Just seen on a couple of websites (Evening Times, Herald) that we're set to clinch the loan signing of Leicester winger Andy King.



14 Aug 2019 18:33:36
Very experienced player should be a useful addition.



14 Aug 2019 18:53:49
Dont see the point of it to be honest.



14 Aug 2019 18:54:07
Dunno where he is going to play the midfield is packed. Meanwhile we still need a left back and another striker.



14 Aug 2019 18:55:04
Just how many midfielders do we need to be sitting in the stand drawing a wage?

Getting beyond a joke.



14 Aug 2019 18:55:16
Good experience but I don’t see the need for another midfielder.

We need to get rid of the likes of Dorrans, Grezda, Holt, Dodoo - if we can’t get rid of them or on a decent loan I would even give them to any takers in Scotland on loan even if we are paying their wages as it’s pointless us paying them to sit about when they have no chance of a game.
Better they are doing the puddle drinkers damage at another Scottish club.

Barjonas, Atakayi, Rudden, Medube and McPake should all be on loan this season as well to get decent game time

If I’m being greedy I would like to see a left back, Kent and a striker come in - that’s what I think would push us to 55.



14 Aug 2019 19:12:48
I think this one is a goer. Gerrard just started in his press conference today that he is happy with the squad but still wants two players in every position. He said he has 5 central midfielders and may add another to make it two for each midfield spot.

Also mentioned that he is happy with striking options and Rudden will be his third striker.



14 Aug 2019 19:22:36
Blue89 we currently have 6 1st team centre mids tho.



14 Aug 2019 19:35:40
I think it’s crazy if they take on another midfielder on to the wage bill
Meanwhile as a few have already said if anything we need a left back and maybe most importantly another striker if one of our current strikers get injured, banned etc
It’s crazy to even think of getting in another midfielder we could play a full team of midfielders just now lol.



14 Aug 2019 19:39:17
Paul, Blue is right to a point that Stevie said 5, but then Stevie might not be the best at maths. Jack, Docherty, Aribo, Davis, Kamara, Arfield (if he's being counted) .



14 Aug 2019 20:06:17
Rf Steve says armies a forward player this year.
If the players we bring in are better squad players great. We could end up with 70 games this year.
I think SG has an idea what he is doing.



14 Aug 2019 20:38:02
Arfield is being counted along with Ojo for the right hand side I think.



14 Aug 2019 20:58:59
signing that welsh boy, does that mean one of our midfield is getting sold?



14 Aug 2019 21:06:49
Mr grumpy, I think it means Dorrans is done which most people thought anyway. Arfield is being considered a forward I believe. I’m not concerned about having another player because it will improve the competition for places. The thing that worries me is the amount of deadwood we have collecting a wage. Surely there is a plan to get shot of them.



14 Aug 2019 21:53:14
Good pro but King has hardly played in 2 years.



14 Aug 2019 22:24:37
Totally agree with some of the posts. LB right away and another striker. Come on SG. Been impressed so far with that signings.



14 Aug 2019 23:16:10
Like others I don’t see the need for more midfielders. We have far too many in the wage bill. For midfield whether it Ben central or wing we have so many, now I know some are out in loan and some we want rubbish of but at the end of the day they are still ok the books and costing money!

Ryan Jack
Steven Davis
Glen Kamara
Joe Aribo
Scott Arfield
Greg Docherty
Andy King
Brandon Barker
Jordan Jones
Sheyi Ojo
Jake Hastie
Greg Stewart
Graeme Dorrans
Andy Halliday
Jason Holt
Eros Grezda
Jamie Barjonas
Glenn Middleton
Ross McCrorie
Jordan Rossiter.



14 Aug 2019 23:50:06
Calm down guys! Andy King has great experience at the highest level He's on loan for a year and we are paying half of his wages!

We will move on a couple of more players that are surplus to requirements
Kent ain't coming So we need to put that one to bed!

Another striker for me and all transfer activity is complete in my eyes :-)



15 Aug 2019 00:08:26
Listen guys in Steve we trust . my goodness he’s done ok up till now . if he wants king for whatever reason then so be it . he will have his reasons even if some of us are not privey to or understand his thinking.



15 Aug 2019 02:23:05
We signed Helander to give us the option to play 3 centre halfs and 5 in midfield if needed. I believe King will be used toward that purpose.



15 Aug 2019 07:22:56
King can also play up top think he coming in the position lafferty played where they can play as a striker aattacking mid or on the wings. Nice squad player to have.



15 Aug 2019 07:30:06
i think we just need to trust SG on this

i agree LB and striker are more pressing areas we need cover and we also still have deadwood we need to shift but am sure grezda dorrans murphy holt dodoo will go

this lads a goal scoring mid who’s won EPL and is only 30 - he has 50 caps for wales and meant to be a superb pro

we will get susp and injuries if we are fighting on 4 fronts so if he comes in pushes squad and can add some goals to our midfield i’m happy

doesn’t look too good for doc tho.



15 Aug 2019 07:39:54
Isn't it obvious why he is signing duh incase Davis gets injured king is the perfect replacement.



15 Aug 2019 09:30:06
A hungry 30 year old who at International level has got to Euro semis and at club level the only player of the modern era to win League 1, Championship and EPL and did I mention Leicester’s all time top scoring midfielder.
Great signing, the more top players we have the better.
Yeah our midfield looks packed but that’s because we are injury free at the moment.
We want strength and depth to cover all possibilities especially if we go and qualify for group stage again.



15 Aug 2019 11:42:21
Fruit bear is your list for real. Hqsloan players, wingers and players who have been told they can go.



15 Aug 2019 13:00:05
If he's better than what we have then its a good signing. We don't need another striker we have Morelos and Defoe and if need be stuart can play there.
2 players for each position is key and I expect some of the fring players to either leave on loan or be away i. e. Dorrans, Barjonas ect.



15 Aug 2019 13:00:51
We do need a left back though. but only if we can move barasic on for a fee.



16 Aug 2019 05:14:03
Andy halliday take off that list. Once you get too stewart that's the cut off. halliday is no a left back. horrendous in middle of the park. No hope of getting in there again.



14 Aug 2019 13:08:44
Anyone know the deal with young Hastie? Is he going out on loan? Hasn't even sniffed the bench since after pre season.



14 Aug 2019 13:29:22
We've only played a handful of games.



14 Aug 2019 13:44:29
I would think it depends on the situations with Murphy and Kent. If Murphy goes and we don’t bring Kent in then I would think he stays as a squad player. I’m more concerned about spending 4m on a CB who in my opinion shouldn’t be put anywhere near the team just now as we are doing well with the CB pairing we have. Money could have been better spent IMO.



14 Aug 2019 14:02:44
There's just some folk you can never please.



14 Aug 2019 14:07:37
Flip side. Katic Goldso injured. Oh we don't have a cb. get real man.



14 Aug 2019 15:35:53
Gerrard said he would be taking his time introducing Helander to the first team when he signed him. Chill out.



14 Aug 2019 16:18:48
Why play helander for no reason. He was brought in to improve our defence. Through the competition he has done that. When one has a dip in form he will get his chance.



14 Aug 2019 16:48:40
We have a long season if we progress to the group stage so having 4 cbs who are all good is only a good thing. Competing to start does wonders for a players ability and we have god competition in a number of positions this season.



14 Aug 2019 17:03:05
3 mill on helander! SG says katic is playing well so what's the problem? c'mon lighten up a bit . look at it from the view of what is katic worth if he continues to keep playing well and keeping helander out?



14 Aug 2019 18:21:06
And it gives us the option to play 3 at the back. Or if a big offer comes in for Katic in the next couple of years we don’t need to panic about replacing him. Anyway good luck to Hastie if he does go on loan 😂.



14 Aug 2019 18:50:03
Im glad we have been able to help Hastie with his bench sniffing fetish, I really hope that's him cured.



13 Aug 2019 23:43:58
The chat at training centre today was Kent 1M loan deal till summer and deal to buy for 5M thereafter. Loan deal is dependant on buy, Kent wants it to happen but it may only be possible if we reach group stages.



14 Aug 2019 07:27:05
He’s been named in Liverpool squad for the season so cannot see it happening.



14 Aug 2019 07:33:41
Really hope so Scotty123.



14 Aug 2019 11:01:40
Adding name in squad increases value.



14 Aug 2019 11:23:56
If we did sign him, where does he fit in?

We haven’t missed him so far and we have no shortage of wingers so in my view it’s time to move on.



14 Aug 2019 11:46:40
Delboy, what’s that got to do with it? Folk are named in squads and sold or loaned all the time.



14 Aug 2019 11:55:41
tbh I don't think we desperately need him the way people make out. Jones deserves his chance now with the way he's started the season, alternating with barker.



14 Aug 2019 13:55:53
On the left DK as first choice👍.



14 Aug 2019 17:09:03
Where does he fit in? Right into the starting lineup is where he fits in along with hopefully a new left back.



14 Aug 2019 21:18:45
Not required for me based on our early performances.

He was exciting to watch and put in some great performances but lacked a finish and assists were not as good as Candeias.

Squad looks strong enough for me.



15 Aug 2019 08:38:21
DK19,at a club our size we should always be looking to enhance the quality of our squad where possible.
Signing ryan kent does that mate, as he would without question, be the best player we would have at ibrox,
for that position, bar none!



15 Aug 2019 11:31:44
JJ is better than kent.



15 Aug 2019 13:05:07
We don’t need Kent and I’ll say it again his stats were poor last season for a winger FACT.



15 Aug 2019 15:58:13
Have to agree with DK here, Kent had 2 fantastic games from my memory, both against Celtic at the back end of last season, all the rest he was ok but those 2 stand out. Jordan Jones doing well there so far so wouldn’t say Kent is absolutely essential anymore. He’s a good player though and would benefit by playing in this exciting team but we look in good shape, I can’t see any more come in but the way the English window has worked, loans will be available!
