Every time I have seen him he just looks like a poor man's Raheem Sterling, what's so great about this guy and is he really going to improve the squad that much?
What am I missing with Tom Ince?

I forgot to add "apparently". I'm not too overjoyed about that transfer either.
Funnily enough I mentioned Nugent as well when I discussed Ince joining with my brother.
Your brother is joining Ince?
really? We're at that level?
I'm only busting chops here.
Was he born in Argentina by any chance? He appears to be two footed.
Which is the point
Heh, you could say the same about Glenjo, tbf.
How much did Utd pay for Zaha, a Championship player?
What's your point?
It was a question.
£15m
Im not reading the rest of the thread (in a rush, apologies) but if we're willing to pay well above what we sold him for then I reckon people on a better level to make judgement than you or me are convinced he can fit the bill. If he's playing good football in the championship and that put him in contention to come back here so quickly then Rodgers and our scouting staff must believe he's worth the price on his head. Yes it may be the championship, but both Swansea and Norwich have shown that their players can adapt to the premier league in style. I hate seeing us lose money on players as we always get get anally raped with transfers but if he's deemed good enough so be it. Just take it as a lesson and next time insert a fucking buyback clause.
If Ince comes to us, surely he'd interchange with Sterling. However, Ince needs to be playing regular games if he comes.
If we were in the Champions League, you can have a rotation policy of first team players, but I'm not sure we can at the moment. We would have Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling, Coutinho, Ince and Downing for the front 3, and I'm not convinced we've got the games to keep them all happy.
He looks a good talent, but do we really need him now?

There are plenty of kids here now who look good without banging on the first team door. Several wouldn't spark a fan outrage if they were moved on, but it wouldn't be a great surprise if they ended up doing really well, at which point the same fans would start saying, 'Why did we let them go?' Ince showed flashes of bright potential when he was here, often engulfed in shadows of indifferent form, when he seemed to regard reserve games as an al fresco waiting room for the 'proper' matches that he seemed to expect as a matter of right. It's undeniable now that he's blossomed into a decent young player who could certainly improve the squad, but there was no shame at all in us letting him go. He was offered an exceptionally good contract - better than he deserved in terms of the previous year's performances - and he snubbed it. If he comes now it will leave a bit of a bitter taste in the mouth mainly due to Blackpool's antics, but that wouldn't last long, and the positive thing is he has good pace, can play on the left or right or (in an emergency) centre, and, most valuably, unlike Sterling he has a real nose for goals.
I don't mind the fact that we let him go, its the fact we didn't sort out a buy back clause that irritates me.
We couldn't, he was out of a contract.
We sold him for 250k with a 35% sell on clause. We could have had a first option buy back thingy as well Im sure. Anyways that's in past. If rodgers wants him i hope we get him. He seems to be a goalscorer which is what of need
Then how the fuck have we managed to secure a 35% sell on fee???
