Confirmed Signing Josh King

[Leylo]

Our scouting network must be insane

It got as far as Bournemouth

Bid for solanke going in next, pffft

 

[matty1878]

He’s blessed with lightning pace.... we are not I’m in

 

[Terrarian]

I remember most of us being delighted when we signed Sandro.

You just never know. You will be parting when he nods in his 10th goal of the season as we romp on to our first league title in decades come April...

If he comes in and scores ten goals. christ, even if he proves competent, I'll be happy. Let's see.

 

[Bluestar]

He's on bad form for the first half of the season in a poor league, no doubt.

He also had a decent scoring rate playing for a poor side in the Premier League over a number of years.

He had one big season. That’s all.

 

[Goodison87]

But it's not just 5 million, by all reports is wage demands are massive. Possibly another greedy arse coming through the door.

Aren’t they all? 2 yr deal wouldn’t be a problem if he chipped in with a few goals / assists / pace. Options if DCL unavailable are priceless...

 

[matty1878]

And then there are signings of convenience, every top side in the world makes them.

United signed igahalo last year

 

[Tubey]

He’s blessed with lightning pace.... we are not I’m in

Is he?

 

[Blunatic]

Also his record in the prem and at international level where he's played for below average sides is 1 goal every 3 games. I'm liking this potential signing more by the second for 5-6m what's not to like?

We have a scouting system !!!

I couldn't care less what wages we pay him if it's just until the summer. Why would any fan not want to being a striker in on loan right now, when the alternative seems to be playing Sigurdsson up front whenever DCL is injured or suspended, as is bound to happen. King has 48 Premier League goals to his name, for godsake, playing for a low ranked team. He's not the future of Everton, but he's shown that he's well capable of doing a job for us and bagging us some vital points before the end of the season.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Sky finally reporting it, saying Fulham agreed a deal as well

 

[jazzy]

SSN now confirms that both us and Fulham have agreed terms with Bournemouth. Difficult to see how we can agree personal terms and get a medical done before 11pm.

 

[Zezti]

Imagine if after all this he bins us off for Fulham

Plus he has that snide in him, look what Wilson did to us the other day
