January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

West Ham have bid for Ings according to the Telegraph.

Twitter reckons we value him at £15m, I’d hope to get more than that if we were interested in selling.

Don’t think we’ll get much more if any, he’ll be on big wages as well which will free us up a bit
As things stand I don’t think we should be selling him though

Selling Ings in January without a proper replacement would be stupid.

Selling Ings in January without a proper replacement would be stupid.

West Ham were linked to Duvan Zapata and En-Nesyri before this Ings news, both would be decent short term loan options.

Isn't Duran playing in an under 20 tournament in next few weeks? Ollie limped off v Leeds but I presume he's o.k for Southampton.

I can't see anything happening with Ings for another week-10 days. There's no rush to sell him until we sign a replacement.

Also get the feel this is a board signing for West Ham. If they don't beat Everton then Moyes will be sacked and I can see them putting Dyche in, he worked with Ings at Burnley.

Ings would be a great signing for any of the clubs fighting relegation, if he keeps them up it’ll be money well spent, maybe incorporate a survival bonus into any deal. Having said that I’d also be surprised if we let him go with our current numbers in that position.

They can fuck off. It’ll be mental to sell our leading goal scorer.

I’d be tempted.

Same here if we can get 15m+ and have someone lined up better suited to Emery's style.

[pauliewalnuts]

He’s our leading scorer, our other ‘natural’ first choice is injured (although he’s not much of a goal scorer when not injured) and we’ve just sent the third choice on loan and bought a striker who, no matter how good he turns out to be in the longer term, is extremely unlikely to be ready to be thrown straight in

Selling Ings without a replacement at this point in the window would be insane.

[Percy McCarthy]

I get all that. It’s just that we’ve been so bad at getting decent prices for players on the way down over the years I’ve probably got a bit carried away with the prospect of us doing it for once.

Plus I’m super confident about Duran Duran.

[villadelph]

15m, fuck off. Survival costs more than that, they’re terrible.

Yep agreed.

[frank black]

Looks like we must have someone lined up, surely?

Big decision selling a prem scorer and replacing in January

[ozzjim]

Only sell if you are down the road for a replacement Villa. Ings doesn't fit at all in the new world, but to go with a woefully out of sorts Watkins and a 19 year old that's played at a lower level than Archer till the end of the season could be tough.

[algy]

15m, fuck off. Survival costs more than that, they’re terrible.

Yep, that's it for me. I wouldn't be against selling Ings at all, but if you want him in January then you're paying the cost of Premier League status. £30m as far as they're concerned is _only_ £10m a year for 3 years (which'd make Ings 33, just on the cusp of 34), so the bidding starts there.
