Look at it this way, Simms is basically free in the eyes of those people shouting to take the first offer from Sporting for Vik at a rumoured 17 million euros. If the latest (24 million euros) is true, then that's about 7 million more (admittedly in euros), which would just about cover this transfer free.

Colour me shocked. Douglas is more business astute than the experts on SBT!

Astonishing, if true and a major statement of intent from the club. I am assuming the fee is lower than the £7-10 million quoted and as ever, Cov will be paying over years, not in one fell swoop.
Even so, I sympathise with anyone who thinks this is risky. The club has been burned badly in the past by spending money we couldn’t afford.
Part of the statement is not just adding a player like this but the message it sends to other clubs and more importantly, other players.
It also indicates that the Gyokeres sale to Lisbon isn’t far away

Singing doo a diddy diddy dum diddy doo
Running past defenders scoring 1 or 2,
He looks good, looks good
He looks fine, looks fine
Ellis Simms is on my mind and he's City’s number 9....

Seriously, stop getting carried away. Wait until the 5pm Twitter reveal.

Could Gyokores be going to Everton??? I cant see us spending £4M plus on any player. Just dont add up.

yeah, but 1 player who would all be ours. We can then look at loans and other frees for depth

Derrick Robins, he of signing Hill fame, always knew the value of signing a No9. And the very positive impact it has on the team and fanbase.

More than happy with Simms and Dasilva as a start. But wouldn't mind 3 more perms Latibeaudiere being 1, 2 extensions and 5 loans in.

If that is done a broken window will soon be forgotten

Someone on twitter who mentioned the Elliot Simms news 1 hour before it broke has also said TC and a whole load of emojis.

Tom Cairney? Tom O'connor?

Dawkins is a really bitter little man isn’t he.

the tweet is to suggest King has over payed for Simms.

Fuck me you moan about everything haha. He would be a good signing, at least hes young, scored goals before and English.

If he goes and scores 25 next year we could be getting a £30m fee.

I’m putting it out there, he will be absolutely class and get 20 goals next season. Well worth the wait as our marquee signing if we manage to get this over the line. Buzzing.

My nieces partner is an Evertonian and he goes to a lot of games and has family in Liverpool.
He’s heard rumours that Calvert-Lewin is being lined up to replace Kane at Spurs and that Everton were interested in Vik as his replacement …….
