Cardiff City - Fit for a King?

“I will have something finalised for Marlon in the next seven days,” the player’s agent Tony Finnigan says about stories that Marlon King will join a Championship club but not until after the weekend. The question is will it be Cardiff, Coventry or QPR who are all rumoured to be closing in on him.

King has just been released from jail after the married father sexually abused and assaulted a woman in 2008, that wasn't his first time in trouble or jail. It did, though, see his contract cancelled by Premier League Wigan - who signed him for £5,000,000 - leaving him to a make a new start after his release over the summer.

It's no secret Dave Jones and Cardiff City need a striker as they rely too heavily on Michael Chopra and Jay Bothroyd without sufficient back-up so he would fit ther bill ... bing a free transfer signing!

While he doesn't seem to be a nice guy, he is a successful footballer and should be someone with a point to prove. He has 108 goals to his name and I'm sure the 30 year old will add a few more with whoever he joins.
