Ed001 I've noticed the potential signing of Ings is dividing opinion with the fans. I think a lot of the negativity comes from him playing for a "small club" no disrespect to burnley, but when push comes to shove 10 goals in a team that doesn't create much and battled for relegation all season doesn't seem that bad. Although a lot of people are unimpressed with that return and believe a decent striker should of scored more but let's not forget that Sturridge only bagged 12 or something close to that figure at Bolton and look how that turned out.
Anyway I was wondering what your opinion on the player is? Would he turn out to be a decent signing or would you avoid him?

{Ed001's Note - I am not convinced by him, he was scared to take penalties for Burnley, he lost his head in January, and he scored no more than Borini managed in a team that created a lot less chances. I see no reason to add him other than his pace. It is a pointless acquisition. He is a lower end Prem player.}

Sturridge got 8 in 12 at Bolton if my memory is correct an average return of 2 in 3 is good even over such a small amount of games

If you spin it a bit ed001, he might know he's not very good at penalties and better players than him at them are willing to step up. I'm not sure of Ings penalty record but on the few occasions I have seen him I think he looks a lot better than Borini, he looks quicker with a better touch but this could be easily down to Borini never getting a chance

{Ed001's Note - he just didn't want to take them in case he messed up, that is lacking character for me. If he had been a defender or midfielder, that is different, but a top striker should always back himself to score one on one with a keeper from 12 yards out, with the whole goal to aim at.}

Totally agree ed, and on top of that he is taking the place of a yesil or smith or sinclair. And honestly i think yesil is a better footballer than him too. We have origi, that should be enough in terms of youth acquisitions. Its time to buy real quality to support sturridge and i think higuain is a good shout too ed01, not got lots of pace but has a lot of football intelligence and is a good finisher who will score 15 to 20 a season.

I really don't see the point in a youth system with fsg transfer policy, makes no sense at all.

He is taking the place of Smith?? Smith the LB who is refusing to stay at the club?? Lol
Or Yesil who is about to sign for Fenerbache? Or Sinclair who is going on loan to the championship?

You guys are talking about Ings like if he is from Burnleys academy or just broke through over there, 11 PL goals and 5 assists this season.
The season before that he scored 26 goals and had 8 assists.
and that was the season he became a starter for Burnley. 37 goals and 13 assists in his last 2 seasons and he only just turned 22. For the price, there is no risk what so ever, and he is not taking away a place from an academy player, they are far far off his level right now, maybe if Sinclair bangs in 20 goals in the championship next season he deserves to get his chances at Liverpool, because i remember a certain who Adam Morgan who was hyped as **** but can't even get a game i league 1. So. Ings welcome to Liverpool and good luck!

{Ed001's Note - SInclair is nothing like Morgan.}

i completly know that ed. My point was until those players play competetive football we won't know if they are ready to play for us. Sinclair is just 18 and deserves to play regular football at a lower level first imo. I wish Sinclair would have gotten a couple of full games this seasn but BR doesn't play youth, its a myth.

{Ed001's Note - I do agree with you, though not about Ings. He is a decent enough player at the lower end of the Prem, but that's all he is. Added to his injury problems, which caused him to end up at Burnley in the first place, and I just think he is a big risk with a lack of character.}

02 Jun 2015 12:02:00
I won't argue with you about Ings ed because your knowledge of such things is beyond amazing, but if we sign him hopefully he can kick on a level or 2.

{Ed001's Note - I always hope players joining us will prove me wrong, fingers crossed he is one who does, if he does take up our offer.}

02 Jun 2015 12:14:57
Dont you agree though ed that Benteke is a far bigger risk? I can't even understand why we are linked with him? (unless big sam is our new manager) heeeehee

{Ed001's Note - fully agree, Benteke's attitude stinks as well as being the wrong kind of player.}

02 Jun 2015 12:34:55
Am i right in saying Dalglish didn't like taking penalties?

{Ed001's Note - not the same thing, he just never took them, Ings was the penalty taker then decided not to take them any more in case he missed and Burnley went down.}

02 Jun 2015 12:46:59
Benteke is another balotelli, youngish overrated and lazy we spent 16 mill plus fees on balotelli so it wouldn't surprise me if BR is in charge that he spends double that on an equally poor player, if he does stay and he signs him, its shows a complete lack of learning on his part.

02 Jun 2015 14:59:43
Ed is right and I`ve said that Ings is not what we need but if he comes and is ready to fight for the club then i will support him because if he succeeds, we all succeed.
