Mazrim Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Its quite feasible we bring in a new striker without selling either Ings or Watkins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all about options and players fighting for shirts. There are no guaranteed places anymore, unless the player is pulling up trees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I would keep Ings over Ollie. Unless a big bid comes in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 All depends on whether we're going to play with two strikers or two tens. If we want to stick with two strikers, you could justify signing another without letting either of Watkins or Ings go. But, for me that would be a costly waste of money, given that we could : a) lose almost all of Ings' resale value by keeping him when we'll rotate him, especially if his form doesn't pick up b) play with two tens as an alternative to two strikers if we had an injury shortage (to either of the strikers) And c) won't have enough game time (due to our continued poor cup runs and no European football) to keep a new signing happy that is rotating with 2 other strikers. I'd rather we kept what we have, and played both Buendia and Coutinho, but even if we do stick with two strikers, I'm quite happy with Archer as back up and the potential to switch to a single forward if needed. All the above assumes we're selling Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Have this fear that Buendia will end up on the bench while we either go with 2 attackers or do something daft like bring in the Ox. Hope we don't. Still think the two 10's can work with some better instructions and a more solid midfield behind them. Coutinho & Buendia should be a great combination to build out offence around.

VillaJ100 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 One thing with Ings is it seems like he's underachieving, but he might just have reverted to the mean, because his last couple of seasons with Soton some of the goals he was knocking in were more like quarter chances than half chances, like a score one in ten/15 of those but he was knocking in every one.

That was never going to continue I’m of the belief that Ings and others will massively benefit from a full preseason with Gerrard and Critchley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Lot of talk of us needing a new striker but we have 2 of the best outside the top 6. They weren't great last season but who was? I wouldn’t be too fussed if we don’t sign a new striker. I think both have a lot more to offer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that you need 4 players who can play #10 and at least 3 frontline strikers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
