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!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Loads and loads of over priced players from league one?

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.

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!

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

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

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

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