I just don't see the point of this signing, we have GNK and Edwards, possibly Sancho as well. These players will be struggling to get a game behind Son (who is still not a guaranteed starter) and even Lamela who might play football again.

Also we may have Barkley on the way and we still haven't shifted Sissoko.... so unless we bring someone who is real class then what's the point? It does not make any sense.

Stick with what we have (and Barkley) or sign a class player, Josh King is not a top 4 attacking midfielder.

I guess Bournemouth have realized it was just a purple patch and decided to drop the price.

Panic signing written all over it if we end up with Josh King, rather we give our young guns a chance to be honest. Even rather we gave VJ another year and put the money towards something, anything, else

Agent wants promotion of club. Demotion much more likely with Defoe in and the team moving away from him not likely to go anywhere but down. He most likely ends up in Swansea or somewhere of that ilk.

Watching the city game now. While King hasn't dominated the game he's not exactly Rasiak. He's strong, carries the ball well. I don't understand the negativity, if he's cheap he's a good back up for Kane and will serve us well in cups and the inevitable plunge into the Europa League. With Kane so dominant we have to be realistic about who we can sign.

His pace strength and direct running have caused city problems at least they given away a lot of fouls on him.

Why, you got a few quid on them? Ha ha
Nah, but picture this, King scores the winner today, joins us, we win the league ahead of city by two points. Wouldn't matter if he didn't score again all season.

Edit: can I rate my own post optimistic?

First time I've really watched him today. He was great for me in fantasy football last year.

He was quick, direct, Kompany and another had to take yellows to stop him. So unlucky when he rattled the post.
