Twinport53 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 He's quite obviously better than Gayle, like. 8 PL goals last season and 16 the season before that. Gayle can only dream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I haven’t watched enough of him to be able to judge his ability, but if Rafa wants him and think he could do a job at striker, I’m on board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Divock Origi ? Realistic? Not sure what is realirealistic for a top 10 side. More importantly, a top ten side with Mike Ashley as owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 King's exactly what we should look for in a striker. That 8 last season was being heavily rotated and often having to play behind Defoe or Wilson. The 16 is when he got to play up top. He's quick, strong and scores goals. A massive upgrade.

KaKa Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 He's quite obviously better than Gayle, like. 8 PL goals last season and 16 the season before that. Gayle can only dream. And he has never played as a striker consistently too. Think he has much more potential as a goal scorer. Only just turned 26 earlier this year so a reall good age with a good amount of experience already also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I thought he was very good against us at SJP. A stronger and more confident Gayle basically. By confident I mean in his all-round game enough to impose it and force things. Gayle plays with his head down a lot and doesn’t seem confident when up against someone. He’s a decent finisher though when given the time and chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 We are 100% after King, fwiw. At a price we really shouldn't be. Interesting. What kind of price is being quoted? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I like King. Given his age & quality I think he's worth twice the amount of Dwight Gayle - whatever he's worth these days, obviously not the £15 million Fulham apparently bid, perhaps more like £10 million. I think we as a fan base have been conditioned a bit in terms of fees through years of bidding & spending very little. If King cost £20 million say, and Rafa wants him - I honestly couldn't give a fuck how much money it is, just pay it and get him, everyone else does.

mrmojorisin75 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I'd take King. As HTT says he ripped us to bits at SJP showing good movement and the ability to run with the ball and go at people that Rafa would love. It'll come down to his finishing. If he's the striker we go for I'd like us to upgrade Perez personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I like King as well, if Rafa rates him that's good enough for me. My only question would be his injury record, is it a problem or was it just that first season when they got promoted? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Think we can do better tbh. Feel like we could get a top five striker from one of the top five leagues if we try. Like a Balotelli or Plea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
