Nope, I'm not misreading what you're saying at all. You're just doubling down on a very strong opinion you've justified with (effectively) 'I don't like the look of him'. And to say he wouldn't even cut it as a back up player is just wrong. I get the debate about whether we should be aiming higher than him but saying stuff like that is just silly.
So the take-home from this is that you think my opinion is wrong, and I think your opinion is wrong. Excellent, we agree to disagree, glad we took so long to get here.

An alternative take would by my opinion is justified, yours isn't. But yes, we took a long time to get there.

Josh King isn't a player of the required standard, have watched him enough to know that. The mere number of goals (high or low) doesn't really tell you the full picture.

Imagine if Arsenal signed Josh King and we were playing them..if Josh King was about to come on for Sanchez would you think...oh noo here comes Josh King, I'm worried now!.

Poch said himself we need players to challenge the position of the first 11. So that means Kane, Dele, Eriksen.

Doesn't really sound like Josh King does it?

Please not this again, thought it had died but it keeps coming back like a horrible dream....

Whilst we need pace badly, Josh King is not the answer. I said weeks ago that if Hernandez comes to PL he will score more than this fella.

Bournemouth have reduced their fee apparently, maybe even they see him as a one hit wonder and know they could get some money for him already.

2 games played so far - goals scored - King 0, Hernandez 2

Hes okay but it feels of Last minute panic buy special.

I plead that club just promote Edwards or through all our chips into GKN and mold him into a better player. If nothing else can at least drill into him lamelas on pitch attitude

Where did I say we were signing Josh King?:bored:
Have you not realized yet that we always take the worst bits out of any itk and run with it? I think that is why JJ transitioned to photos, emojis, and 2 worders.

Completely agree. King is bang average, and contrary to popular belief on here, cannot play anything other than striker.

Even as a strike everything points to last year being a purple patch.

I don't mind King but having said that doesn't Inaki Williams have a reasonable release clause in comparison? Might be wrong.
