lgfualol Posted 31 January 2019 Posted 31 January 2019 He'll do a job for Derby. Good move for everyone. We will save some cash. Derby and Forest the destination for players not good enough for us.
Guest Posted 31 January 2019 Posted 31 January 2019 Nothing but respect for him and he's the definition of club legend, but he's got absolutely no business being anywhere near a top half premier league team. Hope he gets a testimonial in the summer
KingsX Posted 1 February 2019 Posted 1 February 2019 If he had buried his shot against Newport I would have bought this shirt. And would have probably a unique, if now meaningless item Smash it in the Championship Kingy. Then in life.
UPinCarolina Posted 1 February 2019 Posted 1 February 2019 Will be interesting to see how he gets on there. I hope that it goes well for him. He's got petrol left in the tank, but not enough to propel him through a PL campaign.
volpeazzurro Posted 1 February 2019 Posted 1 February 2019 Good luck to him, I wish him well. He should be able to add something positive for Lampard.
whoareyaaa Posted 1 February 2019 Posted 1 February 2019 King, Waghorn, Nugent.. there gonna do a Leicester

I feel King has more to offer, especially in a attacking sense. I never said I was his pal, just that I know him well. I.e I work with someone from his family. I think you are a bit clouded due to you knowing someone in his family. The truth is, he has been a bit part player since league one, and reality is Pearson, Claudio, Shakespeare and puel preferred better midfielders over him. Without the risk of being called a name, to use mendy’s loan away as justification in your argument is a tad unfair, he had a serious injury, and struggled for form and fitnesses, and has returned better for it, I’m not a massive fan, but is a far better player than king, hence king didn’t get in the squad. King has done a job here as a squad player for years, but let’s not pretend, nobody else would have paid him I believe around £50 grand a week, and I’m guessing that’s the reason he’s not left permanently, as he has a massive contract he might as well see out

But we don’t play that system ....... i think he offered as much as Iborra and was unfortunate about that signing which screwed his last 18 months here
foxy boxing Posted 1 February 2019 Posted 1 February 2019 Good move for him and should do well in the Championship and won't have to move that far as he will still be in the East Midlands. good look Andy.
Tommo220 Posted 1 February 2019 Posted 1 February 2019 Whether you rate him or not, the bloke is a model professional and any lower Premier League club or Championship club are lucky to have him. He's been with us through some of the best and worst times as a club, and contributed massively - especially in getting us back in the prem. Good luck to him - i just hope he isn't such a success for Derby that they get promoted!
EastAnglianFox Posted 1 February 2019 Posted 1 February 2019 Just wish it was with a different team as id have loved to see him pick up a play off winners medal too.
Ted Maul Posted 1 February 2019 Posted 1 February 2019 Sad to see people slagging him off. Short memories.

Annoyed it's Derby, but I suppose it means he doesn't have to move his family etc. Great guy, I know him well, he is pretty gutted to have not been given the opportunity to prove himself here over the last few years, and is actually rather frustrated at the club, understandably. Always given his all and has done a good job whenever he has been called upon and despite not playing has been fit and ready to step in on all occasions. Good luck Andy. Nuge will be pleased to have his wingman back. he was behind James in the squad never mind Mendy. They are probably not poles apart and never really got a fair run in the side while in the Prem but there clearly must be a reason for that, if he was good enough then the previous managers would have had him playing you can't blame the club.

He played all but three games in the next two seasons, 42 in 2012/13, 30 in the Championship winning season, 29 in 2015/16, 32 in 2016/17 including four in the Champions League. Whether he was a great player is up for debate but he was certainly involved heavily until fairly recently.
fazzyfox Posted 1 February 2019 Posted 1 February 2019 King, Nuge, Waggy & Lawrence v Gallagher tonight. Maybe.

I'm tired of having to make the point you just did. Good luck Kingy.
TheSomersetFox Posted 1 February 2019 Posted 1 February 2019 Love the guy for everything he's done for us. Derby's a good move for him, hope he does well there etc etc. Having been too young to appreciate the MON era and growing up watching a lot of shit, Kingy will always be one of my all time favorites. Legend in my eyes
MC Prussian Posted 1 February 2019 Posted 1 February 2019 It doesn't really matter where he ends up, he's just not that bad or that old to not being able to play football on a professional level anymore. I'm glad for him that he's been given this opportunity and I do hope he takes his chance, even if it's Derby County. At age 30, his experience and personality on and off the pitch will come in handy for the Rams. He's a great and decent person, never caused a ruckus, always remained and remains professional throughout. I also think that the club could've and should've handled this situation better and earlier, and I'm disappointed he wasn't given more of a chance under Claude Puel. All the best at the other end of the M1, Andy!
