Leon King has announced his departure, Watford, Millwall or Hearts are teams credited with an interest.

Can see him going on to have a good career at cdm.

I hope he has a very good career. He simply wasn't given a proper chance at Rangers. Another example of us being unable to develop youth.

Think he'd fit in well at Hearts. Wish him all the best.

Agree, Muscatin. ??

Can see him having the exact same career as Lewis Mayo tbh.

He had a proper chance. In our UCL disastrous campaign.

That's right, Bornabear. Leon King played in all 6 of our disastrous Champions League defeats when GVB was the manager. Leon King was a very highly rated youth prospect. There were scouts from major clubs in the stands to see him, and after those Champions League games were over he was labelled not good enough and tossed on the scrapheap.
Let me ask you this: Is going from the youth setup or B-team to playing in the Champions League against Mo Salah, the best way to develop a youth player? I certainly don't think so. We threw Leon King under a bus.

What you talking about, Rohl? He was the only one we had available.
We had the worst injuries impacting our team; we were left weak in every position.
I agree the UCL damaged King, but he wasn't thrown under the bus.
Our owners didn't have any money to replace anyone after Gerrard had spent all the cash in the previous season trying to keep Morelos and Kent.
