2021/22 Ellis Simms

[Bluestar]

No rush , he’s contracted until 2024. If he is on loan and avoids injuries he’ll likely improve and score more goals next season and be worth more money then . There’s little downside for us keeping him another year.

I understand that position, but we need to return to normal player trading and stop holding on to youngsters too long. He has been on two loans, it’s time to decide.

His stock is high and we could get a good fee for him right now. I believe we should either be looking to use him to bolster the first team, or take a profit and re invest.

Personally, I think he will be a good backup striker option. I would like to see him in the first team squad.

I guess we could demand something like £1m with sell on clause. He should be on low wage.

It will be quite a bit more than that. He has been successful and made an impact on both loans.

Doubt we would get a fee above say 2/3m currently. He needs a real breakout season to push his value up significantly.

Give him a pre-season under Lampard and judge him then.
Same for most our players really.

I think Simms either joins the first team next season or is sold.

In which case, I hope he's sold. He isn't good enough for the Premier League. But that's not to say he can't be a great player for a club at HIS level. Championship player. Very similar style of player to DCL but nowhere near the same level.

 

[Death]

Out of our wage bracket and probably transfer fee-bracket too.

Would you give over. He would only cost you about 20 million max.

Nice clip of Simms’ time at Hearts.

Thanks Ellis, and all the best.

Thanks Ellis, and all the best.

Couple of lovely finishes there and seemingly strong as an ox.

 

[Noble Savage]

I think we should at least give him pre season and maybe the last week of August to impress Frank.
There's no need to sell him for a million or 2 before the club can see how much he has progressed while across the border.

He's a flat footed get.

He's a flat footed get.

….he’s better than Rondon.

 

[TheNinja]

….he’s better than Rondon.

He's a better finisher than DCL...

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

….he’s better than Rondon.

By a wide margin.
If we start the season with Rondon as our back up CF we could potentially have the exact problems we had this season regardless of whether we retain or replace DCL.
Sell Rondon keep Simms.
