Praise the Lord. This love in with average players who “great blokes” needs to lessen if we want to win the title. Wish him the best though, but not our level.

Feel for him, didn’t get the best of luck but he needs to move on now. Wish him all the best when he does go.

Think it's the right decision for him and the club can get a good fee.

Opinion
It is easy to see why the Liverpool fans are happy to see the exit, and some of those will also have the player as well as the club in mind. It simply has not worked out for Ings at Anfield, no thanks to his disastrous injury record, and with the Reds now pushing for glory on both the domestic and European stage again, improvements are needed. He will leave Merseyside well respected by most of the supporters, who will no doubt remember his dedication and hard work when he was fit, but leaving is without a doubt best for everyone moving forward.
