For sure he clearly is in the discussion for records and or titles in the seasons to come.
The world record holder in the 2000m, 3000m and 2 Miles who just turned 25 obviously is in the mix. The guy who just 7 or 8 months ago became double world indoor champ and set 2 world indoor records in the 1500m and the Mile, who is the 4th and 3rd fastest ever outdoors is in the mix for everybody not as stupid and ignorant as you.
Will he be back (when?) to his best form before his injuries? We don't know.
His chances to break the 3 marks in the next season (during his career)?
Maybe something like
3:26.00 - 10% (15%)
3:43.13 - 20% (30%)
12:35.36 - 25% (40%)
What do YOU think his chances are?
If he can be healthy for a good stretch he has a very good chance of getting them all. 7:17 3k! Superior to all those WRs, no?
3:26.00, 7:17.55 and 12:35.36 are really very close to each other.
He definitely is better over 3000m than over 1500m. We have to wait for the 5000m.

He has to be healthy for a full year while training and competing to his full capacity - and with a history of Achilles injuries. That's what it would take, because while being able to take the 3k record the 1500, mile and 5k have so far been out of reach.
Since 1970 there are no "Empire and Commonwealth Games" anymore. It was the last year you have watched live athletics?
The Commonwealth Games, which succeeded the Empire Games, continue today. Were you only born in the last decade?
You talked about the "Empire and Commonwealth Games" - which were held under this name for the last time in 1966. Was it the last championships which you watched? I actually would be surprised if you watched them, since your two gods already had stopped running.
I wonder why Elliott, Snell Ryun, Walker, Ovett, Coe, Cram, Morcelli and El G - and now Ingebrigtsen - all rated the mile record as one of the biggest and most desirable in the sport? It is obviously a minor low-status event since it isn't a championship distance today. Jakob should be told not to bother.

The Commonwealth Games succeeded the Empire Games - a change in name only - but that requires a knowledge of the history of the sport that you don't have. The Commonwealth Games continue today.

What do YOU think his chances are?
All of your points only apply if he had not suffered further injury this year. He had nothing of his previous form at the world's. There is no guarantee that he will ever regain that form. As it is the demands he has placed on his Achilles that caused those injuries the likelihood is they will return if he trains and competes at his peak level - which is what he would have to do to take the records he says he will get.
Absolutely, no guarantee.
How do you rank his chances for the 1500m, Mile or 5000m WR?
If he can be healthy for a good stretch he has a very good chance of getting them all. 7:17 3k! Superior to all those WRs, no?

"He definitely is better over 3000m than over 1500m". We don't know that. Jakob's 3k WR is superior to the 1500m and 5k records based on the current world athletics scoring tables

You got it! So fast - how did you do it? Have you already learned to use Google?

When we look at his achievements at the 800m and the 5000m, it's safe to state that he must be better at 3000m then at 1500m.
Those tables always prefere the lesser run events.

How do you rank his chances for the 1500m, Mile or 5000m WR?
Prior to his injuries I would have said he might have had a chance over the mile. The 1500 was probably too short and the 5k not in his wheelhouse at sub 12:35. His best distances are from 2k-2mile.
With the injuries he is now incurring I would say his chances of breaking these three very tough records is about zero. It's just brave talk, designed to shore up his damaged reputation after the dismal showing at the world's.

He never runs the 800m. His top times over 1500m and one mile are superior to those he has run over 5k (to be fair, he has limited his 5k running to championships the past few years).

the ..., mile ... so far been out of reach.
Out of reach?
3:26.73 is worth around 3:43.13 - and he definitely is stronger over the Mile than over 1500m. The Mile WR definitely was not out of reach for him in 2024.

Do you really question that he is much better over 5000m than over 800m? Please rethink your argumentation here.

About zero - for a 25 years old guy whose 1500m PB is worth around the same than the Mile WR.

It's Morceli.
Where has Ingebrigtsen rated the mile record as one of the biggest and most desirable in the sport?
He want's to have all the WRs starting with 1500m (up to the Half Marathon?). I'm not sure if he still thinks it's possible (for me it's unrealistic). But a Mile is a distance were WRs are kept and it is longer than 1500m (now that you can use google you maybe can check it for yourself - give it a try).
