Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms (17 Viewers)

Id eat her shit

When we went to see Jimmy Carr, he told a story about someone asking him just how good looking Rachel Riley was and he said that he'd 'crawl on his hands and knees over broken glass, to suck the cock of the last man who fucked her'

Simms is a unit that can score, hold the ball up and take defenders away like Vik

Yates the opposite, small, fast, can play off the shoulder

Having them 2 up front being fed by Ohare or Palmer would be a delight

You’ve convinced me. Yates it is.

Miles Leaburn a name that’s just cropped up but he’s only 19 so would be one with the future in mind, you need them too, but at 6ft 5in. and built accordingly perhaps worth a punt as a fourth striker, of the names linked Jerry Yates appeals to me the most but will cost a fee.

Yeah Cus I mentioned him in the other thread that’s why it’s cropped up Nostradamus

 

[SkyblueDad]

In Robins I trust….but this guy Simms has a lot to live up to. Not sure what he’s used to but playing for Coventry in our usual set up he is going to have to work his arse off and be ultra fit like Vik.

I agree replacing Vik is a big ask, we may have to tweek our game a bit probably depending who else we get.

I was having a quick look at what Simms stats look like compared to Gyokeres, in the Championship last season. By the looks of it Simms is your more traditional forward, playing through the middle, whilst we know Gyokeres liked to drift out wide left. I guess different styles overall.

Here we have Gyokeres's numbers:

Goal every 191 minutes (3 penalties).
Assist every 402 minutes.

Here we have Simms numbers:

Goal every 162 minutes.
Assist every 566 minutes.

Gyokeres took 2.9 shots per game.
Simms took 1.9 shots per game.

Simms had a slightly higher accuracy rate at 4 shots per goal scored, whilst Gyokeres was at 4.38.

Simms was much less involved in the actual creation of goals, with 0.9 key passes per game, and 0.4 dribbles. Gyokeres had 1.9 and 2.1. It was mostly down to Gyokeres and Hamer to create chances last season, especially whilst O'hare was out, whilst Simms had others around him to create chances.

Coventry had 21.78 shot creating actions per game last season, whilst Sunderland had 21.65. Very similar number of chances created per team, but a lot of those will have come from Gyokeres for Coventry.

Obviously much more difficult to maintain a high level of performance across a 46 match season. I think Simms will struggle if expected to slot into the Gyokeres role. Coventry are going to have to find someone in the 10 role to create chances along with Hamer, whether that's Palmer or someone else. I think at Sunderland Simms would have been a 15+ goal forward for the season, and his value would now be at least double.

Simms' goal against Chelsea was quite Gyokeres-esq, think he could be a similar type of player and could play the lone striker role well.

Not as quick though, but probably better in the air.

It would never be as bad as a Bellamy Keane scenario

I think we are going to have to switch it up and bring creative players back in. Probably play Hamer further up the pitch until COH is back/Palmer is fit. If Simms can get in the right gaps Hamer will find him!

Think Simms plays better as a 2

Championship fans getting a little ruffled by us signing Simms.

‘he’s an ok player at this level but never worth £8m’

Just been visiting the Scumberland forum , a few weeks back they thought Simms was the best thing since sliced bread and wanted him to sign . Now he’s a lazy shit and not worth the money . I love their forum , thick Geordie wannabes

Yup saw some of their fans say he doesn’t work hard, poor first touch, can’t hold up play, can’t header the ball…

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Honestly think 4/5 of those things will happen next week/today.

As for your other prediction/dream/hope re Michelle Keegan, I’m not so sure!

Odds on

Sunderland have a weird bunch of fans. There's literally no set of fans I don't like, because I couldn't really care less about any other club, but Sunderland fans have really worn me down with their constant barrage of unwarranted abuse.

As a defender? assume you mean with 2 up top?

 

[napolimp]

I think they meant as a clone, like 2 Simms up front.

Sorry, I meant a 4 @stgeorge1966

Whittaker up front with him would be dreamy

We can't replace vik and what he brought to the team. I'm worried fans will expect it from simms and get onto him early doors

To be honest the expectation is warranted some what being our most expensive signing ever

 

[SBT]

I bet Andy Turner is reading all this and creaming his pants as he cooks up the incredible headline for tomorrow's telegraph "Simms City" if he's not already thought of it , then your welcome Andy

 

[Skybluedownunder]

I dont see the fuss about Whittaler. Stats arent great for a striker, is he a 10? If so makes sense

But i really want Yates now, him and Simms compliment each other perfectly

Gyokeres took 2.9 shots per game.
Simms took 1.9 shots per game.

and at least one of those should have been a pass

Whittaker can play 10 and centre forward which is why I’d like him

can’t see us getting Yates and Simms

 

[Winny the Bish]

Miles Leaburn a name that’s just cropped up but he’s only 19 so would be one with the future in mind, you need them too, but at 6ft 5in. and built accordingly perhaps worth a punt as a fourth striker, of the names linked Jerry Yates appeals to me the most but will cost a fee.

Leaburn and Simms are too similar. Would rather someone like Yates who has more pace and never stops running.

I like Yates, but you know what you’re getting , an average/good championship striker

Let’s take a punt on a European player and turn him into a gem who’s ceiling is so so much higher than Yates

I think we all get these for the first home game:

That’s class!! Just needs a couple of extra lines and it’s good to go. Says the bloke in block 1 who hasn’t started a song since 1991

I’m intrigued… what was the song in 1991

Better than Harry Kane

[Macca1987]

Still not wanting to think this is happening until I actually see Simms at Ryton.
This place would go into meltdown if at the last minute it was a no go

 

[Grendel]

Simms has turned us down. The contract includes the clause the beard has to go - if Sheeran can do it anyone else can

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Whilst the fee is large, if it's broken down into £3-4m upfront and the rest as extras, that's decent.

My hope is that the expectation doesn't eff him up. As long as he doesn't follow the Freddy Eastwood path and takes the Viktor path, I'll be happy.

I went to that show Think it was the same one where he ended it by saying he was raising money for abused children….to buy their silence
