Sell him for under 100 million.
If he could improve his shooting, he'd be worth 100m. Otherwise it reduces his end product significantly. Often gets into great goal scoring positions, but scuffs or misdirects. He's still young enough to work on that.

Agreed but my frustration is that this applies to pretty much our entire squad (except Sess). We can play such nice football, if only our forwards' finishing was better we would be so much more dominant.
Nowhere near a six figure valuation. Not even close. A player needs to be pouring in goals to be even in that conversation. As well as King has played, and as much as I like him and feel he's been our top performer so far this season, he just isn't scoring enough goals to be worth the numbers being sought in this topic.
FFC needs production from King, Garcia, Bobb, Kevin, Iwobi to stay above water and avoid the relegation discussion. (I know Kevin is seeing limited play time, would like to see more of him.) And by production, I mean scoring goals! This team has created many great scoring chances and has fluffed most of them, the above named being the guilty parties involved. FFC will also need goals from midfield and occasionally backline defenders. Let's see more goal scoring! We create chances, let's Finish!!
The club must know finding the back of the net is a problem. We never replaced Mitro with a goal scorer, then for different reasons had to let our top 2 scorers last year go, and did not replace with goal scoring solutions.
He is worth £100 million to us.
If Liverpool or someone else decides he is not worth £100 million, then they do not have to buy him. Seems pretty simple to me.

Well, I do think Garcia was meant to be that solution, to a certain degree. Sure, not proven like Metro, but came here with high expectations, a high price tag, and high hype. Sadly, been very disappointing to date. If he had been able to convert just half of his grade A scoring chances, FFC would likely be mid table and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Just one word potential. He is only 19 and already shows great skill amd attacking flair. I agree he needs to add goals to his game but he would have had a few more this season were or not for some good saves. I particularly like the way he tries to turn with the ball and attack, look at the way he turned the Hull defender on Saturday. Also part of the game is providing assists amd generating attacks, already a greay part of his game.

Raul last season only scored 5 goals in open play in 36 games.

He scored plently of penalties on top of that, Wilson scored plenty too, seems we are not even getting penalties right now

It is almost as if we have a really good knack of buying duffers. Yet once again I look at Brighton's +18 GD after 7 games, what a window they had again, something about our tranfer/scouting system seems broken

Which is great, 20+ goals gone from those two, who looks like getting 20+ together this season?
I just hope he stays for two more seasons.

Garcia and King on current pace score 16 goals over a full season. Just slightly better finishing from them and they blow past 20.
Josh King is the most promising young England player in the country right now, he has had 17 shots with 9 on target, 3 blocked and 5 off target. At the moment he is on target to score 11 goals if just one of those other shots had gone in he would be on target to get 16 goals, last season MGW was the top midfielder scorer with 15. I have said it before in my opinion some of our fans have an inferiority complex when it comes to our club. At 19 Josh King is the first name on the team sheet and he is only going to get better.

Definitely,I call it common sense !
In 1955 Johnny Haynes made his England debut and in 1964 George Cohen followed suit. I think these may be the only two who have played for England after coming through our beloved club's youth set up. Ludlow Richard would put me straight.
I wonder if Josh will become a third.....

Paul Parker
Djed Spence
Dan Burn (joined at 19 so not quite youth set up but spent a year in U21s)
Eze spent 3 years at Fulham in the youth set up
Chris Smalling
Zat Knight
And oh so close- Sean Davis!
But how many Fulham (born and bred) players have played for England?

I have been put in my place! I did mean play while at the club. I think out of that list just Zat Knight.

Yes I think you're right. Zamora played for England I think when he was at Fulham. Can't think of any others that came through the youth ranks- though Musiala who plays for Bayern and Germany was at Fulham youth and turned his back on England!
pretty certain Josh will be an England player soon.

Paul Parker was so, so good. If only injury hadn't slowed him down he could have been right up there as one of the very best. His timing into the tackle was literally the best I have ever seen.

I still recall when Zamora came on as a sub for England and nearly scored but they didn't bother to show the action replay as it was near the end! I got the right ump!
