Danny Ings

[Stoof]

Also, we may have said "Kane's not being sold". So that means he'd probably be playing second fiddle. He'll start for Villa, who have a fairly exciting project going on.

 

[Guntz]

Haha wtf that has legit came out of nowhere.

Buendia/Bailey/Ings for Grealish with some money left over is unreal. Fair fucking play Villa.

 

[mil1lion]

Grealish off to City looking more and more likely.

Villa is gonna be cold next season. Bailey and Buendia are studs and Watkins and Ings are solid goalscorers. Ones to watch.

Suggests we’re serious about Vlahovic as he’s been the only other striker with strong links.

Well he has a medical tomorrow

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

For 25 mil it’s worth him missing a month or two he’ll still gonna get you 10-15 goals

Its being reported at £30M ... and the amount of injuries he has had , he one away from a really really proper big one

 

[sausage]

Wouldn’t be at all surprised if Aston Villa make a very legitimate push at top 6.

With grealish, yes.

Without - not so convinced.

With Harry Winks, nailed on.

Yea they’ve smashed it.

But they have Watkins so why do they need ings? Wonder if they’ll move Watkins out to the left then.

Shows what you can do with big money then.

Grealish will def be off.

Hope city still have enough dosh for Kane

 

[ardiles&villa]

I’m just hoping villa want winks with the money they’ve come into

Suggests we’re serious about Vlahovic as we clearly want another striker irregardless of Kane’s situation and he’s been the only other strong link at this point.

Theyve literally spent the grealish money already, if Ings is the reported 30M they have spent circa 85M-90M this summer already

They’ve just bloody spent it all

 

[Sweech]

Personally I think Grealish is a fantastic player but he’s not the type to drag you to success imo so I’m not sure how negative an impact losing him is going to have. An impact for sure but I still think they’ll push without him.

 

[easley91]

This is one of those out of nowhere signings and Villa look very good for next season even without Grealish if these signings click.

 

[wrd]

I love when transfers are done out of nowhere. Credit to all involved.

 

[TC18]

I must admit I wanted him as a proven PL goal scorer, I’m a little concerned we seem to be only chasing players from outside the league, all transfers are a gamble but being PL proven mitigates a little of that risk.

 

[GiveMeMoura]

Good!!!
Never wanted him, shows his level and how we should definitely be aiming higher.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Its being reported at £30M ... and the amount of injuries he has had , he one away from a really really proper big one

He already has had a big one, cruciate ligaments.

It's a big gamble at 30m imo.

 

[$hoguN]

Great signing for Villa

 

[Meercat]

I love this transfer. Just brilliant that it’s quite literally dropped out of nowhere.

It came out of nowhere but really he was always available at that price. Maybe a case of "if we get an offer of 30m we'll deal , unless it's Spurs". It just needed someone to stump up the money. We probably would go to 20m but reluctant to go much higher.

 

[Joely]

Been impressed with Ings during his time at Southampton and certainly wouldn't have minded him as a forward option for us. However, think it's probably a combination of things which resulted in us not pushing for him. Can imagine he probably wasn't high up on Paratici's list and also doubt we'd match a £30m bid for a 29 year old in the last year of his contract.
