Again without Europe they should be able to play once a week for the full 90 mins. If we are up a load of goals and want to rest players then there are options we can mess around with. If we want to change things up we will not get better than what we currently have as we won't be buying better or even similar.
WIthout checking, is that actually the schedule with this compressed season? 1 game a week? If so, then it possibly is a conceivable gamble to just go with what we have, especially that the next transfer window in terms of games played in the meanwhile aren't that many so we have a second chance in (and I just googled it) 6 games' time!

Also having now googled the frequency of games and it's a shade over 1 a week if we get cup games, but about right if we don't. I think I'd rather see Gordon or Simms coming on to relieve one of Richy or DCL and manage their end of game resting times if possible to keep them both fresh if possible than go for King, but I wouldn't be surprised if we get someone like a King in.
 

If we can get rid of someone like Besic and use his wages in someone who might actually be needed in the coming season then it makes sense. Even moving a few of the other, younger players out for small fees would help - if King will sign knowing his role will be on the bench

56 appearances since 2014, absolute joke of a signing that was.
 


I don’t understand why people keep saying “it’s okay if DCL is injured we have Richarlison“

It’s probably a symptom of having such a threadbare squad for such a long time that we don’t feel we’re entitled to the luxury of squad depth.

All the top teams have multiple options off the bench in attacking roles and we should too.

If DCL and Richarlison both got injured we would be completely finished.
 
Nope they are interested but no deal in place
Apparently he's already turned down West Brom as he wants to play at the highest level possible. I can't see him going to West Ham unless they are his only option. He may hold out till the end of the window in the hope we, or someone else come in for him.
