In your opinion is Ings actually good enough to cut it at a top club, whether he joins us or a n other. Is this the calibre/prospect/risk of player we can really expect this summer? Especially when we have a raw probably very raw talent in Origi joining up and say an already present injury prone Starring. Surely we need to look at the deeper picture of regular performance, goal scoring ability surely its not about building for the future all the time. My opinion this has been done, rusks have been taken and money has been wasted. I understand 'free' means 'free' but you still have wages to pay. I see raw talent in the reserves why not use that than risk unnecessary spending to get the financials back in line with FFP. I know there is much more to it than that but to me it's common sense as much as we all would like to see that 'MARQUEE' signing. Fingers crossed we get it right this summer with everything manager and players. Bring on the new season.

{Ed002's Note - I have explained that Liverpool have been looking at various options. I am not sure if a list of "marquee" players exists.}

Ings would be a very good signing. He will bag between 15 and 20 a season.

I'm not so sure about 15-20 goals tbh, but I'd say he is worth the risk

Yeah Ings looks good, a little under the radar cause he's a lot quicker, good ball control and movement then is mentioned with him. In a team that created as many chances as we have you'd expect him to score upwards of 15.

Borini scored around 10 goals for Sunderland and yet he struggled this season. Is Ings really better than Borini ? Honestly don't think so.

{Ed002's Note - How much time has Borini had this season?}

Ings will not get Liverpool into the top 4. Seriously we need to get Top Class players through the door, not a young version of Ricky Lambert

{Ed002's Note - There are constraints that limit the market for Liverpool to some extent, e.g. not being in the Champions League, FFP issues, lack of funds because the money spent to put the team back at the top of the table has gone. There is very serious interest in Ings and, if he arrives, hopefully the fans won't turn on him as they do pretty much every other player.}

Seriously DBol, get off his back! If he signs he'll be a good player for us and will have everyone's backing. Same with Milner

Ed002- if Ings were to come in would you expect interest for those such as Son, Vietto (both difficult), speculated interest for Benteke and Aubameyang who you said may be an option to go completely and Ings be the only striker arriving

{Ed002's Note - It depends who is to leave. I would not be surprised if Lambert were to stay. Balotelli the club want out and have instructed his representatives accordingly - they have explained the major problem that exists with the money the club wants. Borini is never going to get the opportunity he wants and will also likely leave. Sturridge cannot be sold in the short or medium term. Lambert will probably stay. origin is arriving. Aspas will go, I don't know if Yesil will ever get a chance and the youngsters are probably not part of any plans. So I think it all remains in the balance still.}

Lambert is too slow to fit our style of play. He would do much better playing for a team that uses a target man up front. I personally do not see him staying especially that his playing time will likely become even more restricted than this year if Sturridge comes back fit in Oct.

Lambert is one of those, if he leaves and gets played regular in a position that suits, he'll end up having a great season and we'll all moan we should have sold.

I hope he stays, he loves the club as much as us and if used properly could be effective. Imagine a manager with faith in him, knows how and when to use him. He'd love that and we'd see results on the pitch.

I hope hoe stays because he can be used situationally but under a new manager who will play to his attributes because BR bought him yet never plays him, same with Borini.
