Fulham fans: Guaranteed to score against us in two weeks.

Everyone wants a bit of Carlo.

No downside to this deal at all for us. It's a smart move from the club and King has a lot to prove. If he can chip in with a few goals and take the burden odd Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison then sound.

I always knew that would be the way, Ancelotti can attract the best, King isn’t the best but I the summer we attracted some of the best available, I expect the same in the summer, top top striker RB and Winger, then Ancelotti is making the team totally his own.

Pretty happy with that. He’s not a world beater but he’s decent and offers something a bit different. He’s an upgrade on tosun in my book. My only concern would be him getting a pre contract elsewhere and phoning it in here so as not to ruin it, but hopefully we’ve structured the deal in a way that mitigates that risk.

I said hours ago (seems days ago now) hes a solid option. 2 me he can be a like for like replace for Dom when needed, but can also play in the 10 and on the right or left. One of a few who can effectively cover Richarlison and Dom. Not too many of such player knocking about.

There are transfers that have a higher ceiling than others. As a club that doesn't have the ability to sign whoever we feel like we should try to have more of our signings be those for me. This is the opposite. This is a low floor signing. Those don't do anything for you if you aren't already competitive.

Kevin Campbell was a low floor signing, so was Paul Power. You never know what can happen, not everything is so black and white.

Doesn't matter now anyway like.

It sounds like we’ve offered a deal on our terms.

No stupid wages, take it or go play for someone else.

Interested in seeing the finer details of the deal, it sounds like a creative one for a change.

To not sign a striker would be absolutely criminal, so at least they’ve done that.

Let’s judge him on his form for Everton when he plays, not what he’s done before.

Read on this forum so many times that players we’ve been linked to are not good enough for Everton, such as Raul Jiminez when we were linked to him a few years ago. Let’s see how he goes.

Callum Wilson for instance lol

I was going to point out your typing error, then realised that you were right!

Very clever deal.
A great opportunity for King and I think that what he brings is what we are missing pace and grit.
He has six months to convince Carlo that he deserves a longer contracts.

If Carlo says “he is good enough “ then “he is good enough”.
He does look as though he is prepared to put a shift in, might rub off on some of our lazy gits.

Doesn't really seem much downside if the reporting is accurate. We get him on short term, if he impresses then will likely sign, if not we move on.

Quick player, can play across all 3 forward positions, presses high up the pitch, defensively sound as well if his stats are accurate.

PNE announced Gordon. So this is done.

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

a much better deal than i had feared, we must be learning...

 

[tim cahill]

Warming to this deal since the details have come out. If he has an impact then he could be a bargain, if he flops then we haven't lost much.
