Wishlist Danny Ings v Charlie Austin

[Spike 12,049]

There always seems to be a striker in the Premier League that is of questionable ability but is absolutely killing in it the goals department. They show up for one season and then never find their shooting boots again. Jelavic, Sisse, Ba (to an extent), Santa Cruz, Carroll, Zaki, Michu, Gyan, Ricketts, the list is never ending. This season's flavour is a mix of Danny Ings for Burnley and Charlie Austin for Queens Park.

Ings has a respectable seven goals for Burnley, while Charlie Austin has nearly double at thirteen goals. It also debetable that Ings is the more technically gifted of the two. Ings is the smaller of the two; standing & weighing at at 178cm, 73kg and Austin at: 188cm, 84kg. Ings is also the younger of the two being twenty-two while Austin is twenty-five.

They are both English and fit a need for home-grown talent. I'm not starting a debate on youth or Patrick fucking Bamford so at the moment forget about it. Who has the longetivity to make it in the Premier League? Which is the better player? Which player could handle the pressure at Chelsea? Will the two be forgotten in three years and I'll be embarassed for making this topic? Will I be mocked like the time that Term-X made a post about Andy Carroll being the perfect 9 for Chelsea and proceeded to post a picture of a Chelsea shirt with "Carroll 9" on the back?

Where's the option for neither? I pick that one.

The secret third option is a night with yours truly.

Neither of them. Just stick with Bamford.

Deffenetly Danny Ings, maybe if he on the right!

Difference is Charlie Austin has always had a fantastic goal scoring record. He's scored 20,12,16,24,19,13 and still counting in each of his 6 seasons as a pro. Whether he can replicate it at a top club is the only question but there's only one way to find out.

The drinks I had last night must have hit me pretty hard to make this topic. Geez, I'm turning into a lightweight.

Ings and Austin are the type of player's where you acknowledge they are good player's and are doing well for there club but when they are linked with big clubs your like, really?
