Ellis Simms

[CaptainMorgans]

Some chatter that Everton might use him as a makeweight with Coventry to get Gyokeres.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Meant to be going to Ipswich for 5m.. Have they got new owners? Big statement for them.

 

[Mouth of the South]

He certainly appears to be Champ bound which I must admit is a bit of a surprise as I suspected he may appeal to lower Prem sides (even possibly Utd).

 

[ancientblade]

simms is championship class and no better than jebbo everton would have kept him if they thought he was good enough for the premier league

Better crowds than the massive last year so they must be averaging 50k

yes just a pity there 'marvelous' fans dont back their team 99% of the season at least the 20k that come out of the wardrobe one game a season

Pigs after him according to the Star along with Ipswich and Sunderland.

No mention of us re Simms

Our mention is re interest in James Trafford

American owners for last 2 years (April 21) - spent ‘big’ by 3rd division standards to get promotion

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Sunderland fans aren't keen on a return for Simms. Thought he was highly rated there.

Not sure where you’re getting your info from -
Folk I speak to up (t)here would happily have him back - especially if Stewart goes (Luton purportedly entered a bid )

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

From what I have seen from him he is unit but that’s about it

If there is one striker in the championship bar Gyorkeres we should be after it’s Ross Stewart IMO

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Going to Cov for £8m.

 

[From the pig end]

Going to Cov for £8m.

I know they've come into some money, but that seems a lot

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Does seem a lot actually.
£5/6m with add-ons would've felt OK.

The market is nuts this year. Bad time to be completely skint.

If we'd signed Simms I'd have taken that. Think he'll become a good player and we lose McBurnie on a free next summer.

 

[jt64]

Would rather have Gyokeres than Simms + £10m if I was Cov

I'm sure Coventry would too.

 

[Blade56]

Or, it could be a good time to be skint given the prices clubs are asking. My big wonder is why everyone recons our best players are only worth a fraction of some of the current moves

Fucking hell, someone take his shoelaces off him.

Contracts mostly

Simms is younger, already has some Premier League experience and had a similar goals per game ratio to Gyokeres last season. It’s not a particularly bad deal…

 

[bakeblade]

Going to Cov for £8m.

£3.5m rising to £5m dependant on goals and appearances, then £8m if they get to the prem. Seems a good deal to me

That's a really good deal.
Genuinely think we should've gone for that.

Could our budget stretch to that? We’ve got 4 coming in plus another couple of loads at least.

Feels ridiculous that we're even asking the question after a promotion but this is what we've been reduced to and accepted.

Good signing for them.

We're already in the Prem.

Solid tweet

Got to eat the proverbial until a takeover I’m afraid.

Oh yes. So we are...
