King's clearly fucked, he's been molly coddled for the last 4 years, give him a coaching job by all means, but we should not be depending on him as a player any more, it's ridiculous.
I certainly think we could better assign his wage budget.
Much as it pains me to say it, I think we really saw the stationary point or redefinition of limits of Ledley King's playing career against Arsenal.
A few years ago, able to track down Robben and cleanly tackle him from behind preventing an easy goal... Now a shadow of himself - and I don't like saying it, we all know at his peak he was an absolutely amazing defender.
Give him a move upstairs, so to speak. Let him play in the Carling Cup only or as a real last resort on the bench - but he can't be first choice from next season.
looking at another side of it, if we let both go which one would get snapped up first and by a team in the top four?or top ten? i could see king going to a top four side and playing 15 games in a season in the league for a side like man city. Gallas would probably end up at somewhere like Liverpool.
King is the better player and lets not judge it on the one off Arsenal game where he was unfit eh?
We are a better team without the current version of King, sentamentality should not be a factor. He is a train crash waiting to happen.
Thankyou Ledley and good luck.
