I thought the Telegraph reported earlier that today was the "emergency" loan window closure day??

they're doing things properly, take note SISU, to compete, you must have players.
To be completely honest, we are very lucky to have been graced by King, he is far and away too good for us. Best player we have had since relegation, definitely, anyone who has seen him will agree. Wish him luck in the future and am gutted, sorry and very sad to see that my club hasn't got enough ambition to keep hold of him. When we are in league 2 we will think back, "bloody hell remember when we had Marlon King" Letting him go will be one of Covs biggest mistakes, it would be up there with having Van nistelrooy on trial and deciding he wasn't good enough, nice one strach.

Are cardiff in financial trouble? I'm sure i read somewhere they owe a few million. Could be a last throw of the dice to ensure promotion and sky's bucketfull of millions.

I remember when Blackburn first got the Jack Walker money. They were in what's now the Championship and going for promotion and they seemed to buy strikers off all their promotion rivals.
Somehow don't think Cardiff see us as promotion rivals though............

I remember when cardiff were in the league 1 playoff final with stoke in the 90's and they bough hoekstra off them right before they played each other in the final.... he scored and cardiff got promoted. It's a good tactic if you can afford it. Just wonder if they have checked the table since early december?

MK isn't to good for us
SISU isn't good for us
No investment No ambition.

I'm fairly sure he's completed the ban and is available for Watford.

Chopra is out for the rest of the season, could be looking to replace him

I don't think King is THAT good ~ I might look back saying remember when we had Keane and MacAllister, or Hutchinson and Stein, or Wallace and Ferguson, but whilst King abviously has a bit of class on the pitch, he is shining in Devision 1 - I don't remember him shining in the Premiership.

Diagnosed: you only have to look at his first touch to realise he is head and shoulders above anything we have and most in this league. In fact the only player I can think of that we have had in recent seasons to compare with that extra bit of class is Dennis Wise.
Marlon plays in a team with players around him who create nothing. He feeds off scraps and works his socks off. If he hadn't had the baggage that surrounded his arrival he would be running the palyer of the season award close imo.
Some point to his goalscoring record as not being great but when you consider the time out of the team to get his sharpness back, sendings off, a short injury not long after he started and a couple of games starting as sub then it's pretty decent. I'm certain with a pre-season behind him and if he could stay fit and available, then 25 goals (particularly if he got on penalties) in a 46 game season wouldn't be unrealistic. Bear in mind we have had NO PLAYER SCORE 20 LEAGUE GOALS IN A SEASON FOR 40 YEARS and that would be quite an achievement here.

King's touch is generally good, but his tactical awareness isn't - he is caught offside too often, and not because he's so quick like Huckerby, but because he gets caught by the defense stepping forward. There is also a serious question about his temperment.
My Bad.... Sorry about that. All games blend into 1 big pile of dodo lately ha ha.

If we can't afford to keep him, then it's the right decision to get rid of him
