The wrong move in my opinion. I'd rather spend £6 million on an up and coming young player from maybe the Championship, rather than a 29 year old who has one or two decent seasons left in him. |  | |  |

No brainer. Decent player, worth 6 million in today's money. |  |

This.
We'd have to be pretty sure that he is the best we can get for £6m. I'd be very surprised if he is. |  |

It would be fair to say that he could do a job, be it in the PL or Championship. It also says a lot about our ambition or lack of it. Maybe it is time to force through some players from the Academy if there is an unwillingness to fork out on some decent quality. How depressing, and the silly season hasn’t even started yet |  | | |

Swansea need a leader and a general with experience on the midfield.
If King has these qualities, then sign him. |  | | |

6M!
Nice to see that we are still considering going down the same route that has served us well for the last 24 months.
We need players who want to come here and make a mark in the premeir league NOT players coming to the end of their years. |  |

Would be a good buy at £6M. |  | | |

Nothing wrong with this. He's a decent enough piano carrier.
We need to get someone to play the damn thing as well though. |  |

Well now. I was totally underwhelmed by this loan deal because I thought he was pretty crap if I'm honest, a championship player. But after watching that one game and the way he kept the ball moving, brought others into play and did a shedload of dirty work, I was very impressed.
Leon is gone, done, injury prone and an old man. Very sad and a massive blow, but happens to us all. We have been trying to get similar since Canas and failed. Look at frigging Mesa. At least with King we are having a look first before buying and, if we think he's doing it then yes of course we should buy rather than taking another risk. I swear to God some think there is a production line of fantastic players that no one else has seen. Every transfer is a massive risk. Every one. At least with this one we've tried before we buy. |  |

Well not so long ago, people wanted to sell mawson and spunk that and more on Tammy Abraham. That's ambition and young hungry players for you. Just as well we tried him out first eh? | |

Can't argue with that but for me this just goes to highlight that our recruitment procedures are shot and the bloke in charge of it hasn't got a clue.
Unless we sort this out, particularly with profit hungry Hedge Funders in the background, then the Christmas managerial merriegoround will continue and our luck will run out. If it hasn't done so already...... |  |

Yeah by buying a player who does the sh!t that is vital and no one sees
Yes hes 29 but he is very experienced and if he gives us 2-3 years of good service by sitting in front of the back 4/5 and keeping the ball moving then 6m is a snip |  | | |

Happy enough with that, although would like to see more until the end of the season. He's surpassed expectations so far in his limited game time. Looks a step above Carroll and Ki imo (which is probably more a reflection on them than on King). |  | | |

Good value at that price, I’m for it. |  | | |

If he's 29 then surely he's got more than 1 or 2 seasons.
I thought he was just the job when he started against West Ham.
Solid and reliable. he kept possession and moved us forward. |  | | |

He’d be a good addition to the team. A solid player. |  | | |

have long time thought King would fit. Not sure we will survive if we do its a no brainer really |  | | |

£6m is fine for a player that we know can do it and still has 2-3 good seasons left in him.
I reckon we can get him for a bit cheaper though. |  | | |

A consistent reliable steady performer who will be a good squad addition. Played in 30 odd of Leicesters 38 league games when they were League Champions that tells you something about him. What also tells you something is that he rarely makes the headlines and that's a positive as he quietly gets on with his role which is similar to the one Britton has done so well. Got two seasons in him at this level. | |

Also it actually appears he wants to come here, which is the sort of player CC wants. | | | |

Exactly. He's a great pro that will put in 7/10 performances every week. Not to be sniffed at. | | | |

I"d risk it for a swisskit,....as stated looks like he wants to come here . and has maybe 3 years left..
but as others say, looks like our scoutings rubbish and leaving us in that hole, also if hes signing players now, shows theres no sign of going. |  | | |
| Swansea City keen to sign midfielder Andy King permanently on 13:19 - Mar 26 with 5256 views | Neath_Jack |
A steal at that price IMO.
I know someone will come up with some random foreign player that is cheaper, as a comparison, but save it for those easily impressed by foreign names,
Very experienced player who does all the basic things well, something we've been sorely missing. |  |

This is the kind of signing that we get right more often than not. It’s the marquee signings that tend to prove disastrous.
If we are going to stick with three box to box midfielders, we need one to do the dirty work and play the simple balls.
We may knock them down a bit as they don’t seem to want him, but I don’t think £6m for King is unrealistic. It’s getting the playmaker/big signing right that concerns me, not the water carrier, I think he’s very good at it. | | | |
