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.

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.
