    Not having guaranteed future income is a family issue

    Just to answer your question about why he's not playing well currently. Most likely reason imo.

    People are getting really mixed up with inexperience. Our best players , bought on a lower price have had lots of games, especially in the UK. Ballard, Clarke etc. Perfect example. Much easier for them to get it rather than some 19 year old with 5 games in a farmer's league.

    Stewart hadn't played at championship or league one level. He played lower league in Scotland.

    Experience doesn't always mean goals, Simms has championship experience, would you have signed him?

    Experience is experience. It's understanding where to run, where to stand, how to find space and how to lose your man.
    On Tuesday night, Bradley Dack was coaching Bennette on where to stand and where to run. We don't have time for Hemir to learn on the job, it's that simple

    That is absolutely nowhere near our championship level, though.

    Doesn’t matter, he’s a professional footballer who played in a professional league, I wouldn’t know if the league is the equivalent of our championship, league one or league two, or scottish division one, but he has played at an ok level.

    Added to that moving to another country with another language and culture away from the family is significant in any young adults life life, exciting but messy

    I would have but only as third choice because he has a lot of developing to do imho therefore there was a huge difference between what I would have payed and what Coventry did. I’d have gone around a million quid.,

    Agreed he was over priced but he has championship experience.

    Its great wanting it, but getting it at the correct price isn't as easy

    I think the difference though is Coventry signed him as first choice number 9, I’d have signed him as third. So for that price I simple wouldn’t have wanted him. A player with a couple of seasons scoring regularly, starting weekly in a good league I wouldn’t worry so much and Simms fee may fit. I think he needs to learn some basics but has some assets.
