Just seen that it’s only rising to £8m if they get promoted! So it’ll be more like £5m.

Annoying that Man City are selling players who’ve never played a single minute of Premier League football for absolute top dollar (James Trafford £15m, Shea Charles £10.5m rising to £15m, Bazunu, Lavia, Edozie, Larios for a combined £38m) whereas Simms is a proven Championship striker AND played & scored in the EPL; yet we’re only getting £5m for him…
Well, TBF when you cant get time for a club that was almost relegated, people assume you arent that good. If you cant get time for a club that is one of the best in the world, they assume you might still be good.

Yes but that’s my point:

James Trafford = 0 minutes played for Man City

Romeo Lavia = 0 mins played for Man City

Gavin Bazunu = 0 mins played for Man City

Samuel Edozie = 0 mins played for Man City

Juan Larios = 0 mins played for Man City

Shea Charles = 27 mins played for Man City in their 0-1 defeat to Brentford

Ellis Simms on the other hand: Everton 12 games 1 goal, Blackpool 21 games 8 goals, Hearts 17 games 5 goals, Sunderland 17 games 7 goals.

Yep, the better you place in the table, the more your cast offs are perceived to be worth
 

To those moaning about the fee - it’s difficult to demand top dollar for a striker when we put a centre back up front against wolves when a goal was needed and left him on the bench.
The Dixie Dean statue is more mobile. Thats perhaps a problem when you have to play premier league football…
 

Another crab got rid of. Incomings hopefully in a few days from now, otherwise some of the GOT natives will be unable to contain their emotions.
 
I don’t think we are in a position to complain about the fee we got for Simms, we rated him and treated him like a nonentity, while he was part of our first team squad he was given ver little match time, we are a team who can’t score goals and he couldn’t get a game for us, we were negotiating from a very weak position. Personally I hope the lad does well at Coventry, I hope he scores lots of goals and gets them promoted. On the face of it we are now doing the right things, we are clearing the decks, we are getting rid of players who we don’t think have a future at the club, we will make a mistake or two and move on players who will come good, we are Everton after all. Get rid of a few more, which will be difficult. Then the hard work starts, getting in replacements, we won’t be tested on who we let go but we will be tested on who we bring in.
