doombear Too far from Selhurst Park 09 Jul 21 2.30pm
I am somewhat underwhelmed at the thought of him coming. I recognize that we need to have a blend of experience and youth but we already have the experience up front in Benteke and Ayew (and even Zaha if he stays and we have a crisis). We don't need another forward pushing 30. Consequently, it's a 'no thanks' from me.

Free transfer and sensible wages, I don’t see why not

Omph Liverpool 09 Jul 21 3.21pm
Decent player no question but dodgy age bracket. Past his prime and must be entering the injury years. Has a handy goal record but that was largely on the back of the Wilson Fraser wonder years at Bournemouth and he's really much the same profile as Ayew as a wide player who pops up with goals. Would he have done that much better than Ayew had he been with us at that point? Originally posted by steeleye20 The new manager wants goals, and our stars are wasteful and do not supply enough. So increased competition is good, he does find the net too. I don't take much notice of these things until I see a player being described on Football NOW, as a 'beast' (actually 'immense beast' is even better). Mind you I don't think Barry Bannan quite fitted into that category.

I thought the intention was to lower our age profile, not increase it! A definite 'No' from me. I'd much rather we invested in Morgan Rogers, already mentioned in another thread.

If we need more cover in the areas King, would be used then I would prefer a younger option. At 30 years plus King could only be seen as short term, as a younger option could be developed long term. But it wouldn’t seem a priority, if the balance of the squad ,is to be addressed . As things stand the defence is crying out for addition to left and right fullback positions, centre defence needs one or even two. And mid field could do with another two competitive performers as it seems we lose Mc,Carthy, and Townsend, long term and Eze, for the first half of the season. If we resign any of those that are thought to be gone the numbers alter, but that’s looking less likely at this time.
