Some on here had Kent down as a shite player 2 games in then wee crying out for us to sign him at the end of the season.

I think King will be good for back up in case of injury or suspension. He plays well coming off the bench which is likely the role he has been signed up for. Has experience of coming up through the English divisions so shouldn't have a problem adjusting to Scottish football and is only 31 so fitness shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Maybe it's just his surname that irks some, now if he were called Ashley... 

Good post mate and I agree it's hopefully going to be a long season with a lot of games and we will need guys like this to help out.

Take arfield out n put halliday in for the 6th midfielder.  I player we really don't need imho.

I haven't seen much of him tbh so not saying hes no good. Just not a player we need. As for your 3 lbs. Flanagan is a rb being played out of position.  Barisic is hopeless and halliday isn't really a lb either.  

I can't ever see halliday playing in midfield for us again unless it's the likes of Sunday v East Fife or a massive injury crisis. Agree with you on Flanagan tho but he's the same as halliday and more a utility player across the back line which is why I don't think we urgently need a lb right now. If we do go for a lb I really hope its not Taylor from killie

People saying Halliday can play in midfield are off their rockers.

Halliday contributes fuck all in any position he plays. He’s a cheerleader, nothing more.

I'd rather him as LB than either of the other two

The way our midfield are scoring goals, as well as our defenders, we don't need anymore strikers anyway ...ha.

The problem is we are going to find it hard to attract a decent striker to our club to be 3rd choice simple as that

thank you if you read my post that the muppet replied to that was the point i was making

He’s also Leicester’s top scoring midfielder of all time.

Well he has been at the club for around 12 years, a lot of his games would have been in lower divisions than the EPL. My point was he's certainly not a goal threat and had scored around 5 goals in his last 5 seasons.

Just my opinion, I dont think he is any better than we have at the club and I dont think he strengthens our bench.

Well done for stating the obvious. 

What do you think, who does he replace?

Well he’s a better player than Docherty is for a start and he’s somebody who’s been in and around match day squads so far this season.

Andy scored in a 4-2 win against Man City

[bluenoz 30,691]

if we are getting the Andy King of 3 seasons ago then it is a fantastic signing. At 30, he should still have plenty in the tank. In fact 30 is in your prime these days.

[BoyBlue62 50]

I trust the manager on this , some of the comments on here are strange, considering he has not played a game for us yet.

[graeme_4 34,381]

Two players in every position is Gerrard’s plan.

GK McGregor, Fod

RB Tav, Flanagan

CB Goldson, Edmundson

CB Katic, Helander 

LB Halliday, Barasic

DM Davis, Kamara

CM Jack, Doherty 

CM Aribo, King 

AM Arfield, Jones

AM Ojo, Barker

CF Morelos, Defoe 

Reseves: Firth, Polster, Stewart, Hastie, Rudden

If you bring in a first choice LB and Kent in for Barker then that’s league winning stuff.

It's quite impressive when you look at it. The only other possible signing would be Kent.  And I can really see Barisic leaving for the right money and Polster as RB second choice.

He certainly strengthens our bench - and if we compete on all fronts we have a lot of games - he is experienced many of our central midfielders arnt - he can spell / replace Steve Davis especially when we need experience - great addition to the squad

scott arfield was at burnley for 5 years, in the championship/premier league like king at leicester, and in almost 200 games he amassed 22 goals.

hes played 51 here and got 14 already. 

Ill trust the manager and hopefully he can produce in a more attacking role.
