Hi Eds,

Few questions,

1st, is there any weight in the Danny Ings rumours?, good player think he will improve at a better team.

2nd, With us being linked with Trippier, does this put question marks over either of Walker or Yedlin remaining at the lane?

Lastly, I have heard MoPo has handed a list of players he wants sold to the board, but was wondering if there is any truth in it and if there is how can we manage a team with so many 1st team players being sold? The names I have heard are:-

Kaboul, Chiriches, Townsend, Lennon, Davies, Demebele, Capoue, Soldado, Adebayor and Vorm.

Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - (1) If you are referring to something about TH making an offer of £12M for a player who they can talk to about a move as he will be out of contract in a few days, then it makes no sense. (2) I am not aware of either player leaving Spurs. (c) Sounds like Twitter.}

I can't imagine why we would want to sell Vorm who was brought in as backup to LLoris . and if LLoris is bought by someone at least would give us a GK with PL experience.

I don't think we should sell Davies after one season either, Rose clearly improved but unless there is a good LB available at a fair price I don't see LB as near an issue as RB and CB(s). If we are not careful we wil have a completely new GK and back line . then the settling in, transition, learning to play with each other apologists will reappear.

It is my understanding that because Ings is under 23 years old and homegrown, there are rules in place meaning clubs have to offer money for a player, even if they will be out of contract.

Ings will go to a tribunal if a fee isn't agreed. I honestly think this is Levy making sure that the price is as high as possible so Liverpool don't bid.

{Ed003's Note - Bournemouth will get if I remember right £90k per year he spent there as a youth player and like you say a tribunal will decide the fee wherever he goes if a fee can't be agreed between Burnley and whoever he signs for, the cynic in me would say the £12m will now be Burnley's valuation of Ings but that's just my opinion.}
