Southampton Linked With Two Out Of Contract Strikers on 16:05 - May 21 with 1416 views | InTimeAddedOn | With Stewart & Ings both prone to injury, as Nick has said, albeit Ings isn’t as battered as some at his age, I still think it would be a big risk having half of the strike force with such a combined injury record. If you look at what some teams did to the likes of Edozie last time we were in this division I could see a team like Millwall playing us in August and consigning both Ings and Stewart to lengthy lay offs by half time! Shankland looked good last season but has wilted a bit this season. On a good day he’s quite a handful and would not be afraid of the physicality of the Championship. [Post edited 21 May 18:16]

That's not really AA or Archer. Would be typical Saints to get rid of Tall Paul just as we start throwing lots of crosses in the box. |  | |  |

Ings has been pretty much fit since he joined us in 2018, in fact that was his last season where he missed a significant number of games through injury, about 10 in total, other than that he has not picked up many injuries in the last 6 seasons, so from this perspective he is not a gamble because of his injury record. Its a gamble worth taking as he would cost us nothing |  |

Ings would cost us far from nothing. His wages would be massive for a Championship club. |  |

Ings is not going to be getting anything near the wages that he was on at West Ham and I would suspect that there will be few Premier League clubs in for him, so I would think his wage demands would be affordable given there is no fee payable |  |

Don't think I'd have a problem with him providing he doesn't come up with stupid demands. And as has been said on here Still limes using wingers we need a target man. Just don't expect the same player as when here previously, though that wouldn't be too bad |  |

Difficult to pick up injuries just sitting on the substitutes bench - well 'normal' football injuries anyway! |  | |  |
