    Don't see this guy as a replacement for Edoaurd. He's far too old but I would take him to replace Griffiths in a heartbeat. It could be that Klimala, Ajeti, Edoaurd and Griffiths could all be away this year and Bayo probably won't be getting a place in the team. So not against him signing at all but I do think we need to look for the next Dembele/Edoaurd type signing. I'm worried about defence and attack. In my opinion, we have more than enough in the midfield. Turnbull, McGregor, Soro, Robertson, Connel and Shaw are the future. I would like another attacking midfielder in at some point but I wouldn't be turning my nose up at someone like Josh King on a free transfer.

    Just lazy journalism imo. We'll be linked with a lot of past and present Bournemouth players.

    Yeah, I didn't realise he wasn't utilised as a striker. Probably should have put 2+2 together given the information. So he's more a forward than a striker.

    Players like King are the kind of signing we should be making this summer considering the rebuild we will need, guys who can play well in 3 positions across the front is a good asset to have

    Absolutely. Happened with O'Neill, Strachan, Mowbray, Deila and Rodgers. Always linked with former players of the manager. Even in Lennons 2nd spell we were linked with Hooper and Wanyama

    I know. Im not saying we won't be interested in King, but it is very easy for the media to link us to former players, Its happened for donkeys.

    Someone has just mentioned that Ljubicic is out of contract in the summer also. Can play most positions in midfield and I am pretty sure he can fit in at CB when called upon.

    Don’t want him. Hardly prolific at 29 now. I’d rather go for Taiwo Awoniyi although slippy has his eye on him and with his Liverpool links he might get him

    Every day of the week..

    Quick. Strong. Can finish. Can link up well. Be a foil. Play as a 9. Support striker or on both wing's..

    Howe knows him and how to get the best out of him..

    Experienced international and on a free? Yep..

    Would allow us to get quality in and and spend elsewhere on fee's..

    If we want him, we need to be extremely proactive and get the deal done early.

    Leave it too long, the competition will grow and he will soon be out with our reach.

    Lawwell’s sluggish approach has cost us time and time again. I hope McKay/DOF will be more efficient and aggressive when there is a deal to be done.

    He was holding out for 100k a week to sign for another club before he went to Everton

    If he's coming on a free, we could afford to give him a decent contract. Obviously nowhere near that but still a decent sum.

    Which eddie?surely not that one that strolls round the park and looks like he,d rather be anywhere than here.And sadly thats the one we seem to have more often than not.

    Eddy wants out and when a player wants out he more harm than good id gladly see the back of him today if possible.
