Robert Koren

[flowwolf]

Surely if Leicester were to lose a decent player you'd rather he didn't go to a fellow championship club?

Yes well we won't be a fellow championship club at the end of the season will we !

[flowwolf]

They were mauled.

I've been waiting patiently so this beauty can get another airing, Here's my chance.

My god have they no shame :D :D :D What next Forest fans singing you've just been mauled by the Mullahs ?

I will never understand why people want to get rid of King? He is an absolutely fantastic player and has been by far our best and most consistent midfielder since he came into the side. He might not have had a great season last season, but he was injured for a lot of the time and to be fair, no-one really lived up to expectations last season. He gets assists, he's scored about 30 goals over the past 3 seasons which is a great return from midfield... I don't know what he's got to do to win people over? All people say is that he 'goes missing' during games, which is simply not true. You might not notice him for a while, then out of nowhere he'll make one of those late runs into the box and score or set up a goal. I would be absolutely gutted if we got rid of Kingy.

That`s because he goes missing!

I think King is a luxury player, as other posters have said, if we are on top,and controlling the game, he can be very good, but when it`s a battle, and our backs are against the wall, personally i just don`t see him.

West Ham away.

Battled and was our best player, scored and was unlucky not to get us at least a draw. The fact is he was injured for the best part of last season. He will come good

I know this is a robert koren topic and he would be a steal for £500,000, but Andy King is one of the best finishers we have at the club and would be mad not to have him in the starting 11 next season

there are a few great goals I can think of including that goal against leeds on boxing day, the one he nicked off joe hart against man city (and nearly chipped him later on), scoring with the yak at derby away and scoring the final goal in the playoff against cardiff.

I personally rate the lad who has come from the youth academy and hope he has a great season for us next year

[Fox92]

King is our best finisher, no doubt, but I don't think he'd be in my starting 11. He is a luxary player and gets knocked off the ball to easily.

[Happy Fox]

Koren would be a great potential addition if he joins, he is the playmaker we have been crying out for and is much for mobile than Wellens and has more ability. A central midfield Four of Danns, Drinkwater, Koren and King would be great at this level, also factoring in James, it would seem Wellens days are numbered.

All he does is score goals.

[Trav Le Bleu]

All he does is score goals.

He's no Yakubu.

Forest are also after Koren D:

Read the bit at the bottom about Koren:

Pearson, who is shortly expected to unveil Hull’s Robert Koren as his latest recruit after activating a release clause in the Slovenian’s contract,

[Fox92]

Even though a couple of people have posted about it, I still don't believe it. I'd like it to be true though...

I wonder if Koren is the suprise tomorrow?

It's just appeared on twitter from the mercury. I'd like to see it from other sources as well though

[Fox92]

"Bruce has confirmed that the Slovenian midfielder does have a clause in his contract that would allow him to speak to other clubs if a certain amount is bid for him, believed to be £500,000"

Go get him Nige

[blueblood88]

I think he will be unveiled tomorrow at the training session

[gingerlcfc]

for 500 k get him he is a good player

[dpjfox]

have the club said there will be a "surprise for the fans" at the training session?, other than seeing the players in the new kit!

[Fox 4 Life]

I like Koren at 500k but we have a glut of central midfielders, would like to see money spent on wide players - also get the scary feeling that Wellens still plays which will push down prospects like James even further

I really don't get it. If Pearson has known about the clause all along, then what is he waiting for? Does he want him or not? So far the evidence suggests not.

No.

[Fox42]

No.

For what it's worth, we are apparently close to getting Aluko from rangers. Of course completely different players but I think it makes korens exit a step closer.

I wouldn't worry about Wellens keeping the younger players out of the team. I'm sure the main reason NP signed Drinkwater and James is that he knows Wellens needs replacing soon - he's on his last legs. You might be right and it turns out Wellens starts matches ahead of King, Drinkwater and James, even when he's out of form, but I seriously doubt it, and it's pointless worrying about something that hasn't happened and might never happen.

I don't think we do have too many CMs, even if we do sign Koren. We ended up using Bamba in central midfield when we had only one fewer. It's good to have competition for places, and to prepare for injuries, suspensions and fatigue. it's a long season.
