January transfer thread

Hope the club have at least another striker lined up, honestly think Simms is a no go this window, hope I am wrong.

 

He isn't lazy

 

Imagine not wanting a player who has a goal contribution every 125 minutes for us this season. Unbelievable man

 

Simms probably wasn't going anywhere anyway, unless they brought in a few strikers, Dyche as a new manager will rightly want to keep and assess all his forward options available to him.

 

Crackers mate, even Tony says he brought loads to the team and scored some very important goals for us.

 

"I'd trust us to add what we needed to make a decent go of it."

I agree mate.

I believe we already have plans for each scenario including 'promotion by accident' and we'd have the money to bring in a little extra ...

... I remember how many said we'd struggle in the Championship and, injuries aside, we've coasted it so far.

The lub have officially announced re; Stewart so I'd imagine any striker deal we may be doing is already done... Otherwise we'd be weakening our bargaining power wouldn't we?

 

Copley & Paste at it again..........

 

Aye but some idiots in our fanbase reckon he’s lazy so we shouldn’t sign him. Don’t get it at all

 

Good point

 

I don't think Simms being at training this morning is a huge indicator he isn't coming here. Everton will be trying to sign a striker and if it comes off, he will possibly come. But if it doesn't, then its good that he trained.

Either way if he does come to us, I'm glad he's training today and not sitting in a car waiting for news.

 

Decent from Everton, allowing him the chance to say goodbye the the lads

 

Means zip. He can sign subject to medical etc, and can be at the AOL in a couple of hours if needed.

 

Exactly. And chances are they have most of the medical info they need anyway from his previous one and any ongoing tests following his injury he suffered whilst here?

He doesn't even need to be at the AOL to sign nowadays.

 

One good thing is that Ellis wants to be here , ultimately it’s up to Everton but we can’t be gazumped by other clubs . It’s up to us to agree something with Everton and quickly as the clock is ticking even if it’s a loan with an obligation to buy to avoid another medical .

 

30% tear to the achilles tendon out for the season but expected to heal fully in time for preseason.

 

A defensive midfielder we were linked with at the beginning of the window.

 

it gonna be a very long day for us aint it

 

Just Dyche having a last look before letting him go.

 

What’s exciting (hopefully) that if we get either a midfielder or a striker (and really we need both) and they’re NOT Ellis Simms, then there isn’t the slightest clue who it could be. Zero other links whatsoever

 

Has James Garner been playing for Everton? If they fancy loaning us him they can keep Simms
