I'm in two minds about Simms. He's scored a few for us and would fit right back into the squad.
Just not convinced how good he is. He's a presence and comes alive in the box but his general play is patchy.
For a target man he's not great at holding the the ball up and struggles in the air.
Saying all that He's scored a few for us and would fit right back into the squad
If he comes back would like to see him in a two up front with Stewart could be potent.

Not arguing with you, but I'm getting bored with saying this; Simms is a youngster playing in a massively analysed position. He's had little or no game time at Everton, and from looking at their squad precious little chance to develop by studying the strikers around him. He needs someone like Ross Stewart to watch and learn from, someone who can help him develop his game, learn the tricks and the skills a seasoned pro has. In 2 or 3 years I genuienly believe that Simms has the potential to become a very, very good striker. He has the physical attributes, he just needs to earn how to maximise them (strength, technique, hold-up play etc.). I'd be delighted to get him back - preferably on a permanent and go from there. He has 7 in 17 iirc, not a statistic to be sniffed at.

This, he has a lot of ability but isn’t the finished article, we won’t be signing anyone who is either, have him back in a heartbeat

Leeds apparently asking for a rather large chunk of Gelhardt's wages, which aren't insignificant. so feels less likely.

Feeling more and more likely Simms will be the loan striker we get

I'm more than happy with that. He's good enough. Its all about next season for me. Keep this set of players (minus Amad which feels unlikely), let them learn from this year and then next year we could have a chance.

The permanent, young, "third" striker is much more important than whoever the 2nd loan is. They're going to be the one who goes into next season as second choice behind Stewart, or perhaps even first choice depending on events.

6 months of simms feels safe which allows us to be abit left field with the perm striker all works perfectly, if it comes off like

long winded way of saying I agree with you :emoticon-0102-bigsm
