This Ellis Simms love-in is baffling.
He's only good in the confines of the box, of which we don't play in, he is not PL quality unless you're setting up him in the 18-yard box.
...and we’ve never sold more than 6 players (last season) with the average being 2-3 sales per season. Last season being the most because it included the likes of Simms and Cannon who let’s face it weren’t even first team players to sell.
Suddenly we’re going to sell 7 wank players are we? @Zatara
Beto's fee doesn't land till next season. We had to sell Cannon and Simms this season. Same with Richarlison. Dyche skirted round it in a presser recently.
Forward line I’m okay with (which made all the possible Gnonto/forward hunting today weird) but 2 out of 4 CB’s suck, 3 out of 6 midfielders suck and still dead weak in full-backs.
That the same younger Balogun that's just slotted more than 20 goals in Ligue 1 and plays and scores for his national side?
It's also €40m inc. addons so probably under £30m flat.
Think we'd have been keeping the likes of Simms and Cannon around. Leeds (not sure about the other two) had lots of relegation clauses in their contracts so it depends if we do with ours.
Well one has played in the PL and for the Italian national side whereas the other lad has barely done anything. Why would we have the same expectations placed on them?
