Confirmed Signing Josh King

[Egil Olsen]

I watch footie with my eyes also and he's crap. He had one good year and people act like that he's that guy when it is an anomaly.

And if he isn't coming on loan that means we have to give him a new contract, as in multiple years, and a pay bump. Not for me.

You don't build squad depth by signing average (I'll be generous) players.

My eyes obviously do not see what you see. He's not crap, and he's had several good seasons at Bournmouth.

He has played lw / lm, ss and cf. He can play in any position that Richarlison plays.

King is even more extreme than Richarlison. He is faster, stronger, and better 1 vs. 1. The concern is his injury history. But I do not see that there are any better alternatives available on the market.

29 in a couple of days, would imagine he doesn't want to go to a club to be a back up striker.

I'd say he'd happily leave Bournemouth to be a squad player here under Ancelotti. Pretty sure he would go towards our home grown quota too since he came to Manchester very young.

I promise there are better signings to be made than a 29 year old who isn't playing in the championship. I'd rather just wait for the summer if this is the option.

Ancelotti has pull, but I think he would choose to be playing regular footy (not at Bournemouth) than sitting on the bench as a back - up striker just because Ancelotti is our manager. Maybe if he was still a young player it would be different, but as I say he's 29.

Surely it’s the other way round? In the twilight of your career you want the most wages at the best club regardless of appearances. As a kid you want to be playing every week.

This makes it sound like we're bringing in another Bolasie but on purpose

Yeah money talks, supposedly he's on £65k a week now, would like to think we wouldn't be offering him that kind of money if we were interested.

Is this real life?

No my guy, just no.

Have we even been linked with him? What’s the reason for these last two pages?

Just to rile Zat up a bit I think.

King is better then richarlison? Heard it all now

It does not say that, does it?

 

[jerseytoffee]

Not good enough for our starting 11, but could be a decent Marcus Bent type signing, who I’m sure we all thought wasn’t good enough.

Be an out ball, run the channels and put teams on the back foot with his pace. He can play a number of positions too.

Would love us to get a better striker, but he’s proven in the league unlike a Diaz or Jovic been mentioned, who could take half a season to get used to the league.

Certainly suggested it.
