Fair enough if they recall him but no chance is he playing for them - if anything it'll be a power play to try and sign Stewart. I like Simms but as a back up to Stewart, no chance is he ready for the PL - not even close
I like Simms but he's not ready for the premier league. That would be a very foolish and desperate move on Everton's part.
They must well and truly in the **** to pin their survival hopes on Simms.
I think Simms will be gutted. I also think he knows he's not ready for a relegation battle in Prem league. It's hardly going to help his development.
I thought we battered them for 40 minutes and should’ve had the game won before HT. Wigan huffed and puffed with very little quality. I was always confident our subs would come on and win us the game.
Most do unless there is a fee agreed at the end of it. So Amad can be recalled but I dont think PSG can recall Michut
We did the same when we recalled Patto and Diamond from Notts County and Harrogate respectively when we needed them so cant really cry now the boot is on the other foot. All depends who they have lined up and what preparation we have done.
Would love him, the boy is different class. I would also take Ewan Ferguson from Brighton on loan.
Borges from City would be another loan option I would look at, not as a striker but as a left winger. He would push Clarke more than Dajaku or Jewi will
Just looked at the highlights and as I'd thought, none of the four goals were down to what people call 'classic centre forward play' or 'leading the line'.
I'm not saying Stewart isn't an important player but the club seem to be finding ways of avoiding building the side around one player. Mowbray is a savvy individual and he, I believe, hinted at this when he said 'we need to find different ways to score goals'.
We need to have players who can come in to make a difference in different ways, Michut, Ba, Roberts, Matete, etc. I've seen suggestions that Dajaku should be sent out on loan or moved out altogether ... I couldn't disagree more.
He's just the type of quick, dynamic forward player we can educate into playing alongside those we already have. All of this type of player will have periods when they look tired, due to our intense style, and rotation will follow imo.
I love to see Stewart start but I'm never going down the road of 'irreplaceable hero' ever again whether it's a player, manager, groundsman or kit man ...
... as KLD said, before he came here, football can be a rotten business.
We need to get used to the fact that sentimentality is for the supporters and the club has to be totally professional, even ruthless, and run the club for the club, the whole club and nothing but the club.
We've had decades of slovenly, fake, highly paid mercenaries taking the money and taking the piss, di Canio was right about that if nothing else. Give me Dajaku over Rodwell any day of the week and have SAFC in the media for all the right reasons.
Roll on Blackpool, Ha’way the Lads!!!

Unfortunately neither are Everton.
They’ve still got some good players and will probably stay up. They’ve been a mess for a few years now, though.
Aye there’s quality there but Lampard is a joke.
I can well imagine his team talks being ‘I did this and I did that’. You had peak Mourinho & Ancelotti pal.
I wonder how many league games Broadhead and Simms would've started if they'd both been here and Stewart wasn't injured ...
... a dozen between them if I'm being generous imo.
So has Simms definitely been recalled? Or just some journo saying it?
To be brutally honest I am not Simms biggest fan. His touch that led to their goal last night sums up my concerns about him, he hasnt yet got some of the basics sound. He has pluses and has played his part, but I think if he goes back we can do better than him.
As for Broadhead I would take him in a shot. Some of his play last year for us was class and I think he has more than enough to impact games in the championship. He is quick, can go past a man, great first touch and can finish. I would take him perm no bother and would bet there is plenty of improvement to come. If it were Simms out and Broadhead in I would be happy. Remember the club wanted him in the summer so they clearly thought 6 months ago he was a good fit. As for whether he bottled it, well only the whining Alex Neil put that out for people to think, so I doubt there is any truth in it.
We need 3 strikers still. So one more loanee would be needed.

I like Simms. I liked Broadhead.
Neither are in same league as Stewart and either are easily matched or bettered. Club profile is rocketing back up now.
We are very attractive to PL clubs for loans or to players for signings.
Archer is a top shout.
