Foot Long Hot Dog
Player Valuation: A packet of pork scratchings
I was disappointed we didn’t move for him in the summer tbh mate, partly because of his versatility and he’s a player I’ve always rated. He’s not had a decent time of it this season in the Championship, but probably because he just doesn’t want to be there.
If he completes this move I reckon he’ll do alright for us.

He had it ages ago mate.
Along with a fair few others at the club.
Oh, look - and I've said this before - as a player, he generally fits the bill.
But my point in the summer was, why not just do it then? It's probably not ended up costing us much less.
Or, why not push at the start of this window? Have it lined up, done.
I appreciate there's a lot of moving parts, but we now could be stuck with another player on possibly big wages (it'll be at least £60-70k) and even on a 2.5-year deal, that means he'll be 31 and a half by the time that runs out.
Wouldn't it have been more prudent to use the loan market? Wouldn't it have been more prudent to simply move for somebody else last summer, again on loan as a first option?
We were in for Zirkzee mate. A youngster at the other end of the spectrum. We wanted him, but needed to shift players. Fair enough, but then it's completely to the opposite end of the spectrum for King.
No profile of a player, no planning it seems.
I don't even think it's a 'panic' really, but it will end up looking like one.
I think he can be a useful player for us, but the argument that people had earlier that we were keeping our powder dry and Brands wasn't into signing anybody like Walsh would on big wages etc or whatever, well it's fallen down, again.
I'm actually more measured now than I was last night. Been on the bike and stuff - always helps- but it seems like some disjointed thinking. Anyway, if he comes, it's better than nothing and he knows how to score in the league - it's genuine competition for Rich and Dom, so an improvement.
It wpukdnt surprise me tbh mate if we were in for Zirkzee and still wanted King with an eye on King taking Bernard's and Gordon's place and Zirkzee as back up and taking Tosuns place.
Summer they wanted 18m and it looks like far less this time around. Even though he's 29 and a deal takes us until he's 31 I don't mind someone with a bit more experience tbh mate. He's done the rounds, knows the PL, looks like we've got a decent price. Let's face it , we could be going for Zaha who is a year younger, similar scoring stats and he'd cost 50m!

Gordon going to PNE on loan and Reading in for Besic. So looks like Bernard will be staying now. Hope if we do sign King it is only 18 month deal and not too high a wage

Again there is not another group of people in world football besides Evertonians who don't rate Kean as a prospect. I guess maybe Fulham fans think King is decent too. Not sure many others. We're weird.

They would rather talk about a centre half no ones ever heard of going to RS.
You expect any different ??

he’s gone to parma
Yep I've got a feeling he'll do alright too mate. I'll certainly feel a lot better with having another option and you just never know, he could hit the ground running and find some decent form score a few important goals and who knows what they'll be worth come the end of the season.

If the rumoured 5 or 6m is correct its probably cost 10m less. Its not ideal but the logic isn't awful. Everyone knew he had a knock in the Autumn and would be cheaper in January.
There's also no chance we will be offering 110k per week. He'll be on good money of course but not ludicrous money like some are suggesting.

Even for someone who posts as much rubbish as you do you this is comedy.
Well done Fred.
