Hopefully we have finally made the decision to sell players in their final year, rather than let them leave for free.
It's a fair point, but in a club that's desperate for strikers, you have to ask the question why is a young prospect like Simms not being retained? Everything is here for him to push on and become a premier league striker. I find it hard to believe we havent offered him an extension, and the opportunity is here for him (unless he knows something we dont).
If he was at another team, would you buy him to fill that striker gap? Because I don’t think he’d be topping any lists of potential improvements to our squad. He’s not a young prospect, he’s a decent (and proven) Championship striker.
I suppose that could be said of any young striker, but he has the opportunity to step up here. It just frustrates me to see us with 3 strikers with one always injured, one who is fully useless and one with potential to grow and improve being sold off. This at a time when we are desperate to add to the squad.
I don't think he would be sold if the manager thought he was good enough. And if we aren't convinced then this summer is our last chance to sell for decent money. I agree with the decision, I just don't think he's quite good enough for top flight football.
I know what you mean but we’re in a position where we need to add players who will improve the team. Simms didn’t get a fair crack of the whip, admittedly, but in the few chances he had to show something, he didn’t really. Cannon looks more like the one with potential to grow.
i wouldn’t be so sure about maupay goin mate
