What does that have to do with the present topic of conversation
Everything.
An experienced player, who has already proven himself in the premiership and has shown that he can score goals.
He can cover two or three positions and would at the very least provide competition for those already in the starting positions.
Because Bournemouth were relegated and because he is in the last year of his contract he will be signed for relatively small money.
We now have DCL and Richarlison who can play as a striker but if Richarlison has to play in the middle it weakens us on the left, we have absolutely no cover up front.
Given our record with injuries we are not getting through this season with just the players we have and one or two injuries could cause huge problems for us , just as we have played the last three game with two centre halves fit.

Even when you've been given £85,90 million.?
I think some though only due to his age he was too expensive. But I see your point
koeman and walsh though...but wasn't it walsh who signed DCL
Unsworth seemingly wanted DCL signed

Just don’t see the same player you do I’m afraid.
His goal scoring record is frankly unexceptional ,mostly single figures , his assists are likewise just about average.
We have more of a need for a right sided forward and he prefers the left when he’s not central.
He is 28 and a three year contract would saddle us with a very average player who in all likelihood we would hope to improve on before his contract expired.
If we have no one better in mind I would prefer we brought Simms through , personally.
it’s not happening

He has two seasons in double figures. One of them he scored 7 goals from open play and 5 penalties. The other was a solid season, but it was 2016/17. I agree with you completely.
I am not saying he is a world beater, but we are not signing anybody for 40m anytime soon.
We need to deepen our squad.
I listened to Harry Redknapp the other night talk about Spurs and it was all about the squad and the strength of the squad.
We have lost two players that can play up front(Walcott and Kean) and not replaced either.
If we sign some talented 22 year old striker or wide man I would prefer that but just can't see where he is coming from. Josh King should be cheap and still at a good age, if he does well you could get your money back even in two years time.

He'd play a lot.

Super sub to wear down defenses late. Or add that bit of extra attacking bite when we need it.

If DCL or Richarlison need a rest or get a knock, King would be an excellent alternative.

If we have the funds, I hope we try to make this signing. We may make further savings with sales/loans to EFL clubs as well.
They can decide to look at other options in January perhaps, but with the league potentially in a fluid state, we don't want a lack of cover as the reason we fell short.
I don't think anyone advocating signing King is proclaiming him to be some world-beater, clearly he isn't but for the low cost and variability he offers, it's an opportunity to round off this phase of the rebuild very nicely. Not a big name, but far from useless. He could bag 8-10 goals in this team with this support over a full season and that's worth paying £10m for.

I have my doubts about King; a one year loan deal as a back-up to DCL/Richie could be justified. No way I want to sign a player of 28 on a three year contract that isn't good enough for a starting place.
There must be lower league strikers that have more potential else in our own under23/21 squads

I understand your thoughts and what you are saying but this could be one of those one year wonders like Leicester City had a few year ago. We must strengthen the forward line a bit so we don't fall in dormancy.
