I wouldn't be surprised if he (King) went back to Argyle in all honesty - rather him than Mark Ellis! As I mentioned on another thread I hope we might make a move for Plymouth based, ex Argyle defender and currently free agent Marcel Seip who is a defender who can play both Left Back and Centre Half (ideal!) and wants to get fixed up with a local club after leaving Bradford City where he was only on a short term contract. That said,it may well be that Seip proves too expensive for us and Lingy will go for the cheaper option, such as the young lad (Davies) that we had on trial here a few weeks back following his release from Cardiff City.
As for Kuffour, no chance on two counts, firstly far too expensive for us these days and also one of the reasons given by him for wanting a move away from Bristol was a desire to move closer to London. I can see him getting fixed up with someone like Leyton Orient.
