It's more a case of how easy it will be to settle at a new club, having familiar faces (6 in King's case) can only help, especially at this stage of a season when you dont want to cause too much disruption in the dressing room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say I’m too enamoured but like I say he’s decent enough, just not really much of an upgrade. Another option but can’t help but feel we needed someone special and hughesque alongside Mount more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a very good player at this level but we haven’t got the luxury of playing him into fitness if he’s not match fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Always thought he was a decent pro to be fair. We've banged on about our midfield balance (or lack of it) all year and King would seem a good fit on that basis, but then what do I know? Guess we place our trust in Frank again. If he's keen then that's good enough for me, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I'd be in favour of this in an attempt to add more balance to our midfield. We have too many times this season been bypassed in midfield. Sometimes it doesn't even look like we have one at all if we find ourselves unable to get to grips with a game. We haven't quite found the perfect trio in our formation, despite how individually talented players such as Mount, Wilson and Huddlestone are. We're currently far too reliant on these players, and with the Mount injury from the Accrington game, many were rightfully worried about just how big an impact it would have on our side. King has only turned 30 in the last couple months, so he's far from past-it, he's just had a lack of football which was due to being in a team which accelerated extremely quickly in terms of achievement. It doesn't make him a bad player. If we could manage to get rid of some of our deadwood midfielders and get King in, the deal may not even cost us a lot, if anything at all. It's a big if, but it would be a step-forward in the strength of our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 What sort of midfielder is he? Attacking, defensive, box to box, goal scorer, technical passer, general?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
