Confirmed Signing Josh King

[BlueStevie35]

Was he like this at PSG?

PSV Jimbo

 

[Nymzee]

Get behind him.

 

[mahermi1]

I don't get it. Is it a loan or not?

£5m for six months would be shocking business.

Up to £5m usually means clauses..so hopefully not.
If true good deal, 6 months, if he's good we get him for free, if he's not we get shut.

 

[T LEAFE]

We have reached the low

 

[Azza]

Up to £5m.


So £500k up front. £4.5m if he scores more than 5 goals.

 

[JMT]

5mil for 6 months ouch

up to 5m chunkz.
doesn't mean it is 5m.

 

[andy4efc]

£5m for 6months from our POV isn’t great like mate.

Up to. It won’t be a 5m flat payment. Goals, apps, whether we take up the option to extend based I’d imagine.

 

[Nymzee]

Didn’t they want like £15-20m for him just 3 months ago?

 

[steven]

Let’s be honest. It’ll be 5 million if we qualify for champions league etc...which won’t happen. Be a couple of million max I imagine everntally with potential of a permanent deal If he does well.

seems a decent enough deal - especially after some of the errors of the pay.

 

[ProZ]

The boy was offered to play with Hamez Rodriquez at Everton or André-Frank Zambo Anguissa at Fulham - wasn't really in doubt

 

[Michaelcoyb]

Took the chance of hoping he was the only one to be right,it looks like

Just lost some credibility in my eyes

 

[kiss the crest]

My feelings on this, if we need a goal with 30 minutes to go and we have King & Gylfi on the bench I know who I want coming on

I don't get it. Is it a loan or not?

No t really a loaner striker would probably have a 2 million loan fee and they might not have had PL experience, King has had a lot we know what we are getting. If he helps us into Europe that would work out a decent deal. I have the feeling it would be a stop gap anyway as I’m sure Ancelotti will want a top top striker in the summer, to propel his project along further. That player or funds would probably not be available now.

 

[Tubey]

Didn’t they want like £15-20m for him just 3 months ago?

Nah a year ago they did. Wanted around 10 in the summer.

 

[maccavennie]

£5m for 6months from our POV isn’t great like mate. We don’t even know how much he’ll be on, hopefully not the £120k pw he was apparently hoping for.....

The way it says potentially rising to 5m makes me think its probably around 3m but if we qualify for Europa it'll go 4m or CL 5m
