At 24 I wouldn't really say he's that young. He should be putting in consistent performances by now.
He needs to be kept…. We know he will bring 20 goals if his head is in the right space… so surely it’s about concentrating on that rather than selling and hoping the next striker can deliver.
For Simms he is young enough to coach and develop… so why wouldn’t we?
Agree with KSB on Simms the guy has had something like 7 season in pro. football and still can't do some of the basics like trap a ball you need that simple skill to have any chance in the championship.He needs to be kept….

Wilson has had too many and is prone to many more injuries. They've taken their toll on him as a player too and the pace and acceleration he had has diminished. No way imo.Callum Wilson and Adam Armstrong both available on frees???
He didn't though did he? Gyokeres got free to go clear on goal to set up our winnerAnyone would think the opposition has no defence reading some of this! Our strikers just queue up to score and if they miss they're shit. I don't remember anyone said that Vik was shit when McNair kept him quiet in '23. I do remember a lot of people calling Godden shit - be careful what you wish for!
Who is replacing the goals Wright scores if we sell him? Who replaces Simms? There’s no need to rip up the entire strike forceDon’t think Armstrong suits what we need. Would personally sell Wright and Simms. BTA I think offers something different especially from the bench and Bassette will continue to develop.
On Wilson, it would 100% depend on wages but wouldn’t want him leading the line. Would be a very expensive bench option.
Said it on here 100 times but would look at Salech from Cardiff as the big striker signing and then look towards a back up option as well as a left winger to back up EMC
Okay, so under Lampard Haji Wright has scored four goals (three in one match), Simms has scored five goals and BTA has scored three goals.Who is replacing the goals Wright scores if we sell him? Who replaces Simms? There’s no need to rip up the entire strike force

Salech has scored 8 in 20 games since joining in January (in a relegation side). My hope would be Salech would replace the goals here as the traditional target forward (has the highest headed shots per 90 in the league, 6ft 5 and 22 so will develop). BTA would also chip in, I would hope, alongside a back up to them.
I think selling Wright allows for funds to be sent across the team and I’m not opposed to keeping Simms but think he needs to develop as a first choice which he wouldn’t be for me. Wouldn’t also want to rip up the entire strike force which is why I’d keep 2 out of the 4

There's zero evidence that the club wants to sell him.IF HES THAT GOOD WHY DO WE WANT TO SELL HIM
I suspect the latter given that we would need a significant rebuild in either scenario to compete in the prem.Not your average season but we would have needed another 31 points to make the autos. To get up there we definitely need a rethink. If we are happy with the play offs then just a tinker.
I’d probably say 5\6 million plus add ons. He’d be expensive for sure but I think worth it in this regard. Plus will some good free agents available we might be able to spend more on one or two individual players than we could in the last rebuild.What would he cost? £3.3m in Jan and contracted until 2029. I’d say £8m+
Surely we wouldnt sell to a championship rivalI’d probably say 5\6 million plus add ons. He’d be expensive for sure but I think worth it in this regard. Plus will some good free agents available we might be able to spend more on one or two individual players than we could in the last rebuild.
Ive seen some Champ teams like WBA are interested.
Salech and a free transfer, Emil Riis as an example, but there's probably better if i can be arsed to look... for the money you'd get for BTA and Simms probably with some change is a no brainer. Hope the club are smarter than some on here.Surely Salech will be available a bit more affordable now they’ve gone down. £5m?
In Salech not wright sorry not clear in my writingSurely we wouldnt sell to a championship rival
i mean many people on here, people are just unhappy. he has the quality, just need to coach him more.There's zero evidence that the club wants to sell him.
Yeah I think similar price to Rudoni to be honest who was worth every pennySurely Salech will be available a bit more affordable now they’ve gone down. £5m?
I don't disagree but let's face it, this forum doesn't have good history when it comes to judging strikers' ability.i mean many people on here, people are just unhappy. he has the quality, just need to coach him more.
Not sure what you mean, many people on this forum would have kept Biamou over Gyokeres so... oh wait you're right.I don't disagree but let's face it, this forum doesn't have good history when it comes to judging strikers' ability.
ABILITY, APPLICATION, ATTITUDE that's what needs coaching into our strikers.i mean many people on here, people are just unhappy. he has the quality, just need to coach him more.
Get an Israeli in to even it up.Not sure how a few on here would hope with a half Palestinian player mind.
lampard has more goals for chelsea...Bring Drogba in as an attacking coach
No one has more goals for chelsea than Lampard…lampard has more goals for chelsea...
