Hull would be a good opportunity for him to get back on track. Hopefully he'll stay fit for the rest of the season, and if so happens, I think he will have a good chance to get some game time for Hull.

Hull would be ideal I think. I think sometimes people are sentimental, a loan to molde would be a waste of a year (with all due respect to them). He's wasted enough time.

He is a natural finisher, Burrow, so it could happen. He should thank Robby Brady for the glowing recommendation that help land him this gig.

Think he'll do well if he stays fit. Not necessarily in terms of scoring massively heavily, don't think he is a natural finisher to be honest, but he's got all the attributes to be a real threat.

![]() When King busted through a couple years back, I really thought he'd make it here. Had all the attributes to be a top striker, but then he kind of disappeared off on obscure loans that didn't seem to work out. The same thing seems to have happened with our best youth striker from last season - John Cofie. Will Keane looks very solid, but he's definitely not ready next season. It'll be loan time for him. So yeah, will be interesting if King comes back to United, or if he signs for a smaller club. Does he still have his speed? I know he was lightening a couple years ago, but has had some injuries. |

I know you mean Will Keane, but surely he'll be looking for a loan next season. King has already had a couple of loans (albeit with mixed success) and is a yr older so i'd expect him to be higher in the pecking order.

Ah feic off im only back from holidays, mush like brain! I meant Will...
King could easy end up going down the Frazier Campbell/Blake route. Keane has a bit more about him imo... |

Keane has always been the more talented of the two though, and has even more potential than King imo. Out of all the young strikers at the club Will Keane is definitely the most highly rated and has the best chance of making it here. |

I prefer King myself. You've got to be very special to make it here as a striker without good speed and power. Even Berbatov came up short. Let's not forget that Berbatov's agent said we're looking to add more speed into attack. I just don't think Keane will ever fit in, though he is a decent player.

I think King has a lot more to offer than Campbell or Ebanks-Blake ever did. Also I'm pretty sure Mr MUJAC rates him highly as well. The main thing stopping me from saying King should be 4th choice or thereabouts for us next season is that he constantly gets injured.

When has he ever played in midfield for our youth/reserve teams? And, what is the obsession with turning players into central midfielders at this club instead of just buying one? He is too good a finisher to be dropped back into midfield |

I think he's a bit quicker across the ground though. Which isn't hard, to be fair. |

Shit, I had such high hopes for King. I can't remember the last time I was so excited about an attacker from our reserves (I thought he'd be better than Welbeck at one point). Injuries have really stunted King's progress so far, but there's still time yet. Someone of his dribbling ability and pace is always going to have the potential to be dangerous...I just hope injury hasn't damaged his pace already.
