Talk about recruitment…what about Everton selling Simms for £3.5 million to replace him with Beto for £25 million. He is woeful at best. Shocking business.

Fuck me. Whoever signed off on that should be working in Poundland!

I compare the two because Everton sold Simms (striker) and signed Beto (striker). Yes Simms wasn’t great in 23…but Beto has been shite in 23 and 24. Honestly think Simms looks better and I am definitely in no way biased with my sky blues tinted glasses on.

Simms is better than Beto. Beto is utter shite but he has a fancy name which adds £10 million.
If Hamer and been renamed here to Hamerinho he would have gone for £25 million. Doug King is a mug for not investing in change of name deed pollsters.

It's got to go full circle in the end hasn't it where British players will be the value signings?

I always believed Simms would come good and have been consistent, he was/is still young and lots more potential to improve further. If he keeps working and with our ability to grow players, he couldnt be in more perfect surroundings.

People simply expected too much too soon. If he was already at Vik's level then he'd have commanded a similar fee.

What I can't understand with Everton is why, when it was so obvious about Vik, that they didn't make Ellis part of the deal to get him instead of a chance on Beto.

They did. That’s why we signed him. They offered him as part of a Vik offer IIRC.

Beto did really well for udinese in series a. He's not woeful. 25m isn't alot by prem standards is it?

Just like Simms came good so can beto. Let's not make the same mistakes with different teams players like we did our own I say.

Think you've been a bit conservative there Pete. In terms of recruitment / value for money I'd easily go +1 for several of them.

Played a lot less games and in different positions, cost a lot less money too. I think Sakamoto would have won player of the year if he didn’t get injured.

Beto i am sure is good in a slower paced league but English football i think is beyond him.

Beto is distinctly average. He’s probably a 10-15 goal a season Championship striker so Everton should have just kept Simms. But that’s the ridiculousness of football in this era. It’s why Robins is like a breath of fresh air with his honesty and realism.

Wilson
Van Ewijk, Lati, Kitching, DaSilva
Sheaf, Eccles
O'Hare (or Allen)
Sakamoto, Simms, Wright

That is the formation that gets the best from our new signings imo. I'm available to start immediately.

You have included Lati at CB and Dasilva at LB. I assume those were Easter Eggs aimed at Tony

I changed my mind on those 2 fairly soon after this. I'm proud of the shout though, to me it was always clear it was the best formation for this group.
Also I would say Dasilva and Lati are probably the 2 that suffered most from this formation change as in the old formation they were decent enough.

Sorry, @Saddlebrains looks like I've quoted the same one you've already had to reply to tonight multiple times, guess that's why it's at the top of my feed. Don't worry sure we've all got similar form somewhere. Really bad take though lol
