[Football] Josh King!

Spurs... and Bournemouth wanted in the region of 30m for him at the time.

Whilst he was at Blackburn?

I think he’s a very good player and fits the profile of what we want and need. I imagine he wouldn’t come cheap though...

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

He's Norwegian.

Would be pointless. We now have Locadia, Andone, and Murray (with Baldock and Hemed as back up, unless one or both depart), and if CH continues to play 1 up front where would King fit in?

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Yes, but because of the amount of time he spent as part of a English team before he turned 21 he is classified as being a homegrown player. Exactly the same situation with Fabregas, Pogba and Lukaku.

But given that it seems really odd that a player like Murray who was born and raised in this country isn't eligible to be considered one.

Thanks. I didn't realise how complicated and daft the home-grown player stuff is!

Josh King scored 16 goals in 16/17 as a striker and 8 as a No. 10 last season. The lad is a decent player, definitely Prem quality and I'm not surprised Newcastle are sniffing around.

This is great news for the Albion because there aren't enough basket case clubs in the Prem for my liking and it would be great if the wheels came off at Bmuff.

There certainly were in the season just gone - I give you Everton, West Ham, Southampton in the runners-up spots, but the medal winners for the Fruit Loop, Completely Bonkers, Inept, How Not To Run A Football Club Maestros Trophy are Swansea, Stoke and West Brom. Well done boys - the rest of the Premier League are so happy for you on your wonderful achievement.

For 2018/19 the possible candidates could be those cheeky boys again of Everton, West Ham and Southampton, the clubs that do implosion in style. And, into the mix, please add those new chaps Wolves (cheque book ready to buy a whole new team!), Cardiff ( one season membership card only), with outsiders Bournemouth and Watford ready to step up to the plate in the WTF do we do now stakes.

Wouldn't be value for money and wouldn't improve what we have just add depth. Expect we can do better thanks.

 

[J2 DOG]

Would be a very good signing! Liked the look of him when he played for Blackburn a few years ago at the Amex.

Eric Dier lived in Portugal from the age of 7 until he was signed by Spurs at the age of 20.

Why would you think he SHOULD be classed as home grown, just out of interest?
