Danny Ings all day, works his knackers off and now he has found where the goal is as well.
Thing is if you're Ings.... Sign as the main man for (eg) Everton or ride our bench?
Having just got his game on and his shit together; no brainer really.

I make you right on that, and the team was showing at one point some very good counter attacking play, but again let down by poor defending.Absolutely, I said as much (specifically about a DM) in January... Even with Harry on the sidelines.
There are goals in the team, but how many games this season have we put ourselves on the back-foot by conceding first?
(I'd say most without checking....)

If Jose can get this sorted, we may still be a bit of a force for the rest of the season.
Shopping list
Southampton will be forced to sell stars like Danny Ings, 27, Nathan Redmond, 26, and James Ward-Prowse, 25, this summer if the club cannot find a buyer for owner's 80% stake. (Star
I’d be very happy with those two, although I’m still not sold on hojberg being the out and out DM we need, I think he is still better than any other option we have.I’ll take Ings and Hojberg too. Redmond and Ward-Prowse are not worth spending big money on.
Interesting if true about Kai Havertz.

Yeah... I noticed that afterwards.State of the geezer's twitter account....
Yeah... I noticed that afterwards.
He would be a great signing, but I doubt if we are going to pay that for any player.
I'm more curious as to who on earth would have to sell to raise 60m from 3 players....

Jose is building a squad to compete for the title in the 21/22 season. The 20/21 season will be a transition year for us, where we will aim for top 4 and a domestic cup. In 21/22 Liverpool and City will be entering a rebuilding phase; and our main competition will likely be chelsea and united.
With that in mind, we need to move on our older players. In the 21/22 season, the age of some of our older players. I'd say several of these need to be 'cashed in' by next summer.
Jan - 35
Toby - 33
Moura - 30
Lamela - 30
Sissoko - 33
Aurier - 29
Son - 30
Davis - 29
Kane - 29
Dier - 28
Hugo - 35
Raising 60m this summer from 3 players? - Moura (25m) / Sissoko (20m) / Lamela (15m). Not sure we could achieve 20m for a 31 year old sissoko on 100k a week.
The ages of the players we have signed backs up what you're saying.
Sess - 20
GLC - 24
Ndombele - 23
Gedson - 21
Bergwijn - 22
Already in the vault we have Parrott, Skipp, Cirkin, and Tanganga.
It is clear that Poch was right in that we need a painful rebuild. The pain will be most felt by Levy as the market will be cautious.
I'm not sure some of our fans can take another transitional season. I suppose if we aren't having crowds back for a while and European football looks in doubt then it is a good time to go through the painful process. Closed door games watch like a training match anyway.

I don't think Havertz will ever go for "reasonable money" though.Aside from Kane and Son, I think we'd have to sell our entire team to raise that much.
And Havertz isn't going for 70 million. Closer to half that. Transfer fees have changed.
Havertz and Brandt are 2 players that would move us to the top of the tree, maybe it would be worth paying the money. Put those 2 in the same team as Kane and Son and we would score 5 every week.I don't think Havertz will ever go for "reasonable money" though.
Admittedly, transfer fees will go down on average, but I believe the most hyped up wonderkids will still go for the crazy amounts. Also, I think Bayer Leverkusen is healthy enough to not having to sell their star players to survive as a club during these times. (I could be wrong)
Time will tell.
