Former Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has told talkSPORT Charlie Austin and Burnley’s Danny Ings would be big hits at Liverpool if they move to Anfield in the summer.The bargain pair have both been linked with the Merseyside club, and the confirmation of both clubs’ relegation has practically paved the way for their exits.It is thought Austin, 25, who has netted 17 times for the rock-bottom Rangers this season, could be available for under £10million, while 23-year-old Ings, whose contract expires at the end of the campaign, may be snapped up for as little as £4m in compensation fees.Reds boss Brendan Rodgers admits he’s been ‘impressed’ by Ings in particular this season, and Redknapp believes both young stars will bag more goals at a bigger club.He told the Sports Bar: “Charlie’s had an excellent season.“He’ll score goals anywhere, he’s proved that this season, and wherever he has been he’s always scored. I wouldn’t see that changing with him.“If he doesn’t stay at QPR then I’m sure someone will take him. He’s a great finisher, he’s hungry and he works hard.“Like the boy, Ings, at Burnley, he’ll score wherever he goes. They’re talking about Liverpool taking him, if they do I’d like to have bet he gets between 15 and 20 goals next year.“I think he would in the right team, in a team like Liverpool who create loads of chances, I think Ings would score lots of goals there.”

For many Donegal supporters he was the man-of-the-match against Mayo in the All-Ireland final, but unfortunately the accolade hasn’t been awarded to him.However, his brother Neil also had a superb campaign, and he was rewarded for that, with his third All-Star in just four years for his incredible and consistent performances over the last number of years.But before Neil can start bragging, he was reminded of the title he lost to his older sibling.McGee tweeted, “I once beat our Neil at a sprint in the community games at u12’s, the trophy is still there on the mantle-piece, he now has three all stars though.” EAMON MCGEE PUTS HIS BROTHER BACK IN HIS BOX WITH TWITTER ADMISSION was last modified: October 23rd, 2014 by Mark ForkerShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Tags:All-Star AwardsdonegalEamonn McGeeGAAnewsSport
