Is Danny Ings fit?

Sorry, is he ever fit lol. Not sure if Liverpool will allow another striker out on loan after allowing Sturridge to go to the obsessed, but could he be an option for us?

Yes he's fit.  And we've got no chance.


People were saying that about John Terry ;)
It's an entirely different set of circumstances.  Terry wasn't prepared to play in the PL.  Ings will very much want to and there would be plenty of takers.  Anyway, having just let Sturridge go there's no way Liverpool are letting Ings out this window, so it's a pointless debate.

Evans has basically re hashed a story he had already written claiming that we decided against going for a high profile striker as he was too similar to what we have. Basically he had nothing and has written fluff about having nothing. Worst reporter in the world.

City buying up every player on the planet again and now Mahrez trying to force a move. Depressing days.

We might well get a striker tomorrow.

Calderwood said it's highly unlikely but you never know.

I thought Davis did pretty well when he came on tonight and that the Hogan / Davis combination would probably be OK to see us through if we were guaranteed they would both remain fit and on form.  The problem is that they both have had their injury and form issues and a reoccurrence of those issues would leave with Gabby 'reliable as a chocolate fire guard' Agbonlahor and the fairly untried RHM.

I think if Kodjia was likely to come back at some stage we could get away with what we currently have for the run in.

Danger is window will close and Hogan will then do his knee at the weekend so we'd be just down to Davis again with little options off the bench.

Which is why I would even take McBurnie from Swansea on loan at this stage. It is not worth being down to just Davis. RHM and Hogan are injury prone and Davis for all his good points, struggles to hit a oversized barn door from a yard away.

I think a few of the posts recently are vastly underrating RHM, I think we should be making sure we get him game time in the next few months, there's a very good young striker in there in my opinion.

I’d have RHM over Davis on the bench. I find KD a very limited footballer and RHM offers much more in terms of pace and versatility.
