Confirmed Signing Josh King

[brieverton]

There only seems to be the most tepid of links, I don't see it happening really.

They may decide to keep their powder dry until January, which is fine. I think we'll have to do something by then though, if nothing materialises.

It's not all about covering for injuries either. We can't expect 90 minutes game in game out from DCL and Richy. Bringing on fresh legs with 20 minutes left is important, and we need options in tight games. Kings appeal is in his versatility.

With Kean, you never felt he was going to have an impact and even though he had limited minutes, he never much gave the impression he could do something. Tosun is the same, it would feel like a change for changes sake.

 

[Groucho]

The lads in the pub tell me he’d be decent as back up.

 

[Brennan]

People are including Simms and Tosun in our backups ? Might as well include that Thierry Small.

 

[Ring master]

 

[MikeH72]

DCL Richarlison Tosun Simms for one central striking position until January. What’s the problem?

The problem is Cenk Tosun being anywhere near a football pitch at any point.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Guarantee they want £20m+

 

[Lelouch]

I thought 10m was enough???

 

[PhilM]

For the right price, I don't see how many people could complain about adding a relatively capable and proven centre-forward to our squad.

Whether Bournemouth would release him for the right price is another matter entirely.

 

[Brennan]

1 in 3 in the Prem is worth more than £13m.

Dont really see the point in buying this lad . Would be another bench warmer on a bench that is already to full . Better to give Simms a go and we also have Tosun if we are stuck ..be better going after Sarr or the Brentford lad as they are young and will improve. Most of kings goals were penalties as well ...not a good plan

 

[MikeH72]

I don’t think we’re even interested in him you know.

 

[Bebeto]

Guarantee they want £20m+

Guarantee then that they will get nothing as coming next summer he will be free to go.

 

[Blue_in_london]

Just put Big Dunc back in the team...he'd love the service coming into the box at the moment!

 

[Efcjake]

It's Richarlison, Tosun, and Simms this year lads. We can close the thread.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Cant believe we aint going for this kid.

An injury to DCL or Richarlison and its bare bones up top and Tosun/Iwobi dont cut the mustard.

£15 million is pittance these days - get him in and loan/sell Tosun in January
