Everton want players like Simms off their wage bill and a bit of loot in the bank.
We need better than him to replace Gyokeres should he leave.

Like who? He scored 7 goals in less than half a season in our division. Not sure who you think we can afford with a better strike record but ill wait

Expecting one player to 'replace' Vik is the wrong way to look at it. He's unique; that's why he's worth what he is.

Simms sounds good enough for 15 goals in this league. That'll do. Need two strikers on 10+. Simms would be one.

We’ll never get a player like for vik, that idea is totally unrealistic. I’d imagine robins will aim to split the goals accross 2/3 strikers this time.

Think you’re expecting too much

he’s a good player at this level

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Simms is fine as a signing but valuing him at £4 million is excessive to me, is he really worth 3x what we paid for Gyokeres for two years ago?

Agree - if we expect to replace Vik with another CF of a similar level, then we're being extremely optimistic. However, I'm very hopeful that with the quality of our coaching staff that any players who are recruited will improve during their time here.
The coaching staff may adjust some elements of the way we play to reflect the strengths of new players.

Selling the legend Gibbo and getting a half cut Brazil in the dealt. I have never recovered

You made a typo... fixed free of charge

 

[San Francisco]

If we were to sign both Yates and Simms I’d be happy with that. I’d trust the coaching staff to get the best out of them and I’m confident the quality of our midfield should we keep Hamer would see us score consistently.

A goal every 162 minutes at this level suggests maybe he is when you consider Vics return rate in the championship prior to us buying him

A very small sample size you are taking that from, Gyokeres was also a full international and had a good youth record and had scored goals in Sweden previously.

Simms would be a good signing but i think £4 million is a massive over valuation for him, £1.5 million would a fair price

 

[Alkhen]

What is Simms contact situation like? If he has a far amount of time left wouldn't Everton be wiser to loan him out for a season and see how he goes.

Year left I think

Reckon it’ll be Simms or Yates at around £4m as the Vik replacement. Then a couple of £0.5-1.5m signings and some frees and loans.

Simms + £17mil and Yates?

That’s a stretch. Simms is comfortably £3.5-4m in my opinion. Decent scoring records at both Blackpool (L1 at the time) and Sunderland. Time on his side.

Well definitely need a couple of strikers and good ones usually cost a bit so I wouldn't be surprised to see us stick a big chunk of our budget up front.

Keep Hamer, get a couple of good strikers, McNally, a RWB, then the rest loans…+ the two lads from Stevenage…

Agree. Well worth the fee and will become a big asset. Would rather Simms than Yates.

One of them lads from Stevenage has re signed with them

Ok. Tom O’Connor instead.

 

[long way home]

Both lads signed extensions at Stevenage

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Ipswich made a good signing in Taylor

 

[Matt smith]

No thanks, probably massively overpriced

 

[Matt smith]

You mean Jack Taylor

yeah great signing

he’s no Ben sheaf though

 

[CovLad94]

Tom McIntyre from Reading, Two championship clubs looking at him as well as Scottish teams, going off the fact we need about 3/4 CBs we've surely got to be interested, wouldn't cost alot either and a solid enough player.

I really hope we sign a top right wing back with express pace

this is a key key signing in my opinion

Fair point, the sample is small but Simms also has done reasonably well wherever he has played. No international record to speak of but the quality of players that are eligible for England are a world apart. 3-4 mil would be a fairly low risk investment IMO.

 

[Perryccfc]

Simms just doesn’t excite me. Everything I’ve seen of him is cumbersome and just not pleasing on the eye. I’d be pleased with Yates.

 

[San Francisco]

We need permanent CBs ideally. As far as RWBs go I think Max Johnston is definitely worth a look at.

I think most would have described Gyokeres as cumbersome two seasons ago based on his spell at Swansea & half a season here.

He's 4 years younger than Yates and scored 7 in 17 appearances in this league last season. I don't think we could get many better on paper than him.

Skinned Koulibaly who was Serie A best CB relatively recently so can’t be that bad!

 

[skyblue025]

Depending what percentage of the fee Brighton are due to get, I'd rate Simms at around 15 million if he was the make weight in the Vik deal.

Has,gyokeres played in the Premier league though? Simms started on his own up front at old trafford

 

[Saddlebrains]

Joel Latibeaudiere from Swansea almost done, RWB

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Joel Latibeaudiere from Swansea almost done, RWB

Would be a solid signing, if true. He can also play CB.

Good news. Any other whispers Saddlebrains?
