Welcome to LFC Danny Ings. He is definitely a better option than Balotelli, Borini and Lambert and will hopefully help us to achieve our targets next season. With the capture of Milner and Ings, the window is starting to look very bright.

He has to be.
Just looking at his goal numbers, he's about a 1 in 3 merchant so far.
Not bad for a young lad.
Hopefully he will get into double figures this coming year with Liverpool and that in itself will be an undeniable improvement from the season gone.

Looking forward to seeing him play as an inverted false wing back.

I will get behind him, but I'm not sure what makes him a better option than any of the above 3. Borini's scoring ratio at Roma was better and at Sunderland may have come close. Balotellis at City/Milan was better as was Lamberts. Aspas record at Celta or Seville has been decent.

My point is, Brendan Rodgers last season was notoriously poor at getting the best out of strikers that can hit double figures at smaller clubs (or in the case of Balotelli big clubs).

I fear he will not be used to full effect under Rodgers. So actually I guess my doubt lays at Rodgers feet rather than Ings. Let's hope I'm wrong!

Imred, he's stronger and quicker than Borini, and more mobile / hardworking than Balotelli.
So he should be a better fit for the side.
That's a start.

You need to look at how many of Balotelli's goals were pens before you start throwing stats around.

Great signing! Better than what we have. Still think we need a more experienced forward to lead the line together with Ings. Good start to the summer!

My point was Johnnyr, that Aspas, Balotelli, Borini, Lambert were all better strikers before they came to Liverpool and that their record at Liverpool is completely at odds with their scoring records at other clubs.

Look at the argument rather than fixating on one area.

08 Jun 2015 15:22:39
I agree with you imred. I think balotelli, lambert and borini scored about 46 goals between them last season before coming back to liverpool. Unfortately the coach couldn't mould the team to their strengths.

08 Jun 2015 18:55:14
I very much doubt it, Lallana suffered with injuries but we come back a better player next season as if Sterling leaves than he will step in on the left.

08 Jun 2015 19:48:31
None of the players named above are good enough for this team if we're being honest with ourselves. Jury still out on Ings but Balotelli, Borini, Lambert and Aspas are/were a collective waste of well over £30m. Quoting their past records in different teams/countries means nothing, they have failed to do enough in the red shirt to justify a permanent place in the team.

I think that if we had had Ings at the beginning of the season we may well have achieved top 4.

He is a far better fit to our "style" of play (although I have begun to doubt what that actually is. ) than any of the current (fit) strikers.

The issue for me are (1) the reduced opportunities for Sinclair and (2) what then is the role for Origi ? There are now three strikers behind Sturridge and that is without Lambert, Aspas, Borini and Balotelli. I can't see another being brought in.

09 Jun 2015 10:26:01
I think he's a load of crap and we should set the bar a lot higher, just my opinion

09 Jun 2015 10:41:42
Sinclair will go on loan for the season.

As stated, the club want a striker than can score 20 goals a season and that's not what Ings or Origi were signed for. Ings will be 1st-team squad and Origi will be given time and eased in, if we sign another striker. Sturridge can't be relied on because of injuries. Borini, Aspas & Balotelli will leave and if Lambert stays he'll be used for 17 and a half seconds at the end of games much like this season.
