And if Broadhead ends up doing nothing all season I hope seeing his old teammate banging them in for us wearing the number 9 shirt that should have been his, becomes a lesson for young 20-somethings at premier league clubs everywhere
You have given up on him coming, I think he will be the next one through the door. The wages thing probably miggh not even be from our side, like most modern day footballers and their agents if he is going to take a paycut tk come here he is probably seeing if he can get anything out of Everton first to pay out his contract. Equally though if he has been too motivated by money we could have ****ed him off. P.s I know nowt!
It doesn’t mean anything at all. Broadhead might not necessarily have wanted that number anyway, it depends what’s available when people sign.
I hope we don't spend weeks chasing Broadhead, if he wants to come then make him an appropriate offer, if he (or his agent more likely) isn't happy then move to the next target. We don't need this turning into another Borini saga.
I dont think I have seen much of Simms, but his record looks decent. Plenty on here excited, so good enough for me. I like the look of his profile - size, pace, two footed. Sounds a good un. I still want Broadhead back. He is a talent IMO. Brilliant on the deck, quick, good in the air, natural finisher. Someone will get a good lad to work with, just hope it is us. We have a new head of medicine too, hopefully we will be stronger on injury prevention.
That’s a good solid loan signing. Nice to have another option up top. Someone with pace who can play right across the front line next…
Im buzzing we've finally got Simms over the line. Him and Stewart could become the new Bent and Kenwyn Jones if/when they both play together
welcome Ellis lad very good signing just need Stewart to sign that new contract as stated in the scottish sun and hopefully Broadhead soon too
I don't see us walkong away from Broadhead signing unless he indicates he is not interested for whatever reason (including only wanting coming if we offer wages outside our budget). I think if we got him we could have 3 strikers hitting double figures, I can't see there being a reliance on ant one of them and Broadhead is a different option to the other two I think (don't know much about Simms but he sounds similar to Stewart)
Delighted that we've managed to get Simms and it eases the pressure on any remaining signings. We can just about get by on what we have now. I'd want a 3rd striker at a minimum, but worst case scenario, we have flexibility in Dejaku and Clarke which means we don't need to be held to ransom over Broadhead or anyone else. After a striker, anything else is a bonus for me now.
I expect that they want him permanently but it's a great move for him. If it is a loan, then it's good level for him to be tested at.
Nee body is pushing him off the ball easily. looking at Twitter hearts fans are absolutely gutted he’s not signed with them another year, to the point of acting like jilted boyfriends.
