Ings has scored five goals all season, how is that "fine" for 30m striker?! Ollie's been poor aswell but he should make double figures which is o.k in scoring charts at least.

It's not going to happen. He's well off. He'll be back in Germany. His hype curve peaked around 2018 didn’t it? Back then he was inofficially valued at 80m and looked at by Liverpool and whatnot. When he finally came to the Prem last summer Villa were the only ones still after him. He obviously has talent but I get the feeling he thinks he’s a little too good to have to work hard.

Yeah he's not good enough for one of the top teams in this league but he did have good stats in Bundesliga for CL/europa team so logical a club like us looking to start to move into clutch of teams competing for those positions should sign him. Last season he scored 14 goals for Leverkusen in Bundesliga and europa so why shouldn't we be looking at that type of player? And given Patrick Shick scored a good amount I imagine a few assists aswell. Also was 23 when we signed him so more than fits the age profile we constantly demand on this forum considering the stick Gerrard is getting for his signings. Ultimately he completely lost any momentum from the great Everton cameo and never got it back given he barely played from October-March.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Looks lightweight to me (at the moment) perhaps he needs a preseason. However I'm not sure he will get it, think he might be surplus to Gerrard's requirements after a few more players are signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 We do love to have wingers who isolate themselves on the pitch. Team players are needed rather than do it for myself players. Bailey needs to understand if cash goes on the overlap and he doesn't use him, cash is then half a pitch out of position. So when Bailey inevitably loses the ball by ignoring the overlap the opponents every time pass it down that side and set up an attack. It's not rocket science. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted April 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2022 He needs game time and a system that gives us more possession, might not work out but he needs a chance he obviously got the talent . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
