agreed - we’re not in the driving seat with this one and will be negotiating with a parachute club that will sell to the highest bidder or not at all. If this is the clubs number one priority, we will have to stump up the fee.
As fans i don’t think this bunch have been questioned in their attitude either which goes a long way with fans. They may not always be quite good enough but they generally can’t be accused of not trying which can’t be said of some players in the past.
King will make no difference to us on the pitch so IMO him leaving won’t make us weaker. It’s an interesting summer ahead and i hope the recruitment is done early.
