    yep it’s a long shot but I can see sheff Utd tailing off

    Ahmehodzic is a beast tho. Should be playing for a top 4 side for my money. Think he will be soon.

    Didn’t they pay about £6M for him? He does look quality. Was excellent against us down there earlier in the season.

    I'm shocked Sheff Utd managed to sign him. He's destined for greater things. I've managed his meteoric rise at numerous clubs since FM 21and Champions League medals are not beyond him <laugh>

    If like to see Simms get a start tonight. It'll be a big moment for him to play in the FA Cup 3rd round at Old Trafford.

    I think he was unlucky not to come on as a sub when they were chasing the game late on…

    Just shows them taking him back is very strange indeed, don't think he'll get many minutes at all, such a shame.

    In his 'mid-season review', Kristjaan Speakman spoke about Ellis Simms' surprise recall from Everton and how the recruitment team will cope with having to find another striker or two...

    CONTINGENCIES

    "I think when you've got loan players in your squad you have to those contingency plans in case something like this occurs. We've had those in place in operation for the first half of the season and we've now got to make the right choices so that our squad is as strong as it was going into January, if not stronger."

    DISAPPOINTED

    "It's obviously disappointing, I think Ellis really, really enjoyed his time here. Speaking to him it was strange because I think he was bitterly disappointed to be going back but he is also going back to participate in a Premier League team. We're really pleased because he came here when he had options elsewhere and bought into everything about the club, and he's enjoyed the behind-the-scenes work to develop his game. I think he respects that."

    COME BACK ELLIS

    "If there's an opportunity for Ellis to come back we're open to that, and now that he's played for Everton [against Brighton] through the two-club rule he can only play for either them or us moving forward this season. It's going to be an interesting conversation maybe at some point in January on whether that's a possibility."
