Deep joy.... I wonder if he can play up front....
He might get a sub appearance at the end of the season. It’s not wum to wish someone well after a new contract too many people on here filled with hate for other posters they don’t agree with.That will be on the first of never. Having seen him on the Molineux pitch against Rennes l sincerely hope to never do so again. Him diving was less dynamic than a fridge-freezer toppling over.
...
Neil cutler is well respected and obviously thinks differently he also sees him every day in training which is a bit different from making judgment on a 5 minute appearance in a preseason friendly.Seems a weird one to me.
He's clearly not at the level we need... and there's youth goalkeepers like Louie Moulden who are probably on significantly less wages, with a massive upside if they happen to come good
He's not a Wales international, been in the squad but never played. Not that that highly rated in the lower leagues, biggest thing going for him he's English so helps with our 'home grown' quota..He might get a sub appearance at the end of the season.

King has been given a long term deal because the club value him as a person, no doubt a full wales international should get a Wolves appearance before those 3 years are up!!
Interesting he’s English but gets in the wales squad every timeHe's not a Wales international, been in the squad but never played. Not that that highly rated in the lower leagues, biggest thing going for him he's English so helps with our 'home grown' quota..
Not really, Wales have a small pool of players to select from, non of their keepers are regular starters at their clubsInteresting he’s English but gets in the wales squad every time
Re your last sentence 'home grown' in football terms relates to where you did your youth training not your national identity.He's not a Wales international, been in the squad but never played.

Not a bad gig is it! Like Carson at City.Nice way to earn a decent living. Train all week, go on the occasional trip out with the first X1, never play a game and possibly then retire!
They say goalies are a different breed. I just can't believe outfield players would sign a 3.5 year deal knowing that they most probably will never play a game. Surely a professional sportsman takes up whatever sport to play it, not just watch from the side-lines?Not a bad gig is it! Like Carson at City.
Being born in Plymouth and playing all your football since you were 13 in England / Wales does mean you qualifyRe your last sentence 'home grown' in football terms relates to where you did your youth training not your national identity.
Yeah it is a bit strange in that sense, especially as he’s in his peak years. But I guess being a part of a Premier League squad is appealing when the alternative is playing in League One/Two? Probably on more money too.They say goalies are a different breed. I just can't believe outfield players would sign a 3.5 year deal knowing that they most probably will never play a game.

I’m really, really bloody excited.
Guess he’s on about 250k a year here as opposed to 80k in league 2.Yeah it is a bit strange in that sense, especially as he’s in his peak years. But I guess being a part of a Premier League squad is appealing when the alternative is playing in League One/Two? Probably on more money too.

Absolutely. But "homegrown" does not equal English.Being born in Plymouth and playing all your football since you were 13 in England / Wales does mean you qualify
The difference being that Carson in the past was a first choice PL keeper and full international.Not a bad gig is it! Like Carson at City.
I think you'll find that whilst he has been called up to the Wales squad he has never been capped.He might get a sub appearance at the end of the season. It’s not wum to wish someone well after a new contract too many people on here filled with hate for other posters they don’t agree with.

Yeah but City are on a different planet to us and he’s got one start and one sub appearance in 5 years, so it doesn’t really matter as the likelihood of your third choice keeper actually playing is extremely low.The difference being that Carson in the past was a first choice PL keeper and full international.
We could of at least gone for a big name to be third choice like Guillermo Ochoa Magana. Probably would be the best keeper at the club.

Joking aside. He’s there to help the younger lads. That’s obvious. But I thought Bentley did the same thing? Why so many keepers?
The young lads out on loan will probably want to leave knowing their career at Wolves is just loan spells
Three keepers is pretty standard isn’t it? I don’t think it does a young keeper much good being third choice, they’re better off out on loan getting experience. It’s not like young outfield players who can be given 10 mins as a sub here and there.We could of at least gone for a big name to be third choice like Guillermo Ochoa Magana.

If that’s the case why didn’t we sign someone from Wolverhampton Casuals?Yeah but City are on a different planet to us and he’s got one start and one sub appearance in 5 years, so it doesn’t really matter as the likelihood of your third choice keeper actually playing is extremely low.
One old head is enough. Ruddy for example (while he was here). Two old heads hard great competition for Sa (not).He's here specifically so that those young lads can go out on loan rather than having to rot waiting for a spot on our bench when Bentley/Sa is injured. They're not going to leave because they think their path to being 3rd choice keeper is blocked by Tom King!
Because Tom King is a professional? But we probably could have and it wouldn’t make much difference to the first team. Who would you like as a third choice keeper?If that’s the case why didn’t we sign someone from Wolverhampton Casuals?

Is what it is. I trust the club. How can we find the next Murray or Ikeme if they have no chance of getting into the match day squad.
I hope you’re right. Not sure the likes of Moulden will want to hang around too long though! Class shines through. He will get a lower half championship club easily.. (That’s all Wolves were when Ikeme & Murray broke through)Because the next Murray or Ikeme will do well out on loan at another club, and if and when they do, they'll easily be able to get past King. This has obviously been done to help the young keepers.
