BREAKING: Andy King has returned from a loan spell with Rangers.

Brendan Rodgers: "He didn’t play as much as he'd like and is training with us at the moment. He’ll look for a club for the second half of the season. For all parties it was the best decision to come back.

 

[City Fan]

It’s a shame how his career has sharply declined over the last few years.

 

[Skitzo]

its a shame Swansea went down when they did, he would have stayed there permanently had they survived

It's as though he thought he was good enough to demand a PL move.

He should have gone to Swansea and actually used the last year's of his career properly.

they couldn't afford him after relegation

 

[Lako42]

That’s down to him.

Better to take a slight pay cut and actually have a career or earn the same and sit in your hotel room doing **** all for a few years.

mate after regelation there were in a financial mess, it wouldn't have been a slight paycut, when Potter took the job he had to slash their wage bill hugely, there was no possible way he could have signed for them.

He went to Derby and basically did a Mendy and got a season ending Ankle injury in his first or second match or he probably would have signed for them last summer after a successful loan

 

[Miles Away]

Is it?

 

[Skitzo]

Is it?

suppose it depends on how big the difference is, if its a slight difference it might be worth moving its its tens of thousands per week non of us would take that pay cut so why should he, and he is a model pro so never an issue him being around the club either

 

[Lako42]

I just don't understand why a model pro would be happy to stay on our books and get punted around to shit like the SPL.

He has barely even featured in one of the worst top leagues in Western Europe.

Surely he needs to be pushing for a real move

 

[Brown Nose]

We rewarded King with a contract that he'd never have got elsewhere. I think we're all fine with that based on his contribution to our development over the years.

However, it then left him in limbo. He is too expensive for anyone else (at his level). The only solution would be for us to pay most of his wages whilst he plays elsewhere. This is something we've ended up doing for loads of players that we've given contracts to and then outgrown, so I don't suppose we'd have been against doing so with King either.

The difference with King has been his reluctance to leave City. Again, that's understandable but has ruined the last couple of years of his career and has just made him a risky signing for other clubs.

 

[Skitzo]

you're assuming he had offers to leave permanently, that we were willing to accept

 

[Brown Nose]

I'm pretty sure that the club were happy to allow him to leave on a free in the summer.

I wonder what Kamal Sowah's future is, he has spent all of his LCFC career on loan at OHL, I wonder if that's a work permit thing or not ass I doubt he qualifies not being an International

many years ago Belgium was seen as a gateway into Europe and gaining fast track citizenship.

Foreign investors are snapping up clubs in Belgium’s second division. The question everyone from Tubize to Leuven is asking is: Why?

It is, yeah. Used to be that Belgium would naturalise anyone who’d lived there three years, but I believe that’s no longer the case. No idea how Brexshit is going to affect all this anyway.

Was just about to question why he was still there.

Another that will drift to non league I'd imagine
