We're Ings the money.

[Mystic]

Or not.

Liverpool Football Club can confirm the decision taken by the Professional Football Compensation Committee on Tuesday in relation to the registration of Danny Ings.

The guaranteed compensation fee, set by the PFCC tribunal, was £6.5million, plus £1.5million in contingent amounts dependent on player performance.
The club has given the following response to the outcome: “Liverpool Football Club would like to thank the PFCC panel for their time and diligence in deciding this matter.
“We believe the process was conducted fairly and we respect the outcome.
“We are pleased for Danny Ings, in particular, that this chapter is now complete and he can look forward to a long and successful career at Liverpool.”

Far from excessive for a more than decent player who - if he can now stay fit - should do well in Klopp's system IMO.

 

[Fabio]

That's good. I'd have paid 8m for him

 

[jexykrodic]

Very reasonable fee. I'd guess Burnley FC will be disappointed.

 

[Mystic]

He's 100% worth the cash, can't wait for him to be back. I worried they'd push it closer to £12m.

 

[Hansern]

Thats a decent fee that. Quite happy with it.

Burnley had provided 400-500 pages of scout reports, analysis etc to tribunal hearing. Bit much eh..

From Bascombe;

For comparison, in 2009 Chelsea were ordered to pay Man City £3.5m for Sturridge, with £3m add-ons & 15% of any future sale. Total: £8.3m

I've seen a lot more pages produced for an awful lot less money than 8m.

 

[cloggypop]

20% sell on clause as well.

Yes. If I were on such a tribunal and were presented with all that, I'd suspect the club concerned of trying to blind me with information overload.

 

[gkmacca]

Excellent. Tough luck Tottenham - that cynical bid of £12m was just spiteful, they knew damn well Ings was already committed to us.

To be fair, they probably already had all of the reports - why not send them in.

 

[KopRed]

A fair amount I reckon. My only gripe about him is his average pace. If he is a little quicker he would be worth double this.

 

[Hansern]

To be fair, they probably already had all of the reports - why not send them in.

Yeah, maybe. It was just everything that they had included.. 😉

 

[manwithnoname]

Or not.

About what everyone predicted 6-8m, never going to be more than 10

Fair enough

 

[Hansern]

I've seen a lot more pages produced for an awful lot less money than 8m.

Very true. It was just an insane amount of documents.
Weird that it took 10 months to get this sorted though. Should have been done much earlier.

 

[Mors]

From what I've seen of him he's worth that.

 

[Judge Jules]

Because just throwing everything you've got at a tribunal like that creates a very bad impression. It suggests you yourself haven't been carefully enough through it to decide what the really important bits are. Tribunals do not like being expected to do a party's work for them in such a way.
