Danny Ings signs for Aston Villa

[Reluctant Striker]

Had a while to think & my feeling is Ings certainly seems like a short term, low risk option. In terms of what we should get on the pitch. Off the pitch, that money is pretty much gone in full. Baring relegation this season. But if he hits goals like he did for Southampton. Buendia slots in well. Bailey contributes. Quite possibly another name or 2 turn up at Villa. It just may be the silver lining to Grealish leaving that the side are not so dependent on one man.

There have been rumours of Cantwell of Norwich & before Ings was announced there was lots of gossip about Ward-Prowse from Southampton. But either would seem mean. Taking 2 big names from either of them in one transfer window.

£30m for a 29 year old player in the last year of his contract with a patchy injury record isn't bad business for Saints to be fair.

£25 plus £5 in add ons linked to goal tally’s and appearances

30 quid is a very decent deal for Villa to be fair.
