Confirmed Signing Josh King

[Encoder]

I think this would be a pretty smart move - so long as we don't spunk like 20m+ or anything like that

 

[ToffeeTim]

I've wanted him for a while. Exactly the type of squad option we need to cover across the frontline. He has a 1 in 3 record at Bournemouth and that's a far far better goal record than Zaha.

We arent good enough to have an elite back up centre forward but he can contribute right now more than Kean could.

 

[TheBigIguana]

He will be a short term option. We already have the younger option in Kean. Let’s hope he gets more game time at PSG to develop his game further before coming back to us next summer.

The path for Kean to come back into our team is a very narrow one. A lot remains to be seen on that. It isn't like we loaned him to Bristol City.

I’d rather Kean went to a top team surrounded by world class players and a very good coach to develop his game, then some lesser team.

As a back up striker, who realistically could we get for better at an affordable price.

I would too but doing it opens up a whole bunch of pathways that aren't coming back to our first team if he is successful.

Look at Lookman for an example of what can happen.

He's out of contract in june. 15m probably gets the job done. And realistically he won't get a better offer than us, unless United panicked.

 

[rochdaleblue]

If he develops that much to be a fixture in the first team at PSG, he’ll have done well. Mbappe will be off next summer most probably to Real. They will be awash with money. If they want Kean that bad, they’ll have to pay top dollar for him. But we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. In the meantime, I’ll watch with interest how he’s doing.

Doesn't he take their pens as well? So that 1 in 3 is inflated.

Minutes wise, Tosun is better than 1 in 3 for us. (A goal every 245 mins) as he has 10 in 51 apps for us. And he has come out saying he wants to fight for his place and play for us. That shows his desire whereas josh king is apparently 'desperate' to play for us despite there being no quotes or comments from him or his agent about that. (Only comment i can find saying he would be keen for a transfer to us came from the ***).

Not saying I want tosun as our back up forward, but there will be better than king available.

Wilson and him both took pens at times, but yes he did score a few

Not in the championship there isn't mate unless you mean waiting until next summer as Brands doesn't do January.

The person who runs that Bournemouth twitter account btw is a teenager so I highly doubt he has any genuine info.

 

[Tubey]

Never been that impressed with him; not a patch on Callum Wilson.

What’s your source been saying about this one fam?

That ships sadly sailed mate.

£20 million I would have chopped my left arm off to have seen us get him in.
