I noticed he came on for 15 mins last night against Galatasaray for them.

 

Noticed that to, surprised that they gave him a run out over Larnell Cole since it's apparently with a view to a permanent move

 

just pleased he is not coming here

 

15 minutes? There must have been a hell of a lot of Fergie time then, I'm sure the clock said 85 minutes when he trotted on

 

Think the Henning Berg contact comment is more relevant than wherever King is ending up.

 

I knew there was a 5 involved and I knew it was a relatively short amount of time.

Off to Blackburn. Sad really.

 

Did we have any hopes of signing Josh King?

 

2 threads on Josh King in a day..... wow.

Well not many City fans rated him so why the concern he has gone to Blackburn. At least he stays local to where he lives.

 

Farewell performance. SAF allowed him one last outing in a MU shirt by the look of it. SAF does not appear to be a fan of Kings by all accounts.

You are not alone.

Think that Steve Bruce carries more favour with SAF but it looks like SB has better and bigger fish to go after. Lets face it nobody saw the Shay Given thing coming did they.? No that was a biggy despite Lambert saying No.

 

I saw josh a few times and he wasnt as good as everyone is claiming.

 

Dont rate him anyway.

 

I thought he was a bit nervous when he started, but the more games he played, the better he got. His pace is a great Plan B to have on the bench to change a game when needing a goal.

I'd have taken him back definitely but I'd prefer Fraizer Campbell.

 

He was a better winger than a striker, I'm not sure how he would have fit in our current side, if at all?

 

Think the lovers as tainted by that goal he scored at the KC near the end of the season.
Couldnt trap a ball so had to run fast to recover it.

 

Problem is we don't want him becoming a star for Blackburn, making them win games and putting more pressure on us if we have a bad run (which I'm conifdent we won't )

 

The title of the thread sounds like the first line of a sixties song!

 

Tickler up until now you were raving looney about josh king and couldn't wait for his return, now he's gone you make out you don't give a monkeys (am I allowed to say that?)

 

No he probably wouldn't. He was a good player though, we always pretend players we've had on loan were **** afterwards, even though we liked them at the time. I thought King was good, he was far more skillful than the 'typical quick winger with no end product' tag he's been given.
