I have heard from a reliable source within the last 5 minutes that we have agreed a fee with Wigan this morning for the signing of Marlon King.

I know a guy who has worked in the footballing world with Marlon King - He reckons if he had just the one brain cell he'd make a top level footballer. Unfortunately he is absolutely brain-dead.

Reminds me of a certain Mr Lita...

He didn't nick the car, he was done for receiving a stolen car.

Given the current state of our striking options, signing the boy racer would be most welcomed.

Well that certainly lifts spirits a little, at least its a step up from Rasiak.

29 years old, 108 goals in 342 league apps - (24 in 60 at Watford and 40 in 101 at Gillingham)

Now, the next question is - reliability of poster/source....?

I've never rated Marlon King, he may score some goals but he's no top notch forward IMO, not enough to get us out of this league anyway. Should have known it was all down hill the day that Shane Long got the number 9 shirt.

Would be over the moon with this signing - just think the sauce is a bit iffy. Sign Rasiak and King? I think we need to, but I'm not sure it will happen ....

The good thing with King is that he can manufacture a chance or a goal from nothing.

He's big, strong, with a very good touch and pretty quick still I'd imagine. He'd be a better bet for playing upfront on his own than Rasiak. Easily good enough to score plenty of goals in this league.

Not quite the DNA I was expecting Rodgers to be on the look out for, but we've left it a little late after the Smith distraction!

Mick Gooding's line about being glad he hadn't driven his car to the game when he saw King's name on the team sheet will go down in legend.

Would be a great signing on loan. Has a history of falling out everywhere he has been and is big time by all accounts.

But would be a great signing.

Not sure if this is actually true though....
