As things stand as at 5/8/21, I’d bet on a draw if we played them (and probably 0-0)

[Albion] Danny Ings to Villa

Baily has been tearing it up for years, Buendia is fantastic and Danny Ings garuntues goals at premier league level, Grealish is good but if you gave me a choice to have those 3 or Grealish I would rather have Danny Ings by himself at Albion than Jack Grealish, good player but severly overhyped in my opinion.
Not sure if its a very good signing for Villa. Ings will probably bag a few but that many more than his competitors Wesley or Watkins would? We'll see.
It puts Southampton in a very difficult situation though. They need to get 3-4 quality players in or it will be a very tough season for them.

You may well be right. Grealish to me is more than an average Villa player. He was their talisman and carried them through many games.
But let’s see what transpires. If Ings doesn’t fire or gets injured I predict a very tough season for Villa minus Grealish.
Looking at there squad even taking away Grealish I'm backing them for Europe, quality all over the pitch.

But that is what sets us apart! We indubitably occupy the moral high ground to the total exclusion of anybody else….,,,..
…….. and I might be exaggerating there ever so slightly, but I do like to think we try to do things right. We have even been shopping ourselves to the FA for “discrepancies”.

You’d be wary of a Southampton team with Ings in it, not so much now.

Ings is a good signing for Villa - but Southampton got a lot of money for him (29 years old, injury prone and 1 year left on his contract).
They are certainly weakened - and will need to bring in a striker - Armstong is the obvious choice (apparently Blackburn are interested in Obafemi - but Southampton want £6million for him). He might be a decent PL striker. However, I think he is more likely to go to Norwich who apparently have offered Idah on loan for the season as part of the deal.

Apart from some very dubious rumours we haven’t even had a strong link to a forward which is worrying.
I’m perplexed at our transfer activity. I would have expected to have seen a striker come in. We simply can’t rely on the personnel that we have on the books at the moment.
Maybe GP sees our midfield delivering all the goals but that’s not been a line of service to date.

No it isn't. Villa weren't ever linked with Ings but they signed him.

Well, fair play to that website. Personally, I hadn't seen him linked with them at all and the transfer really happened without any coverage from Sky Sports at all prior to it being announced.

Perfect signing.
