That fee for Simms is over the top in my opinion. One year left on his deal so shouldnt be anywhere above £3 for me. I cant see why Coventry are paying that sort of money at all, other than it is burning a hole in their pocket. I know there is a premium on English playes but that looks way over the odds to me. I would be confident if we wanted to spend £8m on a a striker we would find a better player. Simms is a decent finisher, instinctive, but he has a lot to improve on and I doubt he would have progressed much under Dyche since we last saw him.
I don't think it'll be 8m up front. Be more like half that, rest as add ons.
Seen someone say it was £3.5m up front rising to £5m then £8m upon promotion. No idea how true.
Agree 7+mil for simms is too much based on what ive seen, but, like every player, he is worth whatever anyone is willing to pay. Goal scorers are worth their weight in gold. Whether he continues his current record, which is decent by anyone's standards, is another question, I suspect he will. Hes a player who contributes very little other than goals, just so happens goals are the most important factor in most matches.
No, he isn't.
More signings will come at SAFC I'm sure... they'll have irons in the fire
Simms at 8 mil needs context.
70 mil in the last few years is now peanuts. McGuire, Anthony, sancho, fofana etc. In that world, 8 now will be 20 very soon.
However, Saudi money has come in. Fees will be up, wages through the roof. Potential, it it goes right, it becomes the place to be. If that's the case, our clubs could lose a ton of revenue, quickly.
So for me, stay well clear of big fees for the next few years, see how it all plays out. Get the academy in good shape and prioritise making money over short term glory

Wasn't trying to be... just saying I'm sure they're working hard in the background
After Wigan, Bury, Derby, etc I think a little caution.should be tolerated tbh.

Slag. Never fancied her anyway
In this case I didn't.
I don't believe he'll make a PL striker and obviously Everton feel the same.
I'd expect they're scouting lower league 22 year old English strikers they could sign on moderate wages ...
... but they're happy to let Simms go.
