I hope at the very least if we sign him people will accept that they don’t know even 1/1000 of what Mourinho knows about winning a football match and give him a chance.
What am I saying? No way, you lot will burn effigies of him after one 13 minute appearance off the bench without a goal.

Hope so to Steffen. We need a new norwegian in the starting line-up.

It’s a toss up for me whether I’d prefer King or Wood. Wood is probably more of a goalscorer with a run in the side, but King’s versatility and pace means he’d likely get more games than Wood would. Both are HG, both are 28 and turning 29 mid season, both are proven in this league and both are gettable. I think I’m a touch more drawn to Wood because I think he’s the type of player that’ll score goals at a high level for longer, but in a reality where both are fairly short to mid term options, I think I’m equally happy either way as they’d both improve us, give us something we lack and pretty much round off our squad (subject to any upcoming outgoings).

So king has one year left on his deal .
I reckon that's a big indication we want him. He certainly offers quality , pace , strength, versatile and that is the key. We sometimes do play 442 and he will also get games on the wing. Far easier to convince someone like that than even a chris wood who would be a second option to harry.

Yes he is. Came through the ranks at Manchester United
I'm not totally opposed at signing him, but he seems to be having more and more minor injuries over the years.

31, 36, 33, 35 and 26 league appearances respectively in each of the past five seasons.
King's injury history is generally speaking excellent.
He did struggle a bit last season though. No doubt. Even if that last injury was due to a tackle - he still had some muscular issues throughout.
You never know about these things, but not something that would worry me with him. On the contrary I think he is less likely to struggle with injuries that most players.

And there lies the problem - Bournemouth don't need the cash at this moment, all their players are on wage deductions in the Championship and they probably would get more value from King helping their promotion chase than by selling for a low amount. I think it was Ally Gold who was saying Bournemouth wanted silly money and somewhere else saw the £25m being mentioned. Unless King kicks up a fuss, i'm not sure they'll deal at a price we're willing to pay.

I'm swear that was for Wilson.
I honestly cannot see Bournemouth keeping him against his will - even if he doesn't make a fuss about it. He has been a "loyal" Bournemouth player for years. And he has reached an age where he cannot really allow to "waste" a season at a lower level.
I would be shocked if he didn't get sold, but I am sure there are quite a few clubs after him so no need for Bournemouth to sort out the situation quickly.

King wins more aerial duels than Wilson which is worth noting.

I agree - just not sure King is really pushing for the move yet as think we'd see more media links as his agent touts him around. It'll all depend on the player making the move happen.

It was both.. he was saying they were asking about £30m for Wilson, £25m for King. Seems like crazy money for a player in last year of contract (King) so will see how it plays out

Reckon we'd bring up both the transfer of same age Doherty and one year left on contract Højbjerg in any negotiations. If it's true we've talked with his agent already then they will cooperate with our strategy as well. Bournemouth are stubborn in their sales though and have messed up with King, Wilson and Fraser due to it, pay the price for it now being in the Championship. Should have made a 100m+ profit on that trio and reinvested.
