Joshua King / signs for Watford
- Thread starter Ranchero
- Start date
He used to play for United, he wasn't good enough then, he isn't good enough now.
I'd say VERY different if you compared him to Martial...
Not sure he's the overall quality we need to be honest.
Buying a 28 year old striker for United should be an elite signing or given the circumstances a loan player until we can buy an elite striker. King is at best a decent striker and I'd be inclined to say 27 million is overpaying.
Bournemouth are going to have our pants down.

Please no. Was glad to hear he wasn't available before.. Bournemouth please don't change your mind.
Listen to Mr. Moneybags here!
From Haaland to Josh King. Jesus.
People getting triggered
You seen our negation team ?
You seen how we've continually offered contracts to mediocrity ?
Id be happy with him for a fair price. If it’s anything close to 40 mil then that’s crazy.
unfortunately when we leave it this late, they are right to try and rob us blind.

To Jesus...great on crosses
It would be another nail for Jesse Messi. That’s a positive. I am sceptical though. It makes sense in some ways but it also smells of short sightedness that I thought we where past.
He’s Norwegian!
Seems like this is going to be our deadline day signing. If we don’t get him then Ed will call it a day and get his PR guy Neil Ashton to feed us some bullshit
Long running jokes about Josh King?!
This actually crossed my mind too. The same type of players was what kept them in the doldrums.
One step forward (bruno) and now one step back
It's quite common knowledge in the FPL community. A lot of people mistake him for an English lad. I'm sure Merson once said on Soccer Saturday too that he was shocked he'd not had a sniff of an England call up and Jeff quickly pointed out that he's was Norwegian. Quite funny at the time.
Much as it would be more exciting to get some unknown kid from Latin America what we need right now is someone who can come straight in and fill the gap.
King might not be the world beater we need going forward but you won't find many strikers who could settle in and contribute straight away.

Oh yea, we are really great at that
Probably 35M and they will accept the bid. Not that i think we should buy him though
If we sign him at least he'd finally stop scoring against us.
He has improved alot from then. Better striker than Wilson who many said last year they would have. Only second fiddle due to Howe's preference. Even Bournemouth fans believe so. Would give us a different dimension upfront.
Seriously though what is his injury record like?
I mean, he's probably still injured right now.

If you’re going to pay 27 mill, why not pay less for CavanI? Not that I believe he would want to come to us.
Another question, would we be interested if King wasnt Norwegian. Strikes me that Solskjaer has no self confidence to manage bigger players.

He is 28.
Agreed with this.
I was very excited for him when he was breaking through. Thought he would be a top striker. Shame about the injuries. Don’t think he’s worth considering now.
If 27mil. thing is true, we are officially unlimited dumb, all included from top to bottom
I need a striker that will break his nose/toe to score and we bid for Josh King..
Played 30 plus league games in last 4 seasons.
Always makes me grateful for the cafe when I go to other forums. Looks like garbage.
Haaland was cheaper than that. If we wanted a striker from Norway he was the one to get.
If we want one of our ex strikers then we should try with Welbeck

.What peeves me off is why do we keep leaving this to the last minute?
Wooward and the gang need to get their shit together and start acting from the first day. It's like they think it'll force clubs into making a quick decision in a panic? if anything it's the opposite.

28 and not exactly prolific. We've left it too late and Bournemouth will have our pants down. £27 million is more than plenty otherwise walk away.
Don’t really get spending so much on a good but fairly limited and older injury prone player.
Phew, that makes me feel a lot better. Bournemouth forums were reading like they are always lost when he's injured.
Not all starts btw.
