Danny Ings has announced that he has been given the go ahead to leave Liverpool this summer and that should alert ACB to the possibility of resigning their first player that was sold for £1m. While Ings has been troubled with injuries at his time in Liverpool, Burnley is the only other Premier League club that he has played for, and AFCB were back in League One when he left for Burnley in 2011. He signed for Burnley then, because Eddie Howe was manager there and the possibility of another link up with Howe is no doubt an option in Ings' mind.
AFCB do need defenders as a priority, but top English strikers are not available very often. Danny Ings is a good goalscorer and has been at a club that AFCB can learn from. So it would be a great acquisition in my opinion.
I expect the tabloids soon to be linking Danny Ings with a possible move to AFCB. His transfer fee and wages might be at the top scale of earners at AFCB, but Howe will pay the best price he can for quality and Ings has the quality in front of goal that is sure to at least make AFCB pick up the phone and ask what the price would be.

Danny Ings wants to play regular Premier League football above all else and he could do that at the Cherries if Bournemouth did decide that they have room with Benik Afobe already sold, and Lewis Grabban also likely to be sold this summer. Ings scored his first goal after his long-term injury in q 2-2 draw with West Brom in April 2018. He played as a fill-in striker as games mounted up for Liverpool with their Champion's league run, but with Divock Origi returning after his loan year at Wolfsburg, Ings is expected to be frozen out of opportunities.

Bournemouth have a great crop of forwards with King and Wilson the most picked strikers followed by Defoe and Mousset. The addition of a striker like Ings would give Howe more option to try different combinations, and we could find that King and Ings are more compatible that Wilson and King. Ings will also believe like Callum Wilson that he is just a run of games away from becoming a regular England international and Eddie Howe certainly has a favouritism for taking on English players when they are available.

ReplyDeleteThe worst possible move...ings too injury prone ..looks like brooks is on way
ReplyDeleteNot a smart move. The risk of having 2 injury prone strikers, who both are yet too prove they are as good as they were
