Top 3 Returning Players To Southampton FC 11:35 - Jul 25 with 1220 viewsSaintNick

With the rumour of the return of Danny Ings, the question is whether it is a good thing to return to a former club, but there are some who have done it.

1. Mick Channon- left in 1977 for Manchester City, returned just over two years later.

2. Alan Ball, Joined in December 1976, left for the first time in in June 1979 when he joined Vancouver Whitecaps then Blackpool as player manager, rejoined Saints in March 1981 and left again in October 82, rejoined as manager January 1994, left for the final time in June 1995 to manage Man City.

3. Graham Baker, became the fastest scorer for Saints on his debut in November 1977, left for Manchester City in July 1982 to finance the purchase of Peter Shilton, returned in the summer of 1987, left for the final time in 1990

Thats my top 3, I'm sure there are more, strangely all three left the club at some stage for Manchester City

1. Kevin Davies
2. Kevin Phillips
3. Dennis Wise

Mmmm, not entirely successful……

Poll: Would you take going down to League 1 if it meant new owners coming in?

Not to be too pedantic, Wise and Phillips never played at first team level or got professional contracts

Where is the Ings rumour coming from?

I’d like him back actually.

His legs have gone for the Prem, but I think he could be a key player in the Championship.

Thought he was supposed to be going to Leicester…..

Could play a cameo role this season a la Billy Sharp at Sheffield Utd.

Maybe.

I think Ings has a bit more about him though.

Sharp hardly scored a goal last season.

Billy is 37 now , so doing well to still be playing , he was released by Sheffield United at the end of last season, could still do a job in the lower leagues, but not sure at Championship level anymore

Ings' wages will surely be too much. I think he'll see out his contract in the medical suite at West Ham.

Best West Ham can hope is a loan deal that covers his wages , at £120k a week even that is going to cost the club who borrows him about £6 million for the season
