2022/23 Ellis Simms

[Clarky cat]

He is at present about a 1 in 3 in the championship which is decent but not spectacular. He is 23 next January, again a young player but not that young.

I think that if we keep him in the squad as one of main strikers then we will be in another relegation battle as he just is not good enough at present to establish himself in the Premiership , at the same time it is no good for the player to be sitting on the bench every week

1 goal every 3 appearances is what you mean, yet he wasn’t playing full games. His goals per minutes played is excellent wherever he’s played. He’s worth decent coin is Ellis.

We’ll sell him to Coventry to replace the other lad, and the other lad will go to someone else.

Off to Coventry for a fee of up to 8 Million it would seem

Are we not speaking with him anymore? Why are we sending him to Coventry?

Groky fella has all but agreed to join Sporting.

Put it this way....no one is will to pay £8mill for either Gbamin, Iwobi, or Gomes

I think someone would pay 8 mil for Iwobi to be fair. The problem is nobody in their right mind would pay the 100 odd grand pw he’s on so he’d never go!

They got took over but even still, they haven’t shelled out that amount on a player for nearly a quarter of a century, indeed assuming the £8m is the full amount then it’ll be their most expensive signing ever, beating the £6.25m they paid Norwich for Craig Bellamy in 2000

 

[Tony Soprano]

Looks like £3.5m upfront.

He's not on £100k a week. He wants that though if I recall the contract talks that suddenly stopped.

Thanks for that, I had no idea how to spell his name either lol

 

[Tramps_mate]

We should be part exing for Gyokeres..

But we can't even convince a championship player to join us.

 

[StHelensBlue]

I agree with many of the above arguments about trying to part-exchange, plus some cash for the big Swede. It's also, very worrying that he isn't interested in joining Everton. I'm becoming more concerned about our failures to lure even half decent players.
