Joshua King

[Hernandez - BFA]

Moved to Blackburn on a permanent deal.

Beat me to it. I didn't expect that to happen this window - but hey, it would have been insanely difficult for him to break our team.

Good luck to him.

 

[Castia]

Good luck to him. Any idea of the fee we received?

 

[Eirik Raude]

Blackburn, ffs Josh!

 

[Genius Me!]

Never expected him to break into our team to be fair. Good luck to him.

 

[Wumminator]

Good luck to him. Any idea of the fee we received?

I remember when we sold Shawcross, Pulis said something like Fergie wanted Ryan to get games, so he made him availible really cheap, with big bonuses if Stoke ever got promoted/if Shawcross ever played many games.

I imagine it's something similar with King.

 

[Elliott]

Best of luck, Josh. You're gonna need it at that freak show of a club.

 

[#07]

Good luck to him.

 

[Thisistheone]

Wish him all the best. Was brilliant at times for us in the academy.

 

[Hellboy]

Good luck to him. Any idea of the fee we received?

£1m. I hope we have a huge sell on fee.

 

[Joemo]

Only signed a 2 and a half year deal, so should it all go wrong he's not tied down there for ages. I don't see how it's a bad move for him, he's played 8 times since joining in November, as long as the new manager isn't a total feckwit and somehow doesn't see that King is better than what they've already got then he'll get a load of game time. Although he's looked bright in reserve matches, no Premiership club is going to sign him permanently on that basis, ex-reserve players pretty much always start in the Championship and work their way upwards.

 

[Cevno]

Good luck to him.

Surely, he could have gotten another club at that level except Blackburn though? Still a chance to make it as a premiership striker.

 

[Cevno]

What's the fee, btw?

 

[Giggsforever]

£1m. I hope we have a huge sell on fee.

No need, King will never command a huge fee.

 

[Nate Dogg]

All the best to him

 

[Cevno]

No need, King will never command a huge fee.

Why ?

More ordinary forwards have gone for 5 mill + once they are established.

 

[Striker10]

I wish we'd put buy back clauses in our deals. We've a ton of striking talent. If he can get consistency in his game, he'll be a very good player. Goodluck luck to him.

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

Shame to see him go, searing pace he just lacked a bit of composure/final third and was eager to get games so fair play to him, best of luck

 

[MPTutd]

If he discovers the art of finishing he could be a very good player.

Fastest player I have ever seen at United.

 

[Raven Blade]

I saw this transfer coming. He's a very capable young striker but he just hasn't looked like joining our first team. Either way good luck to him at Blackburn. They're a good club, under some dodgy management, and in time he may help them back to the Premier League.

 

[Snow]

C'mon guys, of course he was going to leave. No need to overrate our reserves this much. He's 20 and he's got about a season in total, mostly in subs, of games under his belt, from 4 different loan spells. Has hardly impressed at the top level. Was only a matter of time before he left.

 

[Galactic]

Good luck to him.

 

[KingEric7]

Really did have very high hopes for him at one point, shame about the injuries. Would agree with the comment about his pace. I remember seeing him live a few years back at Moss Lane and thinking no-one on earth could possibly be faster than that, and that was with the ball at his feet!

 

[redpie]

Good luck Josh King. Blackburn probably a good fit even with those clueless owners.

 

[Dargonk]

Was always going to be very difficult for him to break through here, so no surprise that we have let him go. Hope he does well

 

[gooDevil]

Hopefully we see him in the EPL soon, I think he's good enough.
