Confirmed Signing Josh King

[CielosGrises]

No harm in loaning Simms if he isn't quite there this year. Just don't overpay for King if he is backup.

The issue for Brooks is of course the price. I do wonder if we are hedging, hoping Brooks and Sarr come down in price if they don't get promoted.

To some degree, it's also why I can see some retience of PL teams giving championship teams money. I mean they are asking for £40m for players and pleading poverty, which does feel a bit odd.

I think you get him for 25-30 mill with add ins similar to Godfrey mate. The price doesn’t concern me given his age and value as an investment, it’s whether we can add to our cost base, which we probably can’t or need an input from a clever out or a regulation amnesty.

Cant see it myself, but he would be the one I’d be interested in, if we got drunk and woke up the next morning with a pocket full of change.

If he's good enough, he'll get chances. If he isn't, then he won't.

It's not a good enough excuse not to strengthen the squad to say that youth will be left behind and a well managed club won't let that happen anyway. There are plenty of top teams out there with loads of options, but where the best young prospects have managed to earn their place on merit.

know, it does feel like the kind of underwhelming signing we'd make in recent past which usually doesn't turn out great when we feel like this. I don't think we can rely on youth with such an opportunity thats here, though. We need someone in. It's a shame of we can resolve this as we may come to rue it if the opportunity is lost

If we sign King, Simms can’t get near the squad for at least two years.

I doubt Simms ever gets near the squad anyway.

I doubt Simms ever gets near the squad anyway.

He won't if not given some game time if only as a sub for 5/10 minutes.

 

[riddick]

If we do a 2+1 or even a 2+1+1 option for him then whats the real harm? He covers a lot of positions we don't really have a lot of cover for.

Simms would be better off going out on loan, maybe to league 1 level, and playing every week.

That wont be the reason.

That wont be the reason.

Enlighten me, please

U23 level is probably 1 of the worst levels of football in England.

Walking football is pretty crap.

I rate it higher than U23.

Welllll..... I've got no where else to go in this debate,au revoir.

Walking football is pretty crap.

Over- 85s walking football has to be the worst. Toilet breaks every two minutes or so.

Looks like he's running out of options really. Could see us just low balling Bournemouth tomorrow and trying to get him to force the move.

WBA now out of the running. They just signed some lad from Huddersfield for £15 million
