I just think in the formation we're playing we need a striker who can play with his back to goal who can get hold of the ball and bring others into play, something Simms is woeful at.
It's mad. There's a whole host of reasons clubs loan players, relating to both finance and development.
The idea they'll loan someone to a club because he used to play for them can't be high up the list.
He took time to settle, agreed.
But his return over the season wasnt too bad, I think 5 or six goals and 5 assists in 30 league games and I'm sure he'll improve on that if he stays injury free.
I'd bet a large sum of money that if one of our players allows himself to get a stone overweight that Lampards reaction would be very much the opposite of this.
