Rumours going around he doesn't agree with the way Howe used him last season. Would you like to see Brighton try and tempt him away. Would he get more game time here?

I prefer the unknown Johnny Foreigner approach we use, far more exciting than current whinging players

He's a homegrown player but he played 33 games last season for Bournemouth, majority as a support striker and scored 8 goals. If he's not happy about that under Howe, then he won't be happy with similar here either. Chances are that Bournemouth wouldn't want to sell him to us anyway and certainly not at a price that offered vfm. Also have doubts on him being any better than we have already. Definitely better for us to scour the foreign markets for up and coming talent.

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.

I’m guessing I’m in the minority, but I rate him. He’s quick, direct, strong and has that selfish eye for goal. I’d take him in a flash.

I agree, so it's a slightly larger minority than you guess, but I suspect [MENTION=29713]Lurchy[/MENTION] has it right on this one.

I agree with you DFP I like him and think he could be the most prolific scorer in our batch of forwards.

But he has been playing in English football since he was 16, apart from a loan spell in Germany.

Yes, he is an upgrade on Glenn, apart from the heading.
More of a team player and at 26 years old he has his best years are to come.
Much lively player.
Put a cheeky offer in and see what happens.

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.

If he's not good enough for Bournemouth, he's good enough for us.
Don’t blame him for getting sick of Smug Eddie. One afternoon would be enough for me with that cretin.
Would be an excellent signing for us but not realistic, they’ll want massive money for him. It’s only a year ago he was being linked with top 6 clubs.

Which of the top 6 were after him?

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