It only took six weeks but Danny Ings has gone from residing in the upper peak of the Championship standings to meeting the lowest peak instead.
Three days from now, and we will be testing how true Opta's August Championship thoughts have gone. Now, they ranked Middlesbrough as the clear champ in matters related to a hardships-plagued start but did they mistook it for Boro's final season look?
Because, Saints need to ask this or else how would they tell their ex-attacker Danny Ings about the chance he flubbed. Honestly, the 32-year-old deserves a gentle pass from St. Mary's faithful because the Chuba Akpom saga impacted his fate over there.
One, which has flipped upside down from the compliments of being on the division's peak, to now landing four point besides where Southampton are. They are Sheffield and even their second division fans will have no idea why they are caught-up so low.
Ings and Selles meetup will irk Southampton fans
About Ings, Sheffield United penned down these words on his recruit: "Danny Ings becomes a Blade after a short period training with the club, with the former Liverpool and Southampton ace signing a one-year deal with the option to extend."
Saints will feel delighted that Ruben Selles got to signing some Southampton names finally, but Ings is a strange pick. The attacker is at an age where pulling down divisions in one's career usually coincides with shaking hands with a known coach but him and Selles weren't related back at St. Mary's.
But Sheffield United fans know that engaging over these slight details is the last thing they must prioritize. Otherwise, the league is for the likes of Southampton and others to decide, if not then atleast the promotion places are.
Individually, Ings will have Southampton fans ready to rank him alongside their frontmens' numbers. We know the former can put almost all of his Saints counterparts on the bench in his old days, but how good can he do now?
