But was not great at Cardiff, and QPR, and was not even in the team at Southampton, and Liverpool.

Plus why would Spurs sell an up and coming potential England CB at a knockdown price if he was so good, no they sold him because they could see he was not as good as first thought.

Good CB's are hard to find, so no club likes to sell them unless they are surplus to requirements, and he was not that at Spurs as they still have not found a genuine replacement for King.

Spurs have done alright with Aldervwield and Vertonghen in there now. When they sold himi, he had just played in the Olympics and needed to play regular first team football to have any hope of making waves and getting into England squad. As many have said, there is no point keeping an unhappy player.
Cardiff wasn't the best move for hiim I admit, but he was guaranteed first team football in the premiership. Yes they were crap but that was not all on him, he did ok can you name me the rest of that Cardiff back 4 and how many of them were kept at a higher level?

QPR was his major f**k up. He clearly went for money and therefore his career has stalled. You are right, good CBs are hard to find but good CBs don't want to be sat on a bench at a top 4 club,t hey want to be playing. He has all the attributes to be a top CB with a bit of love and game time I think he will be.

When Spurs sold him they were far from a good side, and King was constantly injured, then retired the following season.

I beg to differ, he has poor judgement, and is too inconsistent in the middle, and as you pointed out he's a mercenary only after as much money as he can get and at only £4.5m he is far to expensive to play at U12 level, yes U12.

Have a good friend who is a QPR fan. He said he would drive the player over himself if we're prepared to pay that money. To quote him "He's sh1t and on the booze".

Of course, you never know if rumours are true, but there seems a little too much for taking the risk IMO (no smoke without fire, etc).

Now here's Wright, his first chance to see what he can do, and he's through, it's Wright, ohhhh what an impact by the substitute. And it's Ian Wright who's sent the Palace fans into ecstasy!

Did Delaney have a good track record before he came to us? Perhaps he will flourish and forge a strong bond with Dann? And as to his past, you play in poor sides with confidence sapped, it is bound to have an impact on every player. And if I was a good player at QPR I too would hit the booze.

Frankly, I see him as a Mutch # 2. However [and I may be clutching at straws] he could equally be Hangeland's replacement for a season; DD plays out his contact; and Caulker [or Kelly?] steps up to the plate in 2017 if he [either?] meet the grade.

But not for £6.5M!

There is a reason he has been at about 6 prem clubs and been moved on by all of them. If he was good he'd still be at one of those clubs.
