Simms is barely even proven at championship level, it's not even comparable to the best player to have ever lived.

None of us know what he was offered, none of us know what other clubs are saying to him, and none of us know what's going on in his head. Grown men on here blaming the club, the player, the agent or whatever else when in reality we have absolutely no idea what's happening. The club know his worth to us and will have made him an offer accordingly, we'll wait and see but at 26 it's understandable if he'd like to play at a higher level. The club's well run and I'm sure they'll be a contingency plan in place if he leaves. Everyone calm down and let's get excited for Leicester + more incoming transfers! Pusb

None of us have got access to the information you'd need to decide that, and I don't see why our random guesses matter at all
It gives an insight into what lengths people think the club should go to in order to retain one player. Rather than wages per week, think of it per year instead. How much is too much?

While that is factually correct, it isn’t by any means the only potential outcome.
His circumstances, hopes and ambitions could all significantly change in that time, like if he inspired us to a brilliant promotion for instance, would he be able to turn down a new contract ‘and with it the chance to lead this club into the Premier League, I’m sure in those circumstances the club would be happy to meet his ‘much higher’ wage demands.
And if the above happened and he then decided to leave for nothing, you would have to say it worked out well for both club and player.
It's a possibility. However - If we ended up 10th he would leave for free and we wouldn't be as attractive a prospect for people coming in (and we wouldn't have any additional cash to buy). Not saying that's going to happen but it's all a gamble isn't it?

Im not sure that’s true, but should we be signing players with no higher ceiling with our intended model?
It is true really. Ellis Simms would surely say to the club that if you're willing to offer £8m for me you need to back that up with a proper salary offer. He's not coming for 10K a week is he?

What’s he done to deserve £25k/week?

And at the moment he’s worth £3.5m not £8m.

Easy to be brave when it’s not your money. Football is awash with clubs in trouble because they were “brave” “very ambitious” “ rolled the dice”….

I’d love Hamer to stay but I’ve really enjoyed Coventry starting to build a decent squad again this window. Vik’s sale has been a game changer. Mismanaging Hamers situation undermines all of that.
Vic’s sale was indeed a game changer and yes it’s bankrolled an overhaul of the team, hopefully it also means that Hamer doesn’t need to be sold to balance the books.
Look, if we can get £15m + then fair enough ‘we should probably take it.
But if it’s less £10m and we had assurances he would give everything to the club, I honestly think it’s a worthwhile gamble.

No one has said he’s on that but again he’s a striker who is young and could be worth a lot more in two years. There’s little risk in the signing

From our point of view quite possibly. From his, there were a number of clubs after him and why wouldn't he want his salary to reflect that?

🤷🏻‍♂️ You could justify any salary like that. Personally I wouldn’t hand a player with less than half a season of a Championship football under his belt that kind of money, at least not if it was the most were willing to offer.

Strangely it’s how the industry works

What I don't understand is why we were happy to pay Waghorn 30 grand a week but feel that Gus isn't worth the same?!
Gus is worth more imho, the rest on here can fuck off if they dont like it.

Also by that logic hamer will attract little premiership interest having no experience at that level

It's more that you wouldn't expect Hamer to go to a Premier League club and be amongst the highest earners straight away.

He would be on the lower end of salary for a first team Premier League player to reflect his lack of experience in the league, still be a lot more than he would be on as a top earner here.

Apparently the club have rejected bids from premier league clubs, so someone rates him.

Cremation for me, pal. No worm, flesh-eating.

A jam jar will do just fine.
I'll leave the pistol at home then, and bring my flame-thrower. In the unlikely event you catch me with a jammy shot, please respect my wish to be buried in the garden with my faithful hound. Not the current one, mind, he wouldn't appreciate that. His predecessor.

It’s dragging way too much now. To the point it’s overshadowing what has been a positive few weeks transfer wise.

Thankfully not on Twitter / barely look at Facebook, but I can imagine this topic is taking over and negatively is creeping out.

If he’s going he needs to go. However I’ll think he’ll be here for the season.
