King is unlikely to have his contract renewed. I think we’ll need another body in there come summer.

Dawson is good with the player in front of him, if he is turned then that is where there are problems. Also doesn’t help if the midfield is anemic, so no more Modric and Jenas in the middle. Watched Kjaer this past weekend, he looked good but that is it.

Anyone else have anything else to say about him?

We need a centre-half and a defensive/holding midfielder. These are essentials that need to be addressed ASAP.

Firstly, on King, that is the humdinger. When able to play 90 minutes he’s still one of the best CB’s in the world. Realistically, one game every 10 days I reckon. Problem is he and Woodgate are Plan A and Plan A isn’t playing. Woodgate may come back, but King will only get worse over time. Dawson and Bassong are Plan B and have acquitted themselves very well. Dawson, for my money will always be Plan B whereas Bassong has that certain something that makes me believe he can step in for King as Plan A. This means we still need to get another Plan A (Kjaer seems like a good idea – strong, young, good in the Air) For the balance of this season we need another quality CB. Kjaer would fit the bill and with Dawson and Bassong playing he would have time to blood inand we could potentially have Bassong and Kjaer as the new Plan A with support from Woodgate, Dawson and King when able. King should be on a pay as you play deal although I do wonder how his not training affects the team. Harry complains that Pav, Bentley, Gio don’t train to his liking, but King doesn’t train at all. I know how that works in other environments, so I’ve got to assume that, in principle, the world of footy is no different than the real world. COYS – this is a need, get it done.

I think the club has to move forward and forget about King. He has been a fantastic servant for the club but of late he offers nothing save disruption. take the Liverpool game for example- he only completed 80 minutes looked slugglish and siturbed a centre back pairing that had kept 5 clean sheets. If i’m honest I dont know enough about this Danish Kid but we certainly need another centre back. Corluka is not good enough at centre back. Dawson and Bassong yes but they need competition!

Harry is really an idiot and a born loser. He has personal grudges against certain players, especially those who were not signed by him. It is just mad that Crouch gets to play but not Pav. Harry thinks that he is the greatest manager and gives no answers to us the fans. HE must at least show us the fans and the players some respect. What has happened to Dos Santos?? Why isn’t Harry playing him now that Lennon is injured? What about Bentley? Our strikeforce should be Defoe, Bent and Pav. And we will strike fear into any team. We lost Bent (due to sandra being a better goal scorer). Now Bent is amongst the top strikers in the league. Soon, we will loss Pav. Then in future, HArry will leave (after earning so much of money as manager), and leave us with a much weaker squad. Why? All because of his attitude and personal grudges. HE thinks he is the best manager and only HE the great Haryy can find the correct players. All other managers before him are useless. And he goes on and signs the whole of portsmouth because he was the one who bought those players.

King deserves his testomonial and also a new contract, he is world class, even if he can only manage 2 or 3 matches in a month.

We need to improve our defense. Get him, and sell whoever.

Please stop waiting for King to make a comeback – its not going to happen, the situation is (and has for at least 2-3 seasons) ho;ding back the whole team/club.
Replace him now and send him packing in May… Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy and all he has done, but we need to replace him and fast if we are ever going to move forward.
