Anyone else think Bournemouth striker King would be worth a punt? Prem experience and playing really well at the moment?

Yes definitely Getsy, I would love to se us go for him, better than players who have never played in the Premier League and might not hack it, King is proven.
Get him and another from overseas we should be able to do that and more with the money we get for Rom.

Absoletly nowhere near good enough. He's proven in what? He has scored 30 career goals by the age of 25 and after playing in the league below mostly!

Let's start thinking like a top four club.

Well said BlueJohn! Surely the club must know something we don't if they let Gabbiadini go. Or have a better option for a plan B if or when Rom goes.

COYB.

Lets think outside the box if people thought like many do Vardy would still be a non league player, Marez would not be here, nobody would have heard of Kante and Leicester would not have won the league.

I can't say I have taken any notice of King at Bounemouth. I have no idea if he is any good? I do know that some players slip through the net. eg Gana for us is now being linked with Arsenal. Yet he is 27 and when I watched us wallop Villa at their place the season they went down he was pretty anonymous. Nothing special at all. Likewise, I get the point that milomj makes about Marez and Kante and Vardy. I also remember Marc Albrighton being given a free transfer by Villa and Leicester winning the league with him playing in every game and 90 minutes in them all I think. that's what I would call value for money when you think of his contribution. We paid £7 million for Kone! £13 million for Niasse. So whilst I also understand the comment of aiming higher, I would say we are not going to compete with the likes of £85 million for Pogba. We also need to sign players who are willing to join a club on the way up. but still not a Champions League side. Maybe with a miracle that will happen this season? The next few weeks will decide. However, is King a decent player? Would he do a job for us? Certainly Niasse has fitted into Hull quite nicely. yet looked dreadful in our team. I trust Mr Koeman and Mr Walsh to decide which type of player we need and what style we play. If that includes the likes of King fine. If it involves someone from abroad, fine.
