The latest WHU Championship target is said to be Bournemouth's Joshua King and he would be a good signing. At 28 he's not exactly the young player Moyes said he was after, but King's a proven Premier League performer and has scored roughly one goal every three games for Bournemouth (48 goals in 161 games). He's also a Norwegian international and as he has only one year on his contract is relatively cheap. Though the worry is that David Sullivan is haggling over the £17m price and thinks it should be much lower. We need a get a deal over the line quickly as virtually everyone else has gone in the Championship sales. He would be our second King after King Arthur of course.
Meanwhile Anderson has gone to Porto for a season and I hope he can get his confidence back. He had a very poor season last time but showed enough under Pellegrini to prove that he is a player of great ability when he scored nine goals in his first season and made a lot of assists (including Antonio's equaliser against Liverpool). Remember the brace at Southampton and that curler into the top corner against Palace? Talent is too rare to give up on. If Felipe could find consistency he might yet be a success at West Ham.
