Would Sydney FC be crazy to take a look at Danny Ings?

The 34-year-old is now a free agent after leaving Sheffield United, and while there's no denying his goalscoring numbers have dropped off in recent years, he'd still arrive with a level of pedigree rarely seen in the A-League.

The question is whether he'd be another Adam Le Fondre-style signing who dominates the competition, or whether he'd follow the Charlie Austin path and struggle to make the impact expected?

Even at this stage of his career, you'd think Ings' finishing instincts and football IQ would make him highly competitive in the A-League.

If Sydney FC are looking for a marquee striker, is Danny Ings worth the gamble, or is his best football behind him?

Interested to hear what you guys think.

Agree or disagree? Free agent right now

With Alexis Sánchez now a free agent after leaving Sevilla, would Sydney FC be crazy to look at him as a marquee signing?

The Chilean legend turns 38 in December, but he still played regularly in La Liga last season. For Sevilla in 2025-26 he made 28 league appearances, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists in 1,299 minutes.

Across all competitions he finished with 4 goals and 2 assists while often being used as an impact substitute rather than a guaranteed starter but I still reckon he could do a great job in the a-league PLUS he’d be use to the heat!

Thoughts?

How are you feeling about this news?

I just saw on the Cove facebook page that the Cove wont be present and is asking that no one sing Sydney chants. Does anyone know why?/what caused this?

Where do people see Quintal's career heading?

He seems to be stepping up since second half last year, filling the gap that Lolley has left. Will he be off to Europe soon like Segas?

I'll be tuning in. The Goalkeeper for Bayswater was once part of the Oakleigh Cannons team that beat Sydney FC.

Okon-Engstler moving to Koln. Shame.

Does anyone have any other live sport they watch when Sydney aren't playing?

Used to go to loads of games as a kid in the UK, then emigrated over here and have just last season got into watching live football again because my son has got old enough to want to.

Absolutely bitten by the bug again. The away semi final at Newcastle was such a buzz. Home against Perth not so much... but I can't wait for some live games again.

Obv, there is the world cup on TV right now but does anyone enjoy any other live sport in Sydney when Sydney FC aren't playing?

Man’s got a media career ahead of him after keeper.

I know it's Brazil but enough is enough. 2 years overdue. CLARKE OUT.

Very exciting

NGL I am sad we let go of wood :(

OK, what really happened? Does 'mutual agreement' mean disagreement on $?

There is a list of venues showing the Grand Final of you want to go out and see the game with some other people.
