Rumour doing the rounds not sure if any truth in it but Simms has played 99 games for us and another would trigger a payment to Everton. If FL doesn't think he has a future here no point in playing him and paying the extra.

Doesn't really make sense to pick him on the bench if that was the case as taking up a space someone else could have.
For that to be true he’d have had to appear in virtually every single league game since he signed?

why? we've bid 5.5m for the keep plus 7 or 8m for hughes
The 7and 8 million bid for Hughes was probably including the £5.5m we bid and didn't spend on Rushworth.

And my guess is, had the 8 million offer for hughes been accepted, that would also of triggered the sale of MvE for £8million.

so we don't need to sell people first?

There is no actual confirmation we were the club that bid £5.5 million for the keeper .

Not always, I think we want replacements in the door before letting people go.
KKH was brought in to replace MvE
And we obviously have a bid in for MvE, and my guess is we will accept the bid if we can get a CH for the same money.

As far as strikers go though, it may be a different story, we have 4 first team strikers and only play 1, we are paying Wright and Simms £200k a month between them, so I'd imagine King will want to move strikers out before paying for another one.

Purely my guess though.
