Numbers have never concerned me too much either at such a young age. But what this young kid has is huge potential as a Kane, Lewandowski type who could be available for a very low €13.5m buyout. These are the type of deals that are very low risk with the potential of high reward. But we don't tend to delve too much into the SA market and then our fans say our scouts are useless when said player moves to Lille or Lyon etc and is then sold on for a huge fee a few years down the line.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

We went sign him. I feel bad for anyone that is hoping we will sign anyone. I always knew Bruno deal will be signed in the last few days of the transfer.
I know, hope we get him as well. Sounds a better option than some of the ones that were touted around. There is still time, but I am not confident of the people in charge to get this done.
The assumption is that we even offered the loan in the first place. We get linked to hundreds every window.
Sure, if we were going to do it with an obligation to buy then it makes sense, but all we have is a report saying it. It could have been no obligation, it could never have happened.

Hoped we'd try to sign King this summer as a supplementary striker. Glad the club tried, but unfortunately very understandable, Bornemouth find themselves in real danger of being relegated, their incentive to not sell King is worth around £100m+
Donno why we left it this late to scramble for a striker. King would’ve been a good bench option I think.
From the recent reports saying King was dependent on a striker coming in, it could have been in the works already.
Looks that way yeah.
Eddie Howe has not dismissed the possibility that Josh King might move to Man Utd if a new and improved offer is made
King is not exactly a serious goal scorer...
They get £107m approximately even if they go down.
They should take a fee for him now, they only paid £1m for him.
Take £15-£20m from United and it's good business
He scores and his assists record is high.
United need a player like him at this point.
We need scrappy goals.
King can be a good supplementary goalscorer on a good team. His record in Bornemouth is very, very good. Injuries have been an issue this season, coupled with poor form, just to be clear about that. 13/16 penalties in EPL. But the discussion is mute since we're not buying him anyway
King would be more of the same and we'd have to pay a tidy sum to acquire him. I would much rather see us think outside the box and sign the Argie kid if Possible who would give us a new dimension in attack and would potentially be a real threat to Martial as the #9.
Always found that King was better outside the box than in it.
I certainly wouldn't have him down as the type of forward we're in need of.

High? Ok. Its average in terms of goals and isnt going to be near what Rashford gave this season
Judging by Howe’s comments, it seems like Josh King could happen if the club and player push for it. It didn’t exactly take a hardline stance about keeping him.
Not sure I’d want him though.

Checked what Danny Lolbeck's been up to and no surprise, he's injured since October.
Well, we no longer have Rashford so point is mute.
We need someone with experience, who can get us maybe 10 goals and also contribute to creating as well..... he can play central and wide - on his own or in a 2.
It's the type of squad player, we are lacking!
Yorke and Cole remember had Sheringham and Ole!
That about what he gets in a whole season, and now you expect him to come and do that in half a season? Not to mention he is regularly injured so we should replace our injured forward with another injury prone one. Makes sense
He has also been in poor form this season, but we expect him to come in hit the ground running and have one of the best 6 months in his career?
Was Josh King the one who scored that worldie winner against us at the Vitality early on in the season?

Yeah.
Wow, not bad
Moot point, not mute point, just saying.
We could do worse than King at this stage if we're set on getting a striker now. Ideally we get someone better in the summer though.
Don't think he's scored since and hardly played either
As a squad player he'd be alright I guess.
Merci
You're a glass half empty kinda guy ;-)
Bournemouth are poor this season, United have ability to create lot's of chances...... it's a damn good option..... consider the alternative...... we sign no one... season over.
Except we do not have the ability to create loads of chances
Another alternative would be to sign someone else
Here's the original quote from Warren joyce, Perreira gets enough stick on here so just wanted to clear it up as shit sticks
Joyce: Januzaj, Morrison, Macheda and Wilson failed because they stopped working hard
- January 28, 2017
Ahead of his return to Manchester United, our former youth coach, Warren Joyce, has discussed the players he’s most disappointed with.
Adhan Januzaj is currently struggling at Sunderland after a fantastic debut season as United, James Wilson has gone from loan to loan without succeeding, while Federico Macheda is playing in Serie B, having played a crucial role in United winning the 2009 title.
Speaking specifically about Ravel Morrison, Joyce revealed that members of United’s staff used to do his community service with him to ensure that he went.
Bruno will change that hopefully
I hope so too, and hopefully a fit Pogba, still would like someone up there to finish other than Josh King
We could do worse than Bale on loan until the end of the season and play him up front. Wouldn't want to buy him though.
Does anybody know of a river for SSN?
