2021/22 Ellis Simms

There are goals in him, whether or not he proves to be good enough for the Prem is moot. I would like to see him kept as back up striker, I'd be really interested to see if he can take his chance when it comes.
 
We should definitely recall the big man. He's done really well at Hearts. My only doubt is his pace. He's a large man and not the fastest on two feet.

But remember Lukaku!

….I doubt we can ‘sell’ Rondon, indeed I doubt we could give him away. Regardless, Simms will leapfrog him in the reckoning.

Apparently Real Mallorca are interested in Rondon, some past connection with their manger/ coach or something. If he goes , that and the 5 sub rule opens up opportunities for Simms and Dobbin up until Christmas then we can evaluate a loan or stay scenario for one or both .

Be a big opportunity for both lads. Have a hint of Anichebe and Vaughan the way they play.

….absolutely but even in his current standard he’ll be a handful & he’ll occupy defenders. He’s always come alive when the ball is played behind CBs or is in the box but he’s definitely more combative than he was 12 months or so ago.

Simms is raw but i genuinely think he can be effective coming off the bench or as back-up.

Yeah, for me, we give him a chance from the bench. Or send him to a championship team on loan, for 6 months and see where we go from there.
It's time we started developing players properly. Like the good old days. Go on loan, go on another loan to a tougher league, come back and fight for your place whilst making some appearances from the bench.
Same for Dobbin and Onyango and branthwaite
We could have players there. Time to do the right thing and develop them properly. If they don't have it, they don't have it. But we should be doing it properly. Worst case scenario. We know Simms can do it in Scotland. Teams up there will take him, if we sell.

….another loan is pointless, we use him or sell him.
