Solkskjaer says we won't be doing anymore business in the window in his presser
Joshua King / signs for Watford
- Thread starter Ranchero
- Start date
I know the fee is a bit much to get over but the way the market is going we could probably sell him in two years to some newly promoted team for £20 million. Just a shame he's been recently injured as we need someone urgently.
Josh King? MUFC are no longer shopping at Harrods, more like Morrisons.
Still, as an option off the bench il take him. Provided we aren't forking over 30m anyway.
It's been a while since I posted, so here we go. Being a Norwegian, I have followed King pretty well. He obviously has amazing physical attributes. Not only is he rapid (much more so than Martial), but he is also very strong. He's also a very decent dribbler and can get past defenders one on one quite well. He is a very different player from James, for instance. He can score goals, but as some has already argued, they mostly come in purple patches. However, even when he doesn't score, he can be a handful for any team because of his physicality.
I think he would have made a better squad player than Lingard, but at 28, I think he should want first team action regularly, and I just don't think he's good enough to be a starter at United. He's probably top six quality in a well functioning team, but not top four on a consistent basis. His injury record is also a major concern.

Ole said he is happy with who he has in his presser. Think this rumour is over now.
I like King, but not good enough to be our first choice, and injury-prone.
A back-up for a low fee? Would have been perfect. £27mill++? Nope.

And? Mid table clubs go mad for attaibable, EPL scorers.
except he’s not English is he?!
No one will pay good money for 30+ year old player who scores around 10 goals, especially the one who is on good wages.
Woody was planning his PR stunt earlier in the week.
This thread title is very misleading.
Howe only confirmed the possibility of a move.

No more business will be getting done according to Ole.
Hes only 28!
If we keep him beyond a season then he will have been a success.
A struggling side worried about relegation will take him off our hands. Not many sides actualky plan for 2 or 3 years down the line.
Just watched his interview on Sky Sports News and he left the door open for a transfer
He is 28, relies on pace and you said we will make money back in years time, so assuming he will stay here for 2-3 seasons means he will be 30+.
Its not even about making money back, we really shouldn't worry about that for every player. Is he good enough? I don't think so. Obvious improvement on Mata, Lingard, AP but the price for him will be too much for the quality.
He said nothing will happen unless it happens
If he can be a squad striker for 4 years, then it’s potentially a good deal. We have no one that can come off of the bench, and when we are not at full strength we are awful and can’t score.
That little prick Howe trying to recoup the ridiculous spending on sub standard forwards
He'd be decent on cheap but not for 27mil ffs 
We could totally use him for the rest of the season in our current situation, but not for any fee that they would accept.
He's considered english in the home grown quota, in fact even club trained for United. So the same english tax matters, as that's what the clubs are concerned about.
Same goes for players like Nathan Aké and Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Rather a short loan than spunking nearly 30m on an average pl player.
He’s good enough for this poor united & this poor manager though.
I've always liked him. we need the extra body
FFS, leave him alone - the guy is just a hard working family man who is 'more determined than ever' to create a renaissance at Man Utd...
Give him some sympathy FFS.
Agreed. Hope we get it over the line.
I like J.K, and have said for a while that he’d be a very good profile of squad player for us in terms of pedigree and age.
He got like 16 league goals last season I think. He’s a red too.

I guess we should have seen it coming. Ole would have coached him in the youth setup.
Shouldnt the title say offer?
This.
He's currently out injured for a few weeks by the way. Yeah, odd this one.
Joke of a transfer target. This guy is shit.
It's virtual insanity that we're trying to sign J. K.
Why would Bournemouth agree to this ?
Isn’t Callum Wilson the better player and goalscorer? We should probably be going for him instead of Josh
It s the last day of the window. I am sure there are going to be other links that are gonna suit my muppetry better. This one is not my cup of tea.
I understand that we need someone who can hit the ground running, and I think he could be useful, but this one just doesn't push my buttons.
Also, we just dragged the Bruno transfer for 10 mils for 6 months. Let s go and spend 27 mils on King.

So was Haaland.
