Confirmed Signing Josh King

[Eggsyblueskin]

Unimpressive recruitment.

 

[blulouie]

Where?

Official Club site mate.

Little video too.

 

[Furey1878]

Can't argue with nominal fee and 6 month initial contract

 

[Nyhus]

Very disappointed.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Need another forward that can score and here he is. Very sensible.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Better than Tosun, so I can’t complain

 

[Dozbik]

Underwhelming signing but a signing nonetheless! Even if he can bring more impact from the bench than the likes of Bernard it will have been worth it.

 

[The binman chronicles]

I know he isn't what everyone wanted but come on give the guy a chance.

I wonder if Bill did his sales pitch saying "the Evertonians will be behind you 100%"

Yeah ready to stick it in!

The 6 month deal is something I really can't understand just from the club's or his point of view, so if he has a good spell with us he's our player than can just leave and go somewhere else. If he's not good enough then he's released and has to find a new club. Don't understand why he wouldn't have gone to Fulham honestly unless we offered far more wages. I'm assuming we don't have an optional extension in his contract like we do with James so we don't have to renegotiate his contract if we want to keep him further than the end of the season. He's a fine backup though, definitely improves the attack depth and can give Dom a breather every so often.

I was pissy about this going through earlier because I thought it was going to be a 3 year contract on high wages - typical Everton of old. A 6 month loan is excellent business. Fills the gap and provides real competition up front. I'm happy.

Is not a loan. We've actually signed him for a nominal fee but on a 6 month contract with an option to extend.

According to the BBC "The deal is believed to be a six-month contract with an option to extend it at the end of the campaign."

How many goals we saying before season ends then?

Oh this is even better. We hold all of the cards.

If he can get enough to come as second highest scorer behind DCL I'll be happy.

That makes much more sense so, far happier with that. It's basically a loan with option to buy so with the way it's gonna work out.
