Josh King

Josh King is worth more to Fulham on the field of play if he stays.

Totally agree.  If he goes anywhere I would rather it were to Barcelona or Borussia Dortmund rather than Livepuddle or Manure.
Has anyone asked him what his aims/dreams are?

I can guarantee he would already be called up playing for a big 6 club

To be fair to the boy, he has Bellingham, Gibbs-White, Palmer in front of him. I don't think that's a guarantee at all. He was fast-tracked to train with the full squad for the World Cup, that's impressive and doesn't show a big club bias.

On the selling front, I think he would 'do a Sess' and sign a contract to maximise Fulham's return.
Any money we do get for him in the future would be very useful for our SCR calculations too.

Josh King is under contract at Fulham until June 2029. Obviously we don't know if there is a release clause of any sort but if he went (for example) at the end of this season we should expect a substantial fee given that there would be two years to go on his contract.

And he is English which always adds to the fee.

I know football has to be run like a business and we always need to consider PSR, or whatever it is called now, but can't we just enjoy a young homegrown talent like Josh without having to treat him like a commodity?

For a bit longer anyway.

If he was considering leaving in Jan or even this summer I'd say six words:

Ryan Sessegnon
Harvey Elliot
Fabio Carvalho

Far better off developing as a regular starter here for at least the next 2 seasons. I guess if he has absolutely no intention of signing a new contract beyond 2029 to allow us to recoup full market value then that's another story.

Alex Scott is a useful reference point.  He's just come in to the England team, played very well indeed and looks an England player for years to come, current injury notwithstanding.  No surprise to me - he was magnificent at the Cottage last season.  Turned in a performance far better than anything Josh King did last season and, if I'm being objective, better than Josh King this season too.  But this isn't really a post comparing players in different positions, but to note that lots of playing time in the premier league in a team that has a strong plan is going to help someone in Josh Kings position.  He should take a lot of heart from Alex Scott's international emergence.

BBC are reporting Arsenal, Liverpool and Dortmund tracking Josh and reported value of £51m. I'd say do one unless you double that, bearing in mind his age and potential.

£50m?!

😂😂😂😂😂

I don't personally think he's knocking on the England door anytime soon but I agree he's on the radar and earmarked for the future. I think it would be well advised to keep grounded (fortunately he seems beyond his years in that regard) Having a mentor in Sess couldn't be more perfect too. Here's to him keeping fit and progressing beautifully playing first team football for us. He still needs a bit of physical development and to work on the end product but he's a real real talent.
