[Evo1883]

Goals win you promotion…..

They do ..

Simms scored in 9 matches last season and hasn't scored in 3 this season .

Goals win you promotion…..

A quality midfield creates goal scoring opportunities.....

 

[ccfcricoh]

Goals win you promotion…..

or get you relegated, depending which net they go in

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Thank you for such a levelled and balanced post .
I would also add we would still have Andrews and Dausch to use in the short term . Both have been said to have a big future so who knows

Very good point PL!

 

[Elliott_Cov]

Japanese signing incoming?

Justin Gunstalk incoming

 

[SleepyGinger]

Well billing is a Premier league footballer that would transform our midfield playing alongside sheaf .

We'd become a very strong candidate for top 6 immediately

Simms is 23 off a 19 goal season and improving rapidly, he’s worth a lot more than Billing bournmouth are doing there best to offload. People have gone mad…

 

[Nick]

Just thought to ask are we allowed to complete free transfers after today. Just thinking about the cm from Bordeaux

Isnt it only if they are made free agents before the window ends?

See that just reads as stop worrying about the squad rather than an incoming.

 

[Hobo]

He spent 6 million on 2 centre halves that now sit on the bench to be fair

No they are squad players like everyone else. Why do fans think just because we sign someone they are now the go to guaranteed starter?

 

[Diogenes]

See that just reads as stop worrying about the squad rather than an incoming.

His tweets today read like there's noone coming in

 

[SleepyGinger]

Lack of depth and a terrible start is what stopped us getting play offs last year, not the midfield. People are massively over reacting

I think we need to be more honest about the 19 goal season .

13 in the league which is fair , but in just 9 matches ,3 already this season without a goal he just doesn't strike me as an out and out goalscorer .
He's scored 13 in 49 league matches which is almost 1 in 4 and in 9 league games , so 40 league games without a goal , that's almost 80% of matches he's not scored in

Wright is the better goalscorer

I quite like simms tbh , but I'd rather sign billing plus cash .. billing must be worth 15 mill plus

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Very true, jury is still out on whether they are worth the outlay IMO.

 

[Tommo1993]

If KP is going with no midfielder incoming, then yeah, that’s bad business and the disappointment from fans would finally be justified.

 

[ptr]

Midfielder on loan to allow Palmer to leave.

It’s the hope that kills you

Andrews and Dausch

The whole Bordeaux squad have been released

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

Bordeaux have seriously dropped their bollux

 

[SkyBlueGuy]

7pm

@coventrycity Kasey Palmer’s departure confirms the end of our business this transfer window. On to Norwich. #PUSB

Me: Heads straight to the nearest bridge

Too early

This year, it's lack of depth in midfield and RB that could (with no reinforcement) means we miss out again. Still hanging to the hope they wouldn't be stupid enough to let Palmer go if we didn't have someone coming in.

 

[Matt smith]

Midfielder on loan to allow Palmer to leave.

This actually legit?

 

[Chris1987]

Now you know how I feel having come up against so much stick for simply raising questions, not even always giving answers, just simply amusing some thoughts

But you have to admit it is sometimes mixed in with fanciful stuff which obviously will not happen

 

[skybluecam]

If we had bids at the start of the window and got say around £15 mil for Sheaf I’d probably take it and reinvest in midfield, problem is it’s too late now, can’t see much happening this late on.

Sheaf’s great but I think he’s more replaceable than Hamer and the issue atm is we haven’t got much cash to invest in the midfield. Buy 3 decent players with the £12m-£15m and we’d be set. We’ll probably end up starting most games without Sheaf at this rate anyway

Well presumably money isn’t an issue otherwise spunking it on BTA and Bassette is a massive error.

 

[Skyblue_CP]

If the Simms swap deal for Billing + cash is true, I’d be seriously considering it.. We have Haji, BTA and Bassette for the CF position, it would free up EMC to play on his preferred left hand side and a midfield 3 of Billing, Sheaf and Rudoni would dominate almost every team in this league.

Dovin
MVE Thomas Binks Bidwell
Billing Sheaf Rudoni
Tats Wright EMC

Wins a lot of football matches.

Yeah buying players in other areas of weakness is such a shit business model isn't it ?

 

[skybluecam]

If the Simms swap deal for Billing + cash is true,

It’s not fucking true ffs, Billing would never come here and Bournemouth just spent 40 mil on a striker. The inability to use basic logic on here sometimes does my head in

 

[SkyB]

£8mill+Billing gives us a better chance of promotion than Simms IMO.

Scoring goals isn’t an issue for us at the moment.

The problem is that Billing's wage demands are way way out of our league, it's a non starter on that basis

 

[SkyBlueGuy]

Too early

Sure this means we have at least one incoming?!

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Unnecessary hostility does my head in on here, something of which you’re a prime candidate for.
