Summer transfer window 2023

[BainesontoastNEW]

Ipswich Town have submitted a £3.5million bid for Everton striker Ellis Simms, reports claim.​

The 22-year-old striker is facing a contested summer at Goodison Park. He was recalled by the Toffees from a positive loan spell at Sunderland early last season, in which he scored seven in 16 Championship outings for the Black Cats.

He’d go on to play a bit part role for Sean Dyche’s side who sealed Premier League survival on the final day of the season, but reports have since suggested that Simms could be on the move this summer with Sunderland said to be keen on a return.

A Simms bidding war is exactly what my body needs.

Just an amuse bouche before the Branthwaite, Onana and Pickford wars

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

This guy was first with all the Onana stuff when we bought him so probably something in this:

Worrying that. I have suspected all along that he would be the one to go, but surely we need to push for more than £55m? Particularly as we owe Lille 20-30% sell-on fee don't we?!

Doubt it would go past £5m tbh. For the ammount quoted, I'd rather keep him and give him another season with better players around him

Those deals are usually % of the profit made. That £55m would allow us to reinvest in the squad and bring in 3-4 good players. No guarantees we do that though, in fairness.

Would it be cheeky to ask for scamacca on loan with an option to buy?

That’s the worry given we sold Richarlison and Maupay arrives for example

Would have him but doesn't seem a Dyche type player

Going to Roma I think.

….surely you’ve seen enough of him. If he’s involved next season we’re in trouble.

20-30% of profit…so 4-6 mil at that fee - roughly

Well we need to invest in some proper young talent. If we do that, we can 'flip' one next summer and keep.hold of the rest, same again the summer after.

It allows you to build whilst also being sustainable through player trading.

However, this is Everton x Sean Dyche, so it will no doubt be overpriced, aged journeymen.

To be fair we sold richy and bought Maupay and McNeil with money left over.

Not as bad then, but still need to drive the price up. The way Chelsea throw the cash about, I would be upset if we accepted less than £65m.
