Confirmed Signing Josh King

[TheBigIguana]

"He's an option."

He's not though. A proper option is someone who could actually start games. That's how you build a strong squad. Not by buying players who clearly are backups but by buying players who will make an actual push the quality of the players who can start games up.

I like Josh King. If we signed him in the summer we’d have been better off.

However my Bournemouth supporting mate thinks he’s going to Fulham

 

[wainy]

wonder what the fee is,

40m

 

[Nymzee]

If he comes here and does the business I deserve a bloody statue built of me, him and DCL.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Can play across the front 3 and is a massive improvement on Tosun, he's a good option to have come on from the bench, don't get the moaning, we wasn't exactly gonna sign a huge player in January, but this others good cover

He can't. He's played 500 minutes at RW in his entire career. DCL has more experience wide right.

 

[tommytowne]

Fee agreed.

Trying to beat the deadline.
We know how this ends.

 

[JMT]

Would have been better to save this money used on King for someone with more potential in the Summer.
Get us Europe or win us the derby or he's crap.

5/6m Sky say mate which i think is great business of true.

For the 1st time ever on transfer deadline,i have not had a single second of sky on, as they go overkill on things that are not happening, or just make stuff up to pass the time by as we know, maybe put it on with about 30 to go

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

One of those players who always seemed to get possessed by the spirit of a prime Brazil star when playing against us.
Doubtful but I hope he can give us something for more than 12 months.


Why would bournemouth loan out a decent (by their level) player who is out of contract in the summer?

6 month loan with option to buy - takes his wages off their books straight away.
He’s been stinking their gaff out for months apparently.

irrelevant now as it looks like it’s a perm deal...FFS!

 

[BenToffee79]

It’s Brand’s job and I don’t think he is doing a great job to be honest.

How about if he joins ,just see if he’s any good for us before judging

 

[KaiserEFC]

Bit a of ‘meh’ signing but he could do a job for us. At least it’s not on a permanent deal.

Contracts up at the end of the season isn’t it?

Hence the scare quotes.

Buy from who?? he would actually be out of contract and no longer anyone's to sell.

 

[MikeH72]

This is a good move for him to put himself in Gareth Southgate’s plans for the Euros, good luck lad.

 

[maccavennie]

Wages really high tho

We'll see wont we mate or I'm sure we'll get an idea. I'd be surprised of its as big as has been mentioned.
