Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports that claims the club is preparing a possible move for Southampton striker Danny Ings as a replacement for Sergio Aguero this Summer.
The Citizens are expected to be in the market for a new striker at the end of the 2020-21 campaign, with the club’s all-time leading goalscorer Sergio Aguero potentially leaving on a free transfer.
The 28-year-old, whose contract at St Mary’s expires in the summer of 2022, has been heavily linked with various clubs in recent months, with Tottenham reported to be among the interested parties.
According to Skysport, City’s search for Aguero successor has included Erling Haaland but with a market value said to be £100m, Ings has been identified as a more attainable option.
The former Liverpool man, who is currently out injured, has really impressed for the Saints, scoring 42 goals in 92 games so far (Transfermarkt).
Signing Ings with his fitness history, comes with a risk, but he has proven he can do the business regardless of the calibre of player around him.
With eight goals and two assists in 22 league appearances this season so far, Ings in a Man City side with lots of talents will comes with a guaranteed nose for Premier League goals.
In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by Man City Xtra and City, many City fans have have expressing their thoughts and opinions with many against the move for the Southampton striker.
Here’s what some fans have been saying.
Must be joking, fine player, no doubt, but he has a worse injury record than Aguero!

It’s not even cap this tbf. Probably won’t happen but I’m pretty confident by now that he is on city’s radar so if we miss out on haaland, lukaku, felix, Kane we might go for ings if we are desperate

Ings covers that English quota and is a quality forward, not a bad signing.

Jamie Vardy is ten times better if going for English player.

It actually wouldn’t surprise me if we did , there’s no way we are spending £100m on Haaland see we?

As mental as this sounds, he will be on the list, albeit the last name on it I suspect. The club will have a tiered list, from top targets to more attainable targets depending on finances, other players coming in etc. Personally, I’d rather they gave Aguero another 12 months
