It was a good pen, but still not convinced he’d be our undisputed pen taker if we were to bring King in.

Digne, James. A backup/rotation player isn't going to be our key penalty taker.

Have either ever took one in their careers?

Not coming here, 15 million and wants close to 85k per week

Average at best

Rodriguez scored 13, missed 3.
Digne scored 1 missed 0.

They are set piece takers, id bet on them scoring a pen more often than not.

Its not the nfl though, not going to be bringing a player on just for a pen. So we arent going to be using a back up player as our pen taker.

He's in the last year of his contract and almost 30. Why anyone would want him for more than £10m is a bit odd to me..

Milner is a back up player and takes every pen when he’s on the pitch? Sometimes it’s a player’s strongest attribute. There are far better players with far worse records from the spot than King.

King is still with Norway till Wednesday evening, so we can be busy checking the flight trackers from Oslo into J Lennon airport on Thursday lol

No great expectation that is it? I'd back myself to do that. In fact I'd back my mother too.

Don’t see this one happening. If he was available on the cheap and for reasonable wages then maybe but it sounds like that isn’t the case.

I've got better things to do with my time.

Actually, I haven't. See you in the control tower.

Call me fickle but I've changed my mind on him, thought we could have got him for a low fee but just don't see it now.

Wonder if there's any striker we could get for a low fee or loan in the Championship who'd be worth a whirl

The problem with this signing is it'll only be handy for a couple of seasons or we can just wait and sign someone much younger and better in the summer if Kean goes, Also read in the Guardian or Telegraph he's had enough of playing as a left forward and wants to be seen as a no.9
