MotoMkali Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I mean it's not ideal to take a 15 mil loss after just 1.5 seasons. But he's scored what 13 prem goals for us in 30 starts and 18 sub appearances. About 30 games worth of minutes overall. Not too shabby. I hope it's 15 mil then like 5 mil in bonuses if he scores like 15 goals for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Good pro Ings. Sad to see him go and I have some big reservations about this. Still, doesn’t necessarily fit Emery’s game plan and we must have a couple of strikers lined up. Big outlay that hasn’t worked. We will have done well to recoup £15 million for FFP purposes as well as getting wages off the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 To be clear we will be about £6.4m better off in our accounts this year. He had about a book value of £11.8m remaining and would have earned £3.2m in wages for rest of this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheltenham_villa Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 i think we can all see the common sense behind the transfer given his age, injury record, contract length is his preferred playing style. Im not sure any of us are comfortable with the timing. Could it really not have waited another week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't replace him before the window's out, that point remains valid. As it is, we only have the Southampton game before the window ends. Let's see how that goes, if we struggle in this one game and everyone reckons Ings off the bench would have made the difference then fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosnichs Muller corner Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Bit gutted when this does get finalised, don't think he has ever really done anything wrong and has scored and assisted some great goals when he has had his chances. Just hope the replacement is an exciting one to soften the blow of losing a good goalscorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 The timing of this is bizarre to say the least. Two days before a match, when our only other senior striker limped off in the last game. The Southampton game is our only game before the window closes, why would we not have waited until after that game? Makes no damn sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Have to imagine this implies that we will be bringing in a winger who can also play upfront in the coming days. Others have mentioned thuram for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
