Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms (31 Viewers)

[hill83]

Mentioned in his interview that he's off to Portugal tomorrow.

They obviously have not told him about the last minute cancellation yet.

Still need to make sure there’s no chemtrails before the flight

He's not smiling in the Official photo, which I'll take to be a good sign based on how Sheaf has worked out.

 

[Hutch11]

He also states in the interview that there's new signings coming,he must've been sold on the club by telling him who else is coming , real great times ahead

 

[Fysnkysc]

Any idea who these lads are?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Sunderland fans are so salty aren’t they.

 

[djr8369]

Need a few more now. I wonder who is next in…

 

[lord_garrincha]

We won't receive the full 20m for a while I'd imagine.

This is true...

Doug's hardball has resulted in us getting £25 mil upfront, and we pay £5mil back when/if we feel like it.

 

[Gint11]

Buzzing!! What a signing this is.

Keep em coming.

 

[theferret]

So what, it still allows us to buy more players knowing that funds are on their way

That wasn't the point. There are people on twitter already declaring we got a bargain at 3.5m. I guarantee there will be people who think we made 16.5m profit and will be asking where the money went in a month or two.

29 celcius today and the man is in a thick black jumper 🌡

Funking well hard!

 

[lord_garrincha]

What I like about our dealings is that we have forensically researched him, in terms of his character and what his parents do.




Dad is a glazier... funny that!

 

[Chris1987]

Very excited by this signing , statement of intent which hopefully will be backed up by others PUSB

These pictures look so bad Jesus Christ @Doug please hire someone who know how to adjust the settings on a camera

 

[Londonccfcfan]

How long is his contract...assuming 4 years?

The crazy thing is a phone would do a better job.

Bill Glazier? ££££

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

the backing song to that announcement is a group called Little Simz. Haven’t missed a trick

Don't get it.

He's quite big.

 

[CovLad94]

He reiterated that there'll be plenty of signings to come in or thats how it came across, another good sign

Must have ice in his veins

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Like the structure of the deal !

Me too. Hope we've been using it for other potential signings. McNally for one, and given the supposed asking price for Sanderson I'd be tempted to put a bid in there too.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

The crazy thing is a phone would do a better job.

Yeah it’s genuinely impressive how bad they’ve got that first one looking.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Did you notice that nice new club crest in the Simms video.

 

[Pusb1]

That’s crazy for a player like Simms. No wonder most teams can’t compete. Teams with loaded owners just outspend on mediocre talent.

delete!

 

[Pusb1]

£7m is crazy for Simms at this point in his development.

He has potential but his first touch is poor, he doesn’t have a trick, he is moderately pacey but the bcan finish ….

Everton couldn’t buy a goal last season and Dyche likes a target man but still started Gray ( a winger ) ahead of him.

 

[skyblue025]

Ellis Simms is the best,
Better than Gyokeres,
Better than anyone,
Anyone iv'e ever met,
Ellis Simms is the best......

I'll get my coat.

 

[mmttww]

Three things stand out from the interview:

1. Talk of a 'project' and signings
2. Refers to MR 'teaching him some things'
3. Talks a lot about starting each week

Seems smart enough to see the platform we can be for someone like him and he just wants games to prove himself. If he f*cks off for a Vik-style profit in a year or two, sound. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Finham]

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.

This would be more of a layby than a path, I suppose?

Doug is such a good business man he's getting that window fixed as part of the deal!

[SkyblueDad]

Be interesting to see what type of strikers Robins goes for to partner Simms obviously got Godden but with Waghorn and Walker gone imo we need two more.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Kick on!

We should thank Sunderland for the highlight reel!

Good interview - seems like he’s absolutely got his head screwed on.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Good lad. Like the interview. Will be a fans favourite for sure.

Now… this signing has just scared the shit out other top 6 contenders. It’s a signal to other potential signings that Coventry is the place to be.

 

[Great_Expectations]

I bloody love football.
