Gerard Posted 28 January 2018 Posted 28 January 2018 King didn't even get on the bench yesterday when 10 changes were made just like he didn't in the Fleetwood replay. There are four players undisputedly ahead of him and he might be pushed further down the pecking order by Amartey, Choudhury and Mendy when he returns. When your fast approaching 30 and you're that far down the pecking order you don't even feature in a side with ten changes then that has to set alarm bells ringing. There is a great line in the film Moneyball which is about baseball. To paraphrase it "We all get told we're not good enough at some point, some of us get told at 40 and some of us get told 18 but we all get told eventually". The only way I can see King being an asset to the squad is if we have a couple of injuries and Europa League football next season. King is like Ulloa now, both great players for us but both getting on in years and just nowhere near the first team. If either can get a move they should go for a fresh start otherwise they'll just hang around here wasting the last few years of their career not playing football.
Popular Post frany104 Posted 28 January 2018 Popular Post Posted 28 January 2018 He’s nowhere near good enough. I have massive respect for what he’s achieved but being honest and realistic he shouldn’t be near any squad we put out. 5 1
MC Prussian Posted 29 January 2018 Posted 29 January 2018 So, according to Puel's indications at the press conference today and what was said on FT before, from what I gather Andy King has received offers from other clubs and it's now up to him to decide whether he wants to stick and sit around or get more games under his belt elsewhere and on loan.

I think, it would be good for him and us, if he goes on loan! I think his gone stale here! 1

He needs playing time, and would come back a better player...I still wouldn't want to sell him...too expensive to rename the stadium. 1 1

Devonfox1884 Posted 29 January 2018 Posted 29 January 2018 Think he needs a fresh start really. Reckon Swansea could be a good fit.

Ted Maul Posted 29 January 2018 Posted 29 January 2018 How weird would it be to see him in another club's shirt? 2

Gerard Posted 29 January 2018 Posted 29 January 2018 When the manager is telling you it's probably best you leave and there are four players well ahead of you in the pecking order then the writing is on the wall as a player. I'd like to see him leave for his own sake more than anything else as hanging around at 29 and no game time will be depressing for him. He hasn't even made the last two FA Cup match squads despite wholesale changes, if that's not a message then what is? Be brave and trust in yourself to perform for another club Kingy.
Tuna Posted 29 January 2018 Posted 29 January 2018 He has to stay to collect his FA Cup winners medal to go with his Premier League, Championship and League One Winners medals. 2

ARTY_FOX Posted 29 January 2018 Posted 29 January 2018 Honestly hate the idea of him playing for another club. Can't even sell him on fifa 1 2

somebum Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 Masterstroke from Puel. The process of clearing out the dead wood and hangers on has begun. We now have far better midfielders. King is Championship quality at best. No need to thank him - hes been paid handsomely for doing very little. Fair enough he was part of the fairytale squad but i will remember him for nostalgia and not much more. 1
