He’s like those who we signed and failed to shift. Won’t be a long term solution. Unlike Benrahma. The thing with Benrahma, Sarr, Brooks and Buendia is that they’re a players that’ll keep their prices and also they can be part of the development. No point of getting some average player as back ups. The plan should be get the better players, and fill the squad with young gems wether it’s from our academy or getting them from other places. I can understand loans but to buy unshiftable player who’s an average one in the first place won’t be the wisest moving. I appreciate that we might need a striker cover but for me Davis and Traore are much better than spending fee and wages for King who we’ll want to shift again next summer. Look at us now, we’re finding it even hard to shift El Ghazi who doesn’t seem to be in big wages, and in a good age. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
string28 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 It wouldn't surprise me if we get a loan to buy for Buendia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love us to sign one more player. But tbh, I can't see how we could offload lansbury, ghazi or guilbert in this window. No champ club in their right mind would take lansbury, ghazi would probably be too expensive (salary/fee), also doubt he would agree to drop to the champ, and although I think guilbert would be a great signing for a champ club, can't see him agreeing to go to the champ.

Whilst we have players all over the pitch that are massively important to us i do think losing either Mings or Konsa would be the most costly. Injurys make or break season for clubs that are expected to be in a relegation battle. Look at Bournemouth, didn’t they have a ridiculous injury list in the middle of last season? Such small margins in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, only way would be a loan with us subbing the wages for say Guilbert or Lansbury. AEG I think still has a roll with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 King is so trash. It cracks me up we get linked with him and so many are suddenly big fans and experts on the player "PL experience" "can cover the front 3" (latter is bollocks). Often the comments are followed by haven't really followed or watched him but would be a good signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 £130k / week for King? Bloody hell. Isn't that more than Grealish is on with his new deal? Really hope West Ham decide to pay that. They've brought Craig Dawson in on loan, who would have been a good loan signing for us if Engels or Hause left. Will be nice when this window is closed.

King is out of contract this summer so I suspect the wages (if accurate) reflect the fact he would be on a Bosman in 8 months time. If on a Bosman he would likely command more in wages/signing fee than when subject to a transfer fee so if he is to move now I'd imagine he and his agent will want that factored in. In short, can't see him moving and he will go on a Bosman in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sounds like one of Deadly Doug's spurious shopping lists. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
