    Linked with him after coming out and saying he is fed up with Eddie playing him in a deeper role as feels he is an out and out CF. What do you think? I'd definitely take him.

    Nope! He is 26 years old and has only scored 38 goals in his entire career - what a striker on the Joselu level.

    In Rafa’s system he could flourish. He has. 1 in 3 ratio for Bournemouth.

    We are in desperate need of pace up front and King has more of a physical presence than Gayle.

    Mitrovic is too slow but could be a useful sub (if he stays).

    I would take him - better than Toss-a-loo!

    Now ignore his 2016/2017 season then his career stat is 1 in 6.5 games - fan-****ing-tastic

    Risky. He's only had one good season. And it wasn't even his last one.

    Rather plump on Armstrong tbh, young, England (youth) International, scored goals for the last two seasons and i think under Benitez will flourish.

    Personally I don't think Armstrong will ever make it at this Level. I've watched Bournemouth quite a bit. King is decent. Strong and can finish.

    He can - 1 in 6.5 games.

    Joselu however has a career of around 1 in 3

    As we know he is still ****e but people mention King's "scoring" record and his strength. Yet Joselu is just as strong and with a more consistent and better scoring rate!

    Don’t ask me. Half of what I say on here is incoherent bollocks. The other half I make up.



    Go on Trev....

    I agree with you anyway mate, we need a clinical finisher and will no doubt have to look abroad for one.

    See my dream target Arnautovic is being chased by ManU now. Man what a position change can do. Maybe put Joselu LB next year!
