Been told a bid has been made for Ellis Simms.

We're not the only team in for him though.

Considering Ipswich have bid 3.5m I’d be very surprised if we had

Was told by someone who'd know. Coventry have made a bid, so have other teams. Don't know fees involved or if we're highest bid etc.

These figures are plucked out of thin air by desperate local press staffers madly scrambling around to pad out their guel thin 'stories'

Might hit that with bonuses and add-ons but will only ever be reported officially as undisclosed

We will soon find out as i can see things moving pretty quickly with Vik. Robins will want this dealt with and have everyone who is into Ryton focused on the team. Not who is not there or who doesn't want to believe in the club.

What's the lowest price we'd go if it meant getting Simms? I'd be happy with £15m+ Simms.

I think if we are valuing simms at around £4m, I'd say 16m. Be nice to get around £20m for Vik full package.

Reckon Simms is a 4/5 million pound player

14/15 plus the player

Is Simms good enough ? Suspect this is a bit of media hype from the Everton end who at the moment haven’t got two pennies to rub together.

Simms would be a good replacement but other than Wilson for Mquoid, Coulibaly and Alsopp I can't remember another time this really happened. Especially with 2 permanent deals anyway

Not the paciest and bit cumbersome but he’d probably do well with likes of hamer/o’hare/nippy attackers next to him

My thought exactly, I know it's not the best way to judge a player but he hasn't had a look in at any youth level international teams so £4 million sounds steep to me.

7 goals in 17 appearances last season suggests so. Get 20 next season and as an English player we are looking at £15/20m again.

Anyway the last one was Marvin Sordell to Burton in exchange for Beavon, and Reilly on loan wasn't it?

Reckon it’ll be Simms or Yates at around £4m as the Vik replacement. Then a couple of £0.5-1.5m signings and some frees and loans.

Not really. You’d have thought we can fill the squad with generally better quality and maybe pick up another gem or two. Obviously depends who and in what positions though.

Everton want players like Simms off their wage bill and a bit of loot in the bank.
We need better than him to replace Gyokeres should he leave.
