Please show me proof as there is absolute no way Simms won 73% of aerial duels

And tbf, I never once said that BTA could either. I was referencing Simms only when I made the point as he offers us absolutely nothing!

Stats are wrong for a start and if you had the intelligence to read a game, you’d know that there is no way Simms wins 3 out of 4 headers.

Does it count as a challenge when you jump five seconds before the ball arrives?

% of Aerials Won41.8%

You're looking at what percentile he is in for the total number of aerials won - not the percentage of aerial duels he wins which is actually 41.8% - poor for his stature.

Spent a good amount of the summer arguing, firstly with those that didn't think we needed a keeper and secondly with those that don't think we need a striker.
I have opinions on Simms and BTA but not enough to argue over which shade of turd is least stinky. If we go into the season with either starting up front then Lampard needs to be tanning Blings cheeks.

What benefits does Simms bring then? Because he doesn’t even do that.

Can’t head, can’t hold up, can’t link play. But he scored 6 goals against Rotherham and Maidstone.

Compared to other forwards. He wins more aerial duels than 73% of them, i.e. he's nearly in the top quartile whereas BTA is in the bottom quartile.

Yes agreed.

This perspective that BTA is better than Simms is a load of rubbish though.

My stance is I want better than both.

As a starter, I 100% agree with you. But from the bench, I’m choosing BTA every single time!

I know what I'm looking at, I've put it in brackets. His stature is irrelevant because the same point can be made about any of his opponents. If you look at percentage of aerials won, the highest forwards are around 60%, it is dominated by centre backs

Frontline definitely needs a refresh. You take 60-80% of what you paid for Simms or Asante if you can get it and move on. I'd rather keep Simms but meh.

I could not do CTA. Too much tax. I enjoyed the content, and how applicable it was but the exam just felt like you need to know absolutely everything, and every scenario had its own rule.

Look at us SHUNT, enemies to lovers trope

I'm assuming Simms has hit none of his add ons? That's an open question to anyone that might know btw... so what are we at for them atm? About £3.5 million each?

Well theres also whether or not his won headers are just going absolutely nowhere which they do the majority of the time

if you can get £5m for them combined that feels like the best case scenario in this window. Both had poor seasons. If you can get either off the wage bill and claw back £2m with some add-ons, you suck it up and move on.
