Marlon King - Worth a punt?

Sky Sports understands that Marlon King is one of a host of Birmingham's players told they can find new clubs, due to Blues' financial situation.

The 32-year-old, who has scored over 30 goals since he joined Birmingham in 2011 from Midlands rivals Coventry City, is currently top-scorer for the club.

But Birmingham are struggling hugely financially and are understood to have told a number of players that if they find a new club they would be able to leave.

And Sky Sports understands that King could leave on a free transfer, despite having 18 months left on his current deal.

While King is settled at St Andrew's and is happy, a host of clubs have been alerted to the fact he could be available.

Former club Wigan, Norwich, Cardiff, Blackburn, Bolton and Nottingham Forest are thought to be monitoring his situation.

Along with King is it thought that the futures of big names such as Jack Butland, Nathan Redmond, Chris Burke and Nikola Zigic are very much up in the air.

What he is rhymes with punt.

Bring him on ....we can have five strikers on the bench....that will be somat to see.

Horrible, horrible man. Punches women in the face in nightclubs because they spurn his lecherous advances. We are a family club, no room for his sort whatsoever.

We have 9 strikers on our books competing for one place and the rare occasion we play two at a time. We could get rid of 5 of them and spend all the money on one decent striker - and still have more strikers than we need. Time to substitute quantity for quality on the striker front - and Marlon King, apart from being a twat, is not at the level of quality needed to significantly improve what he have.

God i hope not.

Right Im not happy with this, The guy as been convicted of sexual
assault and actual bodily harm, Why the hell would anyone want this guy
at a club.

Didn't he convert to islam when he was in the nick?

He's better than anything we have - for those of you that disagree look at his scoring record compared to our muppets.

But we could sign Messi and Dougie would still pick Kevin Davies.

As reebok trotter said, there's no room for people like him at our club.

RT didn't say anything that was racist, I was just basically agreeing with him.

Try again

For all you know Kevin Davies is better than Messi.

I'm only interested in signing better players, Marlon King is one.

So he hit some bird, he's done his time, I'm guessing most of you on here have hit a woman at some point in your life.

I'd hit you.

You'd try, but you'd end up eating dirt.

If he scores goals for us all will be forgiven I assure you.

Although I'm not thrilled with a 32 year old ....that's still 4 years younger than SKD

It's all rumor anyhow, let's wait and see.

I'll get marlon to do it, then we'll see if you still want to sign him.

I don't remember anyone complaining when we signed Dean Holdsworth.

Thought you were desperate to see Sordell given a chance?

This would push him further down the pecking order.
