Nar he's to slow for the top level.
Mitrovic ain't quick, neither is Pukki for example.. Neither was Sheringham, Crouch, Dzeko, Carroll etc. There have been a whole host of effective PL strikers who weren't particularly quick...

Its about playing to the strengths of an individual. But if they are in the right place at the right time and can finish, that it all that matters...

Not to forget the king of walking football Berbatov
 
Can we put to bed the Simms chat. Got a season ticket at Hearts, watched him every game he played. He was miles off a premier league forward. He looked like a decent SPL striker, didn’t stand out as being too good for that level. We’ve replaced him with Lawrence Shankland and he’s looking better than Simms. Better first touch, better hold up and he’d never get near a premier league team.

Big gaps in his game, loan to a championship club is right. Nowhere near ready to be leading the line even as our back up option. We’d destroy the kid putting him in our team at the moment.
 
What ever is happening re Gordon. We need a forward that's more urgent for me. Also it shouldn't affect our targets as such we have a list and will have been exploring options for weeks
The Gordon situation will 100% be affecting incoming business . They’ll have an A list and a B list of cheaper lower quality. They can’t really move until they know whether they’re armed with the Gordon cash or not. We clearly can only afford a player from list B at present, but there’s no point getting a striker from that list if Gordon is then sold and we could have went for a much better player from list A.

This Gordon issue needs resolving ASAP.
 

Interesting situation with our DOF Kevin, selling AG or keeping him will eventually mean 2 different scenarios when it comes to our own recruitment, if we are going to sell him, it should be done fast (this week), if we are not going to sell him, it should be clear this week too, we can not afford to drag this till the last few days of the window and end up throwing bids right and left to get replacements

….the point folk are making about Simms is he’d still be a better option than Rondon. Simms gets to that ball that came off the goalie at Villa & scores.

I’m massively torn on this situation tbh, there’s no doubt the lad has potential but he’s far from the assured to succeed at the top level. If we sell it suggests that we are still unable to nurture home from talent for ourselves and if we keep him then we can’t get what we really want in. It kind of sums up supporting Everton since 87! lol Never quite what you hoped!
