Because when he walks into Carrington both knees will give out and he will play 45 minutes over his seven year contract.Why aren’t we signing him?

No. End of.Good backup option for next year?
Yes. Start of.No. End of.
Yes. Start of.
He's not crap at all.It’s incredible when you think how crap he is.
Didn't he leave to play football though? Can't see him moving on to sit back on the bench anywhere.I'd happily have him back as back up for our front three. He's quality and a great lad.
He really isn’t great at all. I don’t rate him at all, but to be fair on him he’s had a good season so does deserve credit for that.He's not crap at all.
I think he's been fantastic given his injury woes. He's stayed fit for the season and really delivered at a Southampton team that's struggled early on. His finishing is superb.He really isn’t great at all. I don’t rate him at all, but to be fair on him he’s had a good season so does deserve credit for that.
I’d agree this season but can you really start that for the rest of his career. Seems like a purple patch rather than true form.I think he's been fantastic given his injury woes.

Surely over a full season it can't be a purple patch? That said we did have similar from the likes of Michu in the past.I’d agree this season but can you really start that for the rest of his career. Seems like a purple patch rather than true form.
In fairness, Martial and Rashford both have 7 games to do that, they're only 4 off.Scores goals when fit, 18 league goals. We’ve not had anyone who’s scored 18+ League goals since SAF retired.
Kane, Abraham and ?From memory he started off well at Liverpool but then had those two horrendous injuries that cost him much chance of impressing Klopp. Could've taken up the role Origi has done in recent seasons.
Got to think he's moved ahead of likes of Calum Wilson as that 4th striker in the England squad.
Both had long injury lay off as well.In fairness, Martial and Rashford both have 7 games to do that, they're only 4 off.
You have said the exact same thing twice, but rephrasedIf he wins the golden boot he'd be the first non 'Big 6' player to do so since Kevin Phillips for Sunderland in 99/00 if my quick Wikipedia check is correct. Phillips was also the last to do it for a club that finished outside the top 6.
No, just didn't phrase it well haha. By 'Big 6' player I meant a player from the top 6 clubs in the league recently (i.e. United, City, Chelsea, Pool, Arsenal and Spurs). The second part was about league finishes.You have said the exact same thing twice, but rephrased
My personal view is Richarlson is massively over rated while Ings is massively underrated. My only concerns about signing Ings would be his injury record and whether or not he has Liverpool blood running through his veins...but if we did sign him, I wouldn't be surprised to see him push Martial for a starting spot...
Seriously though, we do need a back-up striker but would Ings really be any better than Ighalo in that role? I'm from Bournemouth and watched Ings play for Bournemouth a decade back and truthfully I liked him but in the present Ighalo offers the same.
If we're gonna go for a striker them I think we should bring in Richarlison to compete with Martial, not a "back-up" striker.
And none of them penalties apparently. Best performing striker in the league.Scores goals when fit, 18 league goals. We’ve not had anyone who’s scored 18+ League goals since SAF retired.
Don't think so. I imagine Ighalo's contract would be extended if he keeps playing and scoring here and there. We likely won't be signing another striker anytime soon, especially not King.I think Ole is just waiting til Jan so he can get Josh King at a really low price.
Seasons not over yet!Scores goals when fit, 18 league goals. We’ve not had anyone who’s scored 18+ League goals since SAF retired.
Last seasonI’d agree this season but can you really start that for the rest of his career. Seems like a purple patch rather than true form.
Rashford?!Kane, Abraham and ?
My picture was.....Rashford?!
