee injury history he will never be the same. At the minute Origi is not going to improve us and Sturridge's body has we all know is unfortunately not up to it.

You don't win anything without a top striker so it's time to get ruthless and get rid of the dead wood.

With Salah, mane, firminio and couts as first team starters where exactly we going to play an expensive striker? No top player will come to be a bit part player.

No one knows how or in what shape Ings will be after coming back from his third devastating knee injury in his career (second in two straight years) so the more pressing question is, will he be able to prove his fitness before you can even say if he will be an option for us or go out on loan to get games and further his development there. That is the question.

15.) 14 Jul 2017

the thing with Ings for me, is I absolutely admire his attitude to get fit etc, but I'm yet to see anything that would lead be to believe he could lead the line for a team with aspirations of winning a league/ being champions league regulars at the very least. Whilst I'm not saying I don't believe he is capable, he's had a torrid time with injuries which surely will have taken their toll, and we've all had very limited exposure to his abilities, so surely a loan makes absolute sense. He needs to show us the injuries haven't impacted him and get a full season under his belt.

{Ed025's Note - i like ings clarkey, but if your talking winning the league and doing well in the CL then an upgrade on him is paramount mate..

Saying a player has got plenty of time to shine is rubbish. All layers have plenty of time to shine but how long do we give them. Liverpool want to be challenging for the league and cups now not when players eventually start to shine which could be 2,3,4 years. If a player out there is better than Origi is now and is available for a decent price, why shouldn't we go for them.
