[Archived] Josh king

[watford-rover]

wasnt barnsley the last game he was available to play under his loan? is there an option to buy?

[alexanders]

No. He can be selected tomorrow, but that is the last game.

[St_Jimmy_77]

His loan expires on the 2nd Jan, so he's available for tomorrow's game. There is an option to buy, but would he want to stay or more to the point would Rovers still want him given Berg's departure?

[Rovers_Dan]

I believe hes returning to manure. Probably not a good place to be at the moment for a kid learning his trade.

[Baz]

Personally Id keep him if possible, I think he shows a lot of promise, and his pace is something we lack in the squad.

Totally agree. Good at attacking and can properly play right mid. How many others do we have who can play there, much less have significant signs of promise?

Not sure his all round game is all that great, certainly not good enough to get into the manure team anytime soon, and so for the lad a move away makes sense. Not sure he'd want to join the madhouse though. Shame as he seems a decent prospect.

[Hasta]

I'd try and keep him for the rest of the season. I think he's better than Kazim Richards.

[Torgeir]

Yes, I think he's more worried about his own career than Henning's to be honest - they didn't know each other prior to Henning bringing him in on loan. Managerless or not, King is getting some much needed time on the pitch.

[Steve Moss]

Whether we can keep King will largely depend on who the manager is, I presume. Yet another reason to get this appointment done and dusted.

Does anyone know if Peter Taylor has a decent relationship with SAF?

[rhodie]

Just heard he has signed for 2 and a 1/2 years, don`t know if it`s true yet, awaiting official confirmation.

Worrying if true. Shows who's making the signings.

If he can maintain todays standard of performance then id be happy with that.

Definitely we need pace to get us out of trouble.

King or Taylor ?

[RevidgeBlue]

Not the worst player I've ever seen but I don't particularly rate him either. Would much rather strengthen elsewhere personally.

[Eddie]

The added pace is welcome and if the fee is sensible and his wages are too then I'd be in favour of signing him.

[Stuart]

He's added an extra dimension to most games he's played in after the first game.

He shook hands with the ref and most of his team mates as he walked off. Made me think he was definitely off.

It's be good to keep him if possible - whoever is doing the deals.

[Amo]

If our January spending is limited to him or a new CM/CB then needs must.

[Blue Cabbage]

Cryer reckons he's due to sign a two and a half year deal

[sparky12]

Get him signed up... Has been strong, looked decent and scored a couple.... Gives us so much more than Marcus on the left

[briansol]

Would be a very good signing for this level. Probably not expensive since his contract runs out this summer. Young, versatile, strong and direct and very paceful which gives the squad a dimension we've lacked. Would be good if we were able to sign him up even without a manager.

[broadsword]

hmmm ... we have no manager yet we are signing players ... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Could be that the deal was agreed as part of the loan. There was lots of rumours at the time that we had agreed to purchase in January.

[broadsword]

Doesn't matter, if you don't have a manager and expect to announce one imminently, you don't sign players. Unless of course, the manager-to-be agrees to it.

Now, do you think that's the case in this instance?

If a prior agreement to purchase is between the clubs - does it really matter who is manager ? Personally don't know how these loan deals - with an agreement to purchase work (if that is the case). Could we have backed out of the deal ?

[broadsword]

Surely we're not obligated to buy?
