StanSP Posted 22 May 2009 Posted 22 May 2009 Not taking anything away from him at all, but it could prove to be a double-edged sword. Great that he's getting called up and well done to him for that, but it will interest other clubs in him.

I'm pretty sure this game is just a "bung all the fringe players on the pitch and see how they do" (much like when England went to the USA a few seasons back and Keiran Richardson managed to score). It hopefully shouldn't be alerting as many clubs as it would otherwise

Alexikokopops Posted 22 May 2009 Posted 22 May 2009 Maybe we should disguise him (Gradel style) just in case though. Or disguise him as Gradel. That'd confuse people.

Fez of Mahrez Posted 22 May 2009 Posted 22 May 2009 Superb. CYMRU AM BYTH. Leicester City and Wales, I love it.
Finnegan Posted 22 May 2009 Posted 22 May 2009 I'm pretty sure this game is just a "bung all the fringe players on the pitch and see how they do" (much like when England went to the USA a few seasons back and Keiran Richardson managed to score). It hopefully shouldn't be alerting as many clubs as it would otherwise I think people think I'm trying to put a downer on this, I'm really not, but as I've said before King's like 6th or 7th in line to play center mid for Wales. I wish him all the best and I'd love to see him and Ramsey rocking up the midfield in major tournaments to come but he's a long way off at the moment. Ramsey and Collison aren't even treated as regulars and they're doing okay at Premier League clubs. I don't think there's much threat of King demolishing Germany and Russia and becoming an international superstar, whisked out of our hands too early. If he plays 90 minutes in a friendly against Estonia I'll be shocked.
Raj Posted 22 May 2009 Posted 22 May 2009 King is King!!! Well Done on him,no matter what people think. Great accolade at such a young age...even if it is for Wales!!!!!
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 22 May 2009 Posted 22 May 2009 As Finners has said, there are a few injuries to a few players in similar positions I think. Not taking anything away from King though, obviuosly, great season.

Finnegan Posted 23 May 2009 Posted 23 May 2009 "We know them and they're the next," said Toshack. He means: A. Next to be given a look, not the next big thing. B. Next on the list because of injuries.
Red Leicester Posted 27 May 2009 Posted 27 May 2009 Uncapped trio not ready - Toshack King and Allen have earned promotion to Wales' senior squad Wales manager John Toshack admits three uncapped players picked for their next two games are not yet ready for international football. Toshack has called up Reading striker Simon Church and midfield duo Andy King (Leicester) and Joe Allen (Swansea). The trio could play in the 29 May friendly against Estonia and World Cup qualifier in Azerbaijan on 6 June. But Toshack readily admitted: "Whether they are ready - I wouldn't say they're ready yet." The Wales manager added: "I think that these are the best options under the circumstances that we are working in at the moment." Toshack believes there are no other options available to him, with a lack of quality players aged between 24 and 32 and that Church, King and Allen have been progressing at Under-21 level with Brian Flynn. "We know them and they're the next," said Toshack. "It is a very, very young squad, there is no question about that. "But I think it's been well-documented that for one reason or another this is the situation that we're in." Toshack will then cut his 22-man squad to 20 for the World Cup Group Four qualifier in Azerbaijan on 6 June.
