Would be a great signing. Gives us 2 seasons and he’ll be the next Vik. Big money.

Can’t imagine we’d be paying that much for him

So seems Simms is done

You've got to think there was too much Nouse around Yates for nothing to be there

Would we be happy with Yates and Simms as Viks replacements? I think i would

If it’s true that we are spending around £7m that shocks me somewhat. Could we get better for £7m? I’m inclined to believe so.

like who. Simms has significant upward potential in both ability and potential returns.

Good player, happy to have him, but the 7-8 mill is expensive.

He will be worth so much more as an English player after a few season with us. A lot more than Vik. A lot more potential with him as well.

7-8m is pie in the sky figures. I'd imagine it would be half of that.

Maybe Yok deal nearly over the line so we can now commit to spending. Hopefully it’s legit and confirmed.

I think he's a good replacement. Even during dry spells he looks like someone who will impose himself on a backline and take defenders away whilst Palmer, O'Hare and Hamer pick up some goals

It is but if he bangs in 20+ goals which he is fully capable of, he will be in demand for big money.

Macrus Forss and Sam Surridge? Of course the figures quoted aren’t exact, but could we’ve got one of these players for the same money, yes.

I will concede the fact that Simms is younger therefore he has a potential to have a higher sell on value, but if we are losing Vik we need to replace him with someone proven and I just have doubts over Simms compared against Surridge.

Some signing really. If this is a sign of things to come it looks like we may be having a proper go at it.

Surridge is hardly handy in front of goal.

I'd imagine he would cost within £1-2m of what we would pay for Simms anyway.

Wow. Wasn't expecting this if true. Appears to be capable of scoring a few goals, and appears to be the right age to gain value. Hopefully the right attitude and fit, but I'm sure MR has done his research. A lot of money to gamble on one player though, assuming Vik rumours are correct and what we will have left after this.

Hope this is true, I think he'd be a great signing.

Plus I said it would be a good shout back in January

What you want to see. Reinvesting in players with a high ceiling that can help us kick on and/or have resale value.

The price is unnerving but if he'll replace Vik's goals for a fraction of the price. It's a winner.

Apparently he's a natural finisher and he has strength but not really any pace.

If he turns out to be a 1 in 2 striker, 22 years old, English. We'll never lose cash on him.

This would show real intent. Like others I worry a little about the price mainly as it may mean we can buy less in other positions. Saying that we are screaming out for striking talent hopefully we will be able to pick up some bargains. Thinking about it if we have managed to get an amazing deal for Vik then maybe Doug holding out has got the majority of this fee!
