[SIGNED perm] Josh King

Was it Shep?

 

Looks totally different from what I remember him to look like, but good to see him in a Watford kit and all smiles.

 

Just hope he gets the opportunity to play in a central role. If so we've picked up a very good player.

 

It's been tough for me playing the role of clapper in the Euros thread, so fuxk this signing. Utter shyte. Ponzos out.

 

Well that's one thing to be happy about.

 

Kane is ****. Were you not watching last night ? Give me Andre Gray any day.

 

I don't think it is, Deeney did score 13 goals in the Premier League in 2015 but has had operations to his knee, he is getting older and has been on the decline for some time. Gray has never been able to score goals at Premier league level his best ever goall tally for a prem season is 7 and his other seasons as a premier league striker he scored 5, and 2 goals in the league campaign.

 

The 15/16 season, as good as he was overall, he still only scored 7 non penalty goals. His highest ever is 8

 

King is nowhere near two metres - he's listed as 180cm/5'11'' on the official Premier League site, and the eye test alone tells you he's absolutely nowhere near 6'6''.

 

He's 6-2.

 

That's the other height that's going around on some sites like transfermarkt, but they cite sources like 'worldfootball.net'.

Again, the official Prem site has him listed as 180cm, and just stating 'he's 6'2''' without any further proof or source of your own doesn't go a great way to rebutting it.



It's even possible that those other height claims are actually correct, but even if they are, 6'2'' is nowhere near 6'6'', contextually-speaking.

 

I’ve met him.
I’m 5’11” and he was taller than me.

 

The plot thickens.

I’m on the edge of my seat here folks.

 

Was he wearing heels?

 

I seem to recall Shay Given was listed basically anywhere between 5'10 and 6'2, so I tend to take height figures with a pinch of salt!

 

Wow, ok. I sincerely apologise.

 

Yes.
But I’m not sure how high they were.

 

I wondered where they went.
Can you ask him to return them to me please and the Channel suit?

 

Is that a Del Boy version of Chanel?

 

Yes, from what I have read from Bournemouth fans is that he is much better centrally although Howe kept playing him out wide.

 

Massive rival for Deeney?

 

I tried to edit it before the Deeney comments come in lol. Very quick.

 

Yes his best scoring season is when he played through the middle when Wilson was out injured. Plus he's stated that's his preferred position.

 

Deeney is certainly a wide player.

 

Must have been a Friedian Slip.

 

Once when visiting New York I actually bumped into Josh King on the viewing gallery at the top of the Empire State Building. As he was a Bournemouth player at the time I found myself locked in a long, cold, confrontational stare-off with the Norwegian forward. Our eyes were at approximately the same level and I'm 6 ft 3.

Then to my shock I realised that King was actually not standing on the observation deck but on the street outside.

This places his height at approximately 1,056 ft 3 by my calculations.

 

He's just got a little Jung in the trunk, that's all.

 

Hopefully they've managed to squeeze him into the new kit pictures with Hughes. What a dreamboat.

Rough night for Xisco

 

What shoes did he have on tho?

 

Is there a highlights video of this **** for me to watch so I can get excited about the prospect of him transforming our attack? Preferably something from 2015/16 or something, which is out of date, but inspires the most futile hope.

 

Sadly "no", but rest assured he was on Man Utd's books so he should be as good as Fletch. Football's coming home.
