I’d assume so or Liverpool have the option of a recall.
I would join in but I’ve got some paperwork to do.

I wasn’t going to be childish but couldn’t resist, could the guilty parties on the above thread no say they’re wrong?

Because Hughes never really did have him did he?
He was injured (someone could check that one) and he was gone in December whilst Ings was on LOAN.
Right now thats everyone fucked off at Bazza’s rapier like wit and guile, wots next?
Howzabout that someone be you you lazy bastard, you’re the one trying to prove the point 
Using a theoretical question to back up your position isn’t a good look, Southampton FC didn’t have the option, they were obligated to buy.
I read that and though Medulla Oblongata…
Don’t know why I posted that…
There is no nuance or grey area, we initially got Ings on loan, show me different and I’ll wholeheartedly apologise.
haha no-one is arguing that we initially had him on loan, you’re argument was that Hughes didn’t have Ings and in that respect you are wrong sir.

He didn’t in respect of time (I believe I put that in there right at the start).
Are you sure? I think you’ll find quite a few disagreeing.
Did you find out how many games he played under Hughes? How many goals he scored? How much difference it made? Compared that to Ralph in the same time frame?
Wow, hands up! I got that spectacularly wrong voting in that poll.
See what I did there Barry?
…admitted I got something wrong.
League and Cup
12 games and 5 goals. Hughes 41.67%
61 game and 31 goals. Hassenhutl 50.82%
No need to apologise mush, we all fuck up.
So, to summarise. A stat was presented showing that Ralph has us scoring more consistently compared to Hughes. Your argument was that it’s easier when you have Ings at your disposal. You then questioned if Hughes had Ings, it was shown that he did (loan, permanent I couldn’t care less he was still playing for Southampton FC). You then change the goalposts saying ‘ah yeah, but not for long, he was injured’, you then rightly look up the stats to find that he had him for 12 games and he scored 5 goals at a very respectable rate of approx 42%. However you fail to mention that Ings’ goals under Hughes got us the grand total of 4 points, Ings goals under Ralph got us 6 points in the first 2 games. After that Ings’ goals didn’t feature much for Ralph as he was injured missing 6 games, and it was the rest of the team that was scoring more regularly. So, in conclusion, Hughes did well stopping us from getting relegated, but even having Ings he couldn’t get the best out of the rest of the team and was quite rightly replaced, Ralph now has us scoring more goals in a style of play that allows more chances/conversions per game than under Hughes as per the original stat, and I’d likely state it would be the same for Pellegrino and Puel.
So my main question is, what the fuck are we arguing about?
