grumswall Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 King hasn't looked like someone who can come in and do more than a half decent job for us this season. I'd be disappointed if he ended up signing for us permanently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he’s familiar with the manager, team and scheme, it might not be the worst shout, as long as he isn’t a planned starter. A known quantity may well have some value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A known quantity may well have some value.We need to bring in players to improve the starting 11, pushing the current starters down the pecking order. That's how to progress a squad. We won't be able to do that for every player but bringing King in permanently would be a big mistake. He can do a half decent job. aka not even decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Dundee United are releasing Adam King. Spoiler Fully expecting an Adam King masterclass tomorrow as he scores all 5 goals in a 5-1 win. He’ll now be playing for a contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to keep as high a quality as possible across the entire playing staff. Wondering how his season proved that. We started knowing Mendy was an issue, but we didn’t get another body in. Having another option, even if they are average, allows for injuries to not derail a season. Consider what the season would have looked like if Bene had been more seriously injured. Again, King is average in our system…but that’s not bad for a backup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 King is pish. Was trying to be nice about it. He can be filed in the davo/mendy camp of, after tomorrow, I will hopefully never see them play football for the rovers again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Surely we could just use youngsters like Coulson if we want midfield jersey fillers. Absolute worst case he wouldn't be any worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnott is already on the books as a central midfielder if football manager is anything to go by. Would rather the youngsters were given the chance than signing a backup player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least an extra mid is needed, and one of our MA’s doesn’t fill that role if they can’t get on the pitch.

Raith Against The Machine Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Please detail a single positive impact that Adam King has had. I'll accept a good pass, tackle, shot or dribble. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the same reason you think Mendy should be in our squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
