Summer transfer window 2023

[Blue peter]

First half of this season he was on loan in the champo with Sunderland

honestly my memory is fooked

 

[Captain Bligh]

I'd still take Kevin Phillips tbh mate!

Having seen how demotivated Delph was when he made the same move - I think I’d pass on this one too

 

[blulouie]

guessing we’ve signed loads of players with the amount of pages in here today? Who we get in?

Rondon

 

[billyblue80]

We would surely not let simms go if we didn't have atleast two strikers coming in...

Right lads?


Lads?.

We don't do strikers at Everton

Has to be said selling Simms to buy Gyokeres for 4 times the price despite the latter having a lower G+A per 90 in the same league while being 3 years older would be quite the Everton transfer window

I don't think he's coming here sadly

 

[TheBigIguana]

When talking about the same league are your referring to League 1? Simms hasn’t been on loan in the Championship yet has he?

Sunderland were in the championship last year

 

[Nightman]

Broja and Gallagher on loan from Chelsea. Henderson from Utd + cash for Pickford and Onana sales allows us to look at another ST, LB, CB & RW.

I wouldn't say sadly. If we're not giving Simms a shot I kinda doubt another championship striker is going to satisfy at the minute.

Have you considered that maybe Simms isnt very good and this Groky is?

I mean you seem to be assuming hes not better.

Its almost like 2 different players have different ability, how mads that?

I've certainly considered that the eye test folks have already decided Gyokeres is way better because that's what they want it to be.

But my feeling is neither is probably all that good and we'd be much better served trying the one we have already than paying extra for the privilege of a different low percentage dice roll.

I have no idea which 1 is better.

I know that Simms was brought back and not deemed good enough for us, for whatever reason.

Is Groky? Who knows.

All circumstance right? Simms doesn't have to play. He's an academy lad and whether we sell or keep him it's a success. But buying someone for 15m? That guy has to have a chance to work out. So one way or another Gyokeres would hypothetically show us what he is or isn't while Simms can just not be given the chance and loads aren't even slightly bothered.

Genuine question here, forget the Chelsea goal, what in Simms’ appearances (bearing in mind you only see snippets watching on TV rather than the whole pitch in person) makes you think it’s sensible to keep him?

It's fake mate, just like the previous Tom Davies to Norwich rumours.

There were other flashes of him understanding how to find space in the box and get shots away. I mean at least above what the other players in that spot showed. If we had real options it would be an easy choice to sell but people are talking about needing two strikers after we sell him.

I actually thought he did reasonably well against United. I'd prefer he scored the chance but strikers miss sometimes and the way you even it out is by getting on the end of other chances. You can't do that from the bench.
