I’d like to think we wouldn’t cash in this summer but Viveash has mentioned they still see Haji as a number 9 and with EMC signing…

We're going 4-2-4! Saka and EMC on the wings, Wright and Simms in the middle!

If he scores 20-25 league goals next season he will be commanding a fee of around £25 million, would be very short sighted to sell him.

 

[Grendel]

I mean Brentford seemed to manage tbh.

Brentford had an owner who handed them £100m to get promotion.

 

[Sick Boy]

Brentford had an owner who handed them £100m to get promotion.

The idea that we’re somehow following the Brighton and Brentford model is just ridiculous.

 

[pusbccfc]

Theoretically, we do sell Simms and Sheaf for £25m. We would be in a far better place than when we sold Hamer and Gyokeres... Surely?

 

[biggymania]

Sheaf I think is at the top of his valuation with us, the same isn't true for Simms in my opinion. He still has further to grow & develop and has 4 years left on his deal.

It would be shooting ourselves in the foot to sell Simms unless the offer was really crazy.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Wouldn't be worried if we lost Simms either.

He's been immense since Jan and will be immense next year but we would need an absurd offer to move him with 3 years on his deal and the English tax that we could easily break our record fee to replace him.

I don't think he'll go anyway. Might be agent stirring for a new deal.

 

[fatso]

I think it was being dropped, getting a few odd mins here and there that killed his confidence ….

He got dropped because he was absolute fucking dog shit for ages!

Amazing how peoples perception changes when a player finally shows an improvement in work rate and effort, and its amazing how his form improved once he pulled his head out of his arse.

Credit where its due, he finally showed what he's capable of, it's just a pity it took so long.

 

[MrBlueFace]

Whispers coming from the club that he's attracting a lot of interest and isn't against a quick move back to the PL or another higher level league.

Oh dear. It was obvious he should have been playing over Godden who is now absolutely done at Championship level. Fair play to Simms for ramming the words back down the doubters throats.

Not advocating selling him but we built a whole team with 35 million last summer, if we got similar for sheaf and Simms I’d like to see the squad we could put together.

Bloke behind me doesn’t know what to do anymore now he can’t shout abuse at Wright and Simms…the bellend

Yep they've both completely embarrassed quite a few

You’d have to replace two pretty important players once again. What we’re doing in practice gives us 2 seasons to go up before we need to sell and rebuild.

We need to think more about next summer’s window, let alone this one. For me that means successors for Simms and MVE in particular and quite possibly even Sakamoto. Let’s make it easier for ourselves.

You can't blame him for that , however I think it's better for him to show if he can score as many next season then look at moving if the club agrees.

 

[PVA]

I really don't see anyone paying the ~£15m it would need to get him.

 

[MrBlueFace]

I really don't see anyone paying the ~£15m it would need to get him.

We said that about Gyokores 18 months ago. We ended selling him for 20m and now he's worth 100m.

I was just going to make that point.

Loads and loads of over priced players from league one?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It wouldn’t be daft for Everton to bid for him with the in built discount they’d get and him being a home grown player. Plus they’re always partial to a stupidly inflated fee or two.

i wonder who this is...

Simms has 3 years left on his contract

You’re not in Block 23 are you…
The lad (moron) was bit over the top with the f’ing and hefting last night as his dad wasn’t there to keep him in line and everyone including Simms and Wright targeted again!

 

[MrBlueFace]

So is worth roughly 10-15 million currently?

 

[TomRad85]

Again if you can sell really high you kind of have to but it starts to become a worryingly high turnover of players again.

Or any model at all really

 

[fernandopartridge]

Simms has had a good run of goalscoring form but he's not at the level Gyokeres was even in his first season here, where he was an almost constant threat

 

[hill83]

Don’t forget the English tax

 

[MrBlueFace]

Good point. Who was the last English player to score 20 odd championship goals at his age?!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Morgan Whittaker who is almost exactly the same age with 6 more league goals.

 

[MrBlueFace]

Both will probably be targets for Brentford to replace Toney

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

English striker getting a move to the Premiership will cost a lot more than Vik.

If Plymouth go down on Saturday it’ll knock a huge wedge off his price. If he stays they could get enough to build a squad. Huge for them that they stay up

If anyone offered more than we got for Vik, we should snap their hands off quicker than Simms can control a simple ball.

 

[Cov4life]

15 -20 million for simms? I’d drive him there

Scored a few goals but I’m just not sure on him
