Dominic Calvert-Lewin is not going to stay fit for half a season, be lucky to get 10 games out of him, if that... This is the reason we are here now because they were banking on his fitness...

Does it need to be a top striker just better than what we have (No-one), plenty of decent ones in Germany, France, Portugal etc, they are the cheaper markets.

For me I don`t know why hasn`t used Maupay in the 10 this season, think he would be more suited to that than the number 9.

I agree with the positioning of Maupay but we haven't had a 9 to call upon.

Well from reports we were heavily linked with him but you shoot the messenger and miss the point we could have got a forward who suited the profile not Maupay.

We might have, personal terms, Transfer fee etc.. Not sure if you know this, you watch that fantasy You Tube channel so you might not but you don't just go to a player and say ok here is the money, now sign this. You have to go through an agent etc.. Who normally hold you to ransom if they know you are looking for a striker. Makes perfect sense to walk away.

Seems to be a lot panicking over the Simms recall. It seems logical to me as he effectively replaces Rondon in the squad and allows Cannon to go on loan.

They are probably looking at Gyokeres being touted at 20 million and seeing that we have a guy scoring goals in the same league at a similar rate, and we can get him back for free instead. Or, if Gyokeres is the guy we want, we can use Simms as part of that deal and offer Coventry an oven ready replacement.

Simms can’t be the limit of the business but he buys us time and options. It’s sensible to recall.

I don’t have an issue with recalling him just the message it sends which is we are desperate as we have timed his recall now. This is the inference being drawn by a lot of people on here and this is how it is being characterised by the media. If I am another PL club and Everton come knocking, I add a another premium on top of the January premium as a negotiating tactic or I just do not loan or sell at all (although to be fair our position in the league would show we are desperate.

Point remains we had chances to buy a target man now we are recalling Ellis Simms

I'm pretty sure the cleaner at some Latvian 4th division club knows we're desperate for a striker. Anyone who doesn't know hasn't really been paying much attention to how utterly poor we've been this season.
