Transfer Rumour Simms to Valencia (2 Viewers)

[TomRad85]

Maybe Doug King got some stuff wrong this summer.

In fact, that’s more likely than not.

Made the mistake of thinking he was still dealing with blokes like the Peterborough chairman. The big boys have chewed him up.

 

[fatso]

Simms is the one other oddity along with BTA

he also would have commanded a reasonable fee this window - I don’t get why he’s still here and on a rapidly running down contract

Perhaps he's refusing to move.

Have to assume they'll extend him. Doesn't make a lot of sense otherwise.

I love Rushworth, but don't think that was good value for a keeper that hasn't played above the Championship, that we could've had for £10m last year.

 

[skybluecam]

How many PL appearances and goals to his name?

only 1 less goal than Simms...

I think he will prove to be a very good keeper at this level, just not here. A poor man’s James Trafford.

 

[Marty]

Massively overpaid for Rushworth and we should have walked away imo. Happy he's here though.

get to fuck and go to bed you utter walloper

I don’t get the negativity

All of this is stuff we’ve done since King took over TBF: over paying, low wage cap, leaving glaring holes in the squad.

Is it a preference of not selling to our competitors for next season.

 

[Marty]

I don’t get the negativity

What negativity? You can be happy you signed someone but also think that you've overpaid.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I don’t get the negativity

not surprised

You probably won’t when we go pointless into most of October.

But we hear regularly on here that there is no room for sentiment in football.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Nothings happening at this hour! Turn off the lights

 

[Lamps]

I don’t get the negativity

Just the norm.

Say we're crap. We're not so go quiet. Have a bad run. We're crap again. Things pick up and they go quiet again.

I suppose it's a safe place to be. If you say we're crap and we are they can say 'told you so'. If we're not crap.they have something to celebrate.

This is the PL not The Championship

 

[Yorkshire SB]

What did people expect?

It was shite that we lost to Hull. Crap performance, terrible subs and game plan. Is it that big an upset though? No one else (football world) seemed that stunned, it was a classic smash and grab, we’ll probably do it to someone else.

We will win some games, and players will adapt and the team will find some rhythm and a way of playing that gets points.

Yes most people were surprised actually.

Liverpool bought an 18 year keeper from Belgium today for up to 30 million.

 

[stupot07]

Liverpool bought an 18 year keeper from Belgium today for up to 30 million.

An 18 year old who's already starting in the Belgium top division. Paying for potential and add ons will be heavily stacked on his development.

 

[Yorkshire SB]

Yes most people were surprised actually.

But that’s football, there’s not a huge gulf between the two teams. Lampard got it wrong, we were desperate to win and took our eye off it defensively. The context is horrible and it was depressing leaving that stadium Saturday, but it is one game.

King has heaped failure on top of failure, it's true.

I’ve repeatedly said it worked in the championship but go off

You've had a mare today.

You've had a mare today.

Are you quite alright? Another victim of the derangement syndrome?

 

[Shannerz]

I don’t get the negativity

It's been a shit start with shit performances, but i don't think that's anything to do with the transfer window, which people are being a bit silly about.

It's a bit baffling in places, and I don't think it's gone exactly to plan, but not the unmitigated disaster you'd think on here. In terms of numbers in, it's about as you'd expect if you were being sensible.

 

[San Francisco]

Are you quite alright? Another victim of the derangement syndrome?

Why? Because I don't think we've had a bad window?

 

[shmmeee]

Why? Because I don't think we've had a bad window?

Because I’ve not said a word to you and you’re trying to pick a fight with me. Go away and talk to people who want to talk to you if you can’t be normal. Just bizarre behaviour.

 

[TomRad85]

If he's staying we really need to try and get him to sign a contract. Such a weird position we've left ourselves in, we might need him but theres little incentive to want him to do well as he can just walk away if he does.

Its just completely odd planning. Even if you cant get him away at peak of value, if hes not gonna sign a contract you offer him away at a cut price deal

 

[Liquid Gold]

Now Dean and Doug have to beg him to sign a new contract while he knows he’s way down the pecking order and can pick his destination come May.

Fucking shambles.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

All of this is stuff we’ve done since King took over TBF: over paying, low wage cap, leaving glaring holes in the squad. Bought the club - got rid of SISU. Bought the stadium. Had the greatest season for 25vyears. Got promoted to the Premier League
