so you wouldn't want King in your team?

Some gooners like Banter. Some gonners can take banter. But some are atrociously inadequate at making in real sense of football and some basic knowledge.

I don't think any Spurs fan would resent Henry joining Spurs if it ever happened, and I doubt any normal Arsenal fan would resent King joining their team.

Either way, this is a massive blow for Spurs although I have seen Rocha play at WHL and thought he was great. Shame about the slip up he made because he is MUCH better than Gardener.

Wenger likes his kids foreign, he can "nurture" them.

I know im probably not wanted here but i have to say i think King is one of your best players. I'm hoping he goes the same route as Sol Campbell (very unlikely however).

He is pretty versatile and should have more caps by now i think. Hes also a reasonably good captain. We maybe rivals but even the most fickle arsenal fans should realise you lot have some decent players. You were missing your 3 best players on wedensday so maybe we were lucky there.

How sad but typical that we have representatives from the a*senal fans commenting on this article. We all know that they have a very fickle fan base. We also know that most fans have 'signed up' to the a*rsenal cause since they won a thing or two. The fact remains that they are insanely jealous of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and the fact that Spurs is a much more widely supported club. As far as Ledley is concerned, MJ (Jol Man) knew he was at risk, hence, signing the Rock. I, along with all other true football fans and England supporters wish him the very best. It is so sad that Emirates followers delight at the news of Ledley's demise. However, they have little to shout about and know that Monsiuer Wenger will soon be off to feather his own french nest. COYS!!

A couple of weeks ago I asked if Tottenham fans were worried about King becomeing another sick note. So far this season he has played 21 out of 35 games. If he is back in 8 weeks it will be about half a season. Do Tottenham fans think he has just been unlucky or are you starting to worry that he will never be as great as you hope because you can only get half a season out of him?

He needs to be sold while he is still worth money and he could probably sold to a lower level team. His value is only in the time he can spend on the field. It just isn't there. Sell or trade him, but lets move on with building a team that can stay relatively healthy and on the pitch. Injuries are expected but let's get real here. Great leader, great talent, but value is only a reality when he is playing. When he's playing our chancess of winning increase and it's the reverse when he isn't. He will miss half this season, so his value too, has diminished.

Spurs are missing king more than Carrick.

Have you a replacement for Davenport?

Without King our defence is a disaster. Rocha may be a good temporary replacement but can we hold it together without his experience and leadership at the back? especially facing a man utd onslaught on sunday?
I also think it is time to move on, sell King for a very decent price and get someone who is not as injury-prone and has as much experience. We have enough youth in our team anyway.

I think Rocha will be a strong player. I also think when King recovers from his bad luck he will stay healthy. And then I think we should move Rocha out to the left. A back four of Chimbonda Dawson King and Rocha is a strong one.

Hasnt any1 noticed. Tottenhams best centre back "gets injured" and is out for a strangely long time for broken foot and we try signing first Anton Ferdinand and then Ricardo Rocha. Ledley is on his way to Chelsea
