i wish jj was my dad Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 We should only be looking at better than we already have. If he isn't an upgrade we can pass. No doubt Levein will be blamed either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay James Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Folk at Hearts will have been well aware of Kings availability so obviously don't see him as someone we should be looking at. Guess we'll find out on Friday when he plays against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 The whole King brothers story is a bit mad. Billy clearly showed more ability to be rewarded with first team football before Adam, but then Adam goes to then Premier League Swansea for money, and now Billy has been binned from Dundee United while Adam goes there on trial.

OTT Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Find the whole situation frustrating, Billy was my pick of the bunch, always found him to be a much more exciting player to watch of the wingers that came through around that time - Walker, Nicholson & Smith. Annoys me that we binned him. We've been crying out for a player who can get on the ball and make things happen. Can't help but feel it was a harsh call to get rid. Adam King also frustrates me. He shouldn't have been sold - I think its done his long term career massive damage. He was heavily quoted as a youth as a lad that was going to make it. I vaguely recall a lot folk on here talking about Adam being the one to watch. I know we didn't have much of a choice but its a sore one to see where he is, to where he should be (IMO).

12XU Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 He went to Wales and loaned out in England and unfortunately failed the grade - a move back to a smaller team such as Dundee Utd may indeed reignite his career - a return to Tynecastle at this stage would make no sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what your saying, I just don't feel like he wasn't good enough to play for us (Like Scott Robinson, or Gordon Smith). He offered a lot, but for whatever reason it didn't work out. Just disappointed. I did point out in my post that we didn't really have much choice RE Adam, a real shame tbh, would have loved to have seen how he turned out alongside the rest of them (Paterson, Walker etc.). He was a CM that could play RB iirc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Boy Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 One of our management and coaching team referred to Billy as potentially the best of the young players at our club, but he had to believe in himself. He was given chances but just never kicked on. He clearly has talent, and I share the frustration that it never happened for him. Hopefully he kicks on again and gets back to a good level. Adam, I honestly couldn’t tell you. Never seen him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
