Does anyone find this strange about Josh King

My mate who closely follows and attends all Utd reserves match just told me Josh King played for United reserves on Thursday?

here is a link to confirm

If he's on a Youth Loan then I think it leaves 'loan places' open for us, whilst also allowing United the chance to play him in reserve games (good if he's not getting much game-time with us, and also allows them to get a better idea of how he's developing).

 

if it gets him match fit quicker then it may not be a bad thing, he might score a few goals and come back to us brimming with confidence, if that transfers itself into our matches then good for us, just hope he doesn,t get injured and have Man Utd got anyone else for us to borrow if he did.

 

I quote 'he was very quiet, never got into the game.' For the record he does rate king highly.

 

you have a problem with him been first choice in the man u reserves?
buy him now nicky.

 

Now then Dovey

 

Interesting that Harry Bunn is playing for Man City. Frankies lad.

 

I've seen enough of King to know he has tonnes of potential.

If you have talent and pace, all you need is guidance and a willingness to learn.

Hope we manage to persuade SAF to part with him.

 

Erm I wouldn't say King has talent, he's got donkey feet ffs, can't kick a ball straight to save his life. I've been at every game he's featured in and the only half decent thing he's managed is skin that Crawley fullback. If people slate McLeans ball control they've got a whole new level with King... I genuinely believe I have a better touch than old clown boots here...

 

dont see the problem myself. every game King can get gets him fitter and stronger.

 

Amoo mark 2.

It's already been said but it's true.
I remember the Crawley game where Koren pinged a ball to him only for it to bong off his shin and go out for a throw.
He then proceeded to moan to Koren that he wanted the ball played in front of him.

To date I am decidedly unimpressed but I will give him the benefit of my ever increasing doubt, for now anyway.

 

Wow! I hadn't noticed!

Why don't you write a letter to Nick Barmby about your knowledge, obviously he hasn't noticed either.

 

Bet he's relieved about that!

 

No doubt he is.

 

Ok no need for the sarcasm, I'd like to know how you came to the conclusion that a footballer who can't control a football is talented and has bags of potential. That's like having a boxer with no arms...

 

Leave King alone. Give the kid a chance you plastics. Far to early to make any judgements on him

 

Koren didnt play against Crawley

 

Correct. Koren was not involved at all that game.

 

My mistake. Could have been the Donny game.

 

Yeah Josh came on in that game and didnt look great but he's young and probably not match fit so it could take him a while to get in the swing of things. For this reason, we still need another striker in on loan.
