⚽ 📰 The Football News Thread

That would depend on many things but I highly doubt it.

D’oh! There is no guarantee as you know, but the odds are more in your favour. Didn’t Tottenham recently play in the Champions league final? You don’t think that counts for anything?
Let’s try looking at this another way.
Ings signed a contract which is coming to an end. He is considering his options. What is the problem with that?
SFC want him to stay and have, presumably, made him the best offer they can to try and get him to sign. What is the problem with that?
As for your point about going anywhere just for money, I bet that he doesn’t end up at a similar sized club as ours, let alone a club like Sheffield United (or Fulchester).

He’d end up at a smaller club if they paid more, how did City start getting the players in?

Chelsea?
PSG?

Money talks and nothing else comes close.

To finish this stupid debate.

Why did Fonte sign for us?

Chin of the year 2017, 2018 and 2020.

Vardy got the 2019 gong.

How much is Vardy on and his bonus’s?

How often does that happen? And when have you ever finished an argument? He won’t go to a similar sized club for more money. He will go to a bigger club for more money.

He’s on a large chin. Bonuses are that all aircraft can land on it, not just VTOLs.

He and Kane are both in the bidding to become Heathrow’s third runway.

Chelsea and PSG have both spent a lot of money on players and both clubs have won things. If Ings goes to Sheffield United, as he would according to you, all they can offer him is Championship football. Only in your world Barry.

I don’t think I said that, I said any player will go where the money is, why did Neymar go to PSG?

Why did Walcott take a pay cut to come to us? Why did Le Tissier turn down the Blackburn shilling? Money isn’t automatically the only consideration.

Walcott as Everton are paying the difference as I understand it and Le Tissier? Well loads of reasons and one that I don’t think we could really answer, loyalty for sure, ego also, he liked being a big fish in a small pond for sure.
He also wouldn’t exist in todays game.

Walcott claims to have taken a pay cut in order to come here, regardless of Everton funding part of his wages. But I agree, a modern day Le Tiss would be hard to find.

He isn’t lying but the wage is being topped up by Everton, he won’t be out of pocket by coming here, I think its 50/50, money is everything nowadays, football is all the worse for it.

Do you think he would have gone to PSG a second division team for the same money? Do you really believe that Ings would go to a club like Crystal Palace for a few quid more a week? Apparently we have offered to make him our highest paid players but he is still stalling because he wants to see if he can land Champions League football. I know you seem to find that hard to fathom but when you earn a shedload of money anyway, perhaps medals are more of an attraction than even more money?
Still, when Ings signs for Sheffield United, WBA or Fulham you can prove me wrong.

What do you mean nowadays? You say that as if money has not been a consideration in the past. The trouble is that you view the world through a Barry prism and thankfully not everybody thinks the way you do. Ings has apparently said that the money offered is not the issue. If you wish to call him a liar, maybe go and do it to his face?

We offered him £100,000 a week plus bonus which is chicken feed so I do not blame him for going.
Have Sheffield United offered more money?

Where is this club with Champions League football?
That is an elastic term as who qualifies for it? Does he know? Of course he doesn’t.

He can say that but that doesn’t mean its true, do you believe Donald Trump?

Donald Trump and Danny Ings…are you saying that they are similar characters?

I really have no idea. But according to you, if they do, he is off. Where did you get that figure of £100,000 from?
