If he bags 20 goals for us I don't care whether he's arrogant or not.
We have Maupay who's arrogant and he misses 3x chances a game. I agree that Saints gave him a shot after being out injured but they certainly gained from that as he scores 46 in 100 which is bloody impressive!
I really don't think you can call him a sick note anymore mate, he's played 30+ games the past 3x seasons one of which he bagged 25 goals.
Lets be honest here, all footballers are mercenaries including the Albion squad. They dont love the albion and at any given opportunity they'd be off if their salary was doubled. A certain Lewis dunk wanted to go to Fulham a few years back for more money.
Somehow his is a different type of arrogance - selfish.
I don’t think he would be on our radar anyway. Welbeck may not have scored many goals, but he is good to have around the place and GP has commented on his effect on younger players. I don’t think Ings would be like that.
If any of our “mercenary” players moved on, they would probably be saying nice things about the club. Ings just dropped Southampton like a stone.
