Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms (37 Viewers)

[Evo1883]

I’m seeing the fee is £6m that could rise to £8m.

I'd imagine most of the extra add ons will be tied to a promotion

Is it time to rewrite the song …..?
We have big Simms on our side

And he only cost 8m million.

 

[no_loyalty]

I still can’t believe my eyes that Coventry City have paid a deal worth upto 8m

Yes, but don’t you know we are fooking massive?

Some posters conspicuous by their absence tonight....

 

[Hoofhearted]

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

This could be one hell of a signing for us, especially if we could get Whittaker as well, I wouldn't mind us having a look at Aaron Collins from Bristol Rovers, far to good for that league.

Can't think who you mean...

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Worth mentioning that this is all coming from the Everton end and it’s within their interest for the fee to be reported as high as possible. I’m sure it won’t be £8m upfront.

Yeah I reckon 4 or 5 mil plus addons.

Which is still a hefty chunk of course

Been told it’s £5m, the other £3m is bonuses like the club getting promoted, Simms playing for England and him being league top scorer.

He’s not Brazilian,
He only cost us eight million,
We think he’s fucking brilliant,
Ellis Simms.

 

[Evo1883]

Robins viveash and Lawrence will make us another 20 million pound player

 

[bigfatronssba]

We can look at it another way and say we've put the money in to buy a player wanted by Ipswich sunderland and Swansea

And not ponced about with it like Sporting Lisbon

Been told by a source or read it on twitter it heard it in the pub?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I do think it’s a bit of an overpay for us, and the lad is going to have some heavy expectations on his shoulders, but we’ve got to back the management team to work the same magic they did with Gyokeres. Fingers crossed we’ll look back in 3 years time and it’ll have been worth it.

 

[hill83]

He’s be spotted down Hearsall Common doing laps. Where the fair sets up opposite the Farmhouse.

@Evo1883 can you confirm please

Think Gimoc is a bit busy at the moment, chauffeur driving Simms down the M6 to Ryton.

Yes look at what they did with Gyokeres, Simms is ahead of him in development than Vik was when he joined

Not saying Simms is going to be better, but I'm confident he can score a lot of goals for us

 

[clint van damme]

Flex that ITK status Clint!

All I know is that the club met with several agents last week, the only player I know whose representative was there was Simms.

I'd imagine those agents in turn spoke to lots of clubs.
Nothing groundbreaking there really, it's only news if you'd somehow convinced yourself we weren't signing anyone, which is a mental outlook.

We’ve got a big simms on our side,
Cost £8 million from Merseyside,
Scoring goals is what he does best,
And he fights for the badge on his chest!

 

[thejinkingSakamoto]

Hopefully it is a fee that’s structured around the goals he scores and/or a promotion.

Either way, it’s just great to think we’re dining at the top tables again. Both in terms of selling players for big money and slapping down sizeable offers for our first choice replacement to blow away the competition.

Big statement made. A gamble, but one worth taking when young English strikers are understandably at a premium. If it works, we’re tripling or quadrupling our investment.

That extra money from Sporting Lisbon will have paid a decent chunk of the fee too. Well done to the executive and management for finally acting like the big club we are.

 

[lordy_87]

Striking options of Simms, Godden, Yates and a loan supported by O'hare, Palmer, Hamer and Whittaker. League wrapped up by March.

100 points 100 goals coventry city

Problem is though you have to spend more to beat the competition .. it's also nice to be able to spend big for a change , be nice to lose the pity tag we've carried for so long

He's busy working out how you leave a WhatsApp group

 

[Winny the Bish]

My friend works at his agency.

“We’ve got a big Manc on our side”

My friend works at his agency.

Straight to the point

I’m taking this as my squad from earlier in the thread confirmed. Cheers ClInTK

Also we've just got 20 million for a 25 year old and bought a 22 year old with huge potential.
And it will piss those daft Mackems off ,so win win

 

[Greggs]

wants 30 grand a week apparently

 

[Ccfcisparks]

No its £25k a week and a corporate box.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

8 million. Jesus. That's a hell of a change in direction for the club. But then a relatively young English striker. If he scores at the same rate as last year. He'll be worth a fortune.

I agree if its £8M...then not many clubs even the ones with parachute will splashing those sorts of fees this year! It's one heck of a statement.....if it materislises

 

[Skybluedownunder]

If we got Tom Cannon as well as Simms… that would be an unreal result!
