How Twitter reacted to Liverpool signing Burnely's Danny Ings
According to BBC Sport, Liverpool have today confirmed the signing of Burnley striker Danny Ings. The 22-year-old becomes the second summer signing at Anfield after James Milner joined from Manchester City last week.
The England Under-21 international is out of contract at Turf Moor come the end of season and will join the Anfield outfit on 1 July providing all goes well with his medical. All that’s left to agree is the compensation fee that The Clarets are entitled to.
Following an underwhelming season, in which Brendan Rodgers’ side scored just 52 goals, Ings will provide some much needed firepower upon his arrival.
The Clarets frontman scored 11 goals in the Premier League this season, despite his side’s eventual relegation, outscoring the Reds’ top scorer for the season, Steven Gerrard, with just nine.
Between them, the Liverpool front-four – Daniel Sturridge, Rickie Lambert, Mario Balotelli and Fabio Borini – scored just eight times. As a consequence, it is likely that Ings will make an instant impact.
Is PSGs Business Model Destined To Fail?
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the Burnley striker’s confirmed transfer:
Many were delighted with Rodgers’ latest acquisition.
Liverpool are doing much needed business, signing @IngsDanny . He's got bags of potential. Wish him well.

#LFC confirm they've reached a pre-contract agreement with Danny Ings. Great young player. Will be a brilliant squad addition we reckon!

Danny Ings is a good signing for Liverpool. He's free, he'll score you a few goals and he's English. Perfect squad player. #LFC

Liverpool fans now desperately trying to convince themselves that Danny Ings is exactly the striker they need.

Danny Ings eh? I'll turn against him as soon as someone calls him 'Dings'… #LFC

Meanwhile, Luis Suarez to Danny Ings in the space of 13 months gets even more unappealing and disastrous.

The same people saying Ings is a good signing were saying exactly same about lambert last summer
