Aidy Reiterates - King Not For Sale

Last updated : 14 January 2008 By Sam
Fulham have already had a £4million bid for King rejected by the Hornets and Boothroyd claims that the club are not in need of the cash that would be generated from the sale of their top goalscorer.

"At this time of year there is a lot of speculation and when you have good players and you are successful, then people are going to come for your players," he said.

"But it is quite simple, we don't need to sell, especially to a club who we might be changing places with.

"In order for a player to move I've got to want him to go, the player has got to want to leave, the money has got to be right and there has got to be a replacement.

"None of those four criteria are being met, so I don't care how many times it gets flashed across the television or how much speculation there is, I want him to stay so he stays. That's it.

"I don't need any money so there is no fee for Marlon."
