Tom Ince

[Sarb]

We dont really need him anymore do we?

Just can't see where he would get a game for us regularly now. No doubt that he has talent and potential. Just think the money could be better spent strengthening elsewhere. Certainly there is no need for us to pay over the odds for him as there is no pressing need to get him in the team asap

Possibly, possibly not.

I'd rather us have plenty of options though than a thin squad like we did at the start of the season. There's always a risk of Ince going to another PL team too and doing well.

Then again he could move and flop I suppose.

For a reasonable price (£4-6m) then I think he's probably worth a punt.

I dislike Oyston and the way he seems to go about his business (not answering calls ) but Ince is key to Blackpool's promotion push so it's no wonder he doesn't want him to go.

Ince just tweeted that he's turned 21.

Time is passing you by fella, better get that big move sorted before you're too old.

We're going to pull out of the deal because he is now too old.

I edited my post with just that in mind, he needs to be more decisive, just as he was when he wanted to leave lfc, if he now want's to come back? Then tell that tit Oysten! to stop ****ing about, just as we didn't **** about when we let him go.

He has a sellable asset so he is going to play hardball

Can't imagine Ayre ignoring calls if someone was interested in some of our guff like Downing!

I hope he keeps his mobile on 24/7 incase that call ever comes.

You are right. But it was more a case of asking do we really need him because of the glaring deficiencies in the rest of the squad now. We have reinforced the front line. But now we clearly need a back up DM a First team LB and a back up CB. The defensive side of the club is the weaker part now. Which seems like a total 180 from a month ago.

[Sarb]

Will Watt (some Journo) says we are expected to make one more bid before tomorrow night but unless it's a huge offer then it will get rejected. Think Ince can be crossed off this window

Yeah I tend to agree.

I dunno though. Nobody here knows how much FSG have to spend. They've backed us so far and they're not shy at spending a couple of bob so just because we get Ince (if we get Ince), then I don't think that means we can't strengthen elsewhere.

Not saying they've got a bottomless pit, but I'm pretty sure that if the right player came along for a decent price then they'd stump up the wedge.

All guesswork, of course.

Doesn't make sense to sign him this window if his contract runs out in the summer.

[Alex]

No, suppose your right. It does seem to be about getting the right man in now, rather than someone who could do a job.

I think we have been backed quite well this window. Providing Coutinho comes in thats around £20m spent with Cole and Sahin getting off the wage book.

We look stronger than September 1st, and with Ince in it can only provide a better option.

I suppose Rodgers is going for the 'Score one more than them' philosophy. Which I quite like, as it makes teams more fun to watch.

There will be one more year left on Ince's contract in the summer.

[Sarb]

Apparently he has 18 months left, not running out in the summer. Think they are looking for 10m. No way will we bid that

[Shaggy]

Forget him and move on. Prices for British players are a joke.
