Transfer Rumour Simms to Valencia (1 Viewer)

[Ashdown]

There is something just not right with Wright, yes he may have picked up this mysterious quad injury but he hasn’t featured in any marketing or promotional stuff like normal and I’ve heard strong rumours him and his wife don’t want to be here.
BTA is going to be next to useless at this level that’s for sure.
So Simms has to stay, he does offer something and as others have said , Awoniyi might not be good for 90 minutes after 90 minutes and the Cherif is only a kid. Of all the recent recruitment we haven’t excelled in this position IMHO.

 

[CovRes]

Now it's clear he is staying at least till January then we should see a bit more of Ellis probably as a late sub.

I think Tawio got 2 90 min games was because Frank Lampard wants him properly match fit and that's the best way to achieve that.

Thomas needing to come off may have been part of the reason Awoniyi played the full game against Hull.

Having a hamstring go is not “mysterious” it’s a very common footballing injury and Wright is prone to injury unfortunately.
He will be strapped up at home until he can train- given this is probably another 8 weeks he isn’t going to be in and around the team .
Was it a “strong rumour” he and his wife don’t want to be here?
The facts are that he in the past has taken the full amount of estimated time to recover from injury and then starts slowly. Going out in January does seem a possibility though- but then we will have other options ourselves if that happens .

It’s the same bullshit rumour that’s been going on for 2 years.

 

[skybluecam]

Maybe they have looked at what they can get for Simms and thought he's actually worth more than that to the club this season. If we were only going to get 10 mil for him I doubt we could get better for the same money. last season he got 13 goals as the back up striker, if he gets 1/2 that many this season as the back up its probably worth more than 10 mil.

Simms isn’t worth 10m and there’s no way he scores 6-7 goals this season

 

[Mcbean]

Going on holiday ?

 

[OldBedrocker]

Don’t shoot the messenger but I have a friend who lives by Wright and there were 2 small removal vans outside his house yesterday

Only 2 small removal vans, hardly house clearance is it.

I was using his value off Transfer Market. Looking at what clubs have paid for Strikers in the Championship this summer it looks to be a fair valuation. If it was 5 million who would you buy for that money who would be better than him?

Maybe he's buying a bigger house with the Premier League wage?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Selling Wright and using the money on Jaden Sanchos wages

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Did anyone hear that Simms turned down a move to Burnley on deadline day and told Lampard he wants to fight for his place in the team.

Would be weird though unless we had another striker lined up?

We’re going to be stacked in the striker dept as potentially it’s Big T, Cherif, Wright, BTA and Simms.

When all fit who’s dropping out of the matchday squad?

In any case he showed yesterday he can have a good impact so happy to have him around,

Yeah Cov Pod said this, fair play to him if he did. Would like him to sign a new contract though otherwise we need to sell in Jan

Where does your mate think he lives?

Abroad is calling,if he fancies going continental.

 

[wingy]

Or get rid of his contract and go back and help Everton with their numbers,
.
Maybe Moyes likes a light deck too?

Couldnt do that till January anyway

Doh true I forgot that bit, just wondering out loud really.

I suspect should we look like we have a fighting chance at staying up we may say 3 changes in January, Woolf or lati out for a CB, a midfielder out for a midfieler and Simms/Bta out for a striker/forwad

Value between them id say Ellis Will be off before anyone else.

If you replace Simms and BTA with 1 quality forward its probably fair game

It’s mentioned on the Cov Pod latest release

 

[baldy]

I actually think he could easily manage to get 6 this season

 

[baldy]

Nearly managed it yesterday.

What? He almost managed to score 6 in one game? Come on

So they publicise that Wright is injured so they can’t sell him in the transfer window The only ‘something isn’t right’ is your crackpot theories.

Really?

Even if he could actually score the goals he’ll struggle to see the pitch once Cherif and Wright are fit.

They arent likely to be "match fit" till around the january window which is when i suspect he will leave

Surely Cherif will be fit before then. All time transfer stinker otherwise.

He will be fit to play a part im sure

I doubt it - and even if he turned down an offer its only because he would be looking at being a free agent in the summer.

He will likely be 4th choice once everyone is available.
