	Ledley King - Pen Picture
		Tall, good in the air and an excellent reader of the game, his thin frame was much like that of Campbell when he first broke through, but the England Under-21 international has improved both physique and the experience that is necessary to play at the highest level.
		In reserve games, King had the confidence to bring the ball out from the back and his distribution was good.
		Another injury kept Ledley out of the reckoning shortly before the start of the 2003-04 season kicked off and then four games in, he tore a hamstring, keeping him out for another two months.

	TOPSPURS - the world famous unofficial home of Tottenham Hotspur on the Internet
		Ledley’s early career was characterised by solid play, playing it simple and being effective but as he has got more responsibility a few more errors than we could have expected from a player of his general quality have crept in, and eradication of these errors will be the making or breaking of him.
		I always had faith that Ledley was going to be a real star (see comments below) and it is fantastic that he is now winning plaudits from a wide audience and full International recognition should not be far away.
		Despite the fierce competition for central defensive positions, King's name should be to the fore as he has the class to go to the very top (hopefully nicking Rsol's England place before the end of the season).

		King was better still during the 2003/04 campaign, although following the departure of Glenn Hoddle, David Pleat thought it best to use the defender as a midfielder - a role in which he was equally as impressive in.
		A series of injuries to key defenders meant King was included in the squad, and he certainly rose to the occasion, keeping his composure despite the defeat to France.

		King has also grown in stature and proved himself on the international stage with England, ironically benefiting from another Campbell injury to get his chance in Sven-Goran Eriksson's team.
		King has to keep a close eye on Thierry Henry, while Toure needs to subdue Jermain Defoe.
		the thing that edged it for King in my view is that he almost singlehandedly carries a s**t team, whilst Toure i see as one of the minor players in an excellent team.

		King has pace, is good in the air and is also versatile.
		Hmmm i am not sure on Ledley, would like to see him in europe first, maybe at the world cup he would get a run in, but he seems to be impressing week in week out for spuds so probably.
		We should see how he pans out for the rest of the season but bringing in King for him is probably a good idea because King can play in midfield as well.
