Swapping him for Chermiti gets more baffling by the week.

Cannon too

Absolute madness

People would lose jobs over blunders like that in a properly ran business

How much did we sell Simms for?

Not enough I can tell you that

How much did we sell Simms for?

We turned down £4m from Ipswich so in true EFC fashion we probably gave him to Coventry for £2m and forgot about a sell-on clause .

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Honestly, well done to Ellis

Always seemed a good lad

Hopefully this makes the usual suspects learn an important lesson, but they probably won’t

 

[Davideeyore]

Well done Simms.

You're not good enough for impotent Everton but nice to see you reach an FA Cup Semi Final at Wembley. Something us blues would like one day.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Let’s not completely revise history. At least 95% of this forum thought Simms was crap and were more than happy to get rid.

We seem to be producing half decent strikers recently as Simms and Cannon are doing well in the Championship and Dobbin looks promising and Ebere could be the next one off the production line.

At least we were smart and put a nice lowball buy back clause in.

Didn't we ?

I remember when a lot of our fans decided Simms wasn't up to it based on one appearance away at Anfield.

We could have had Mbappe or Messi up top that day and they'd have looked anonymous.

I'm not saying Simms is world class... far from it... but some of our fan base need to be far more patient before destroying players on here and on social media.

Well done Ellis.

We threw him under the bus, his first two starts were Liverpool and United I think, the manger set him up to fail.

Doesn’t mean much if we keep wasting their potential of course

 

[chippy1722]

How much did we sell Simms for?

£8m I think.

 

[kenada_blue]

But then spent more money on Chermiti

But that's over 3-4 years and a gamble on him being a "talent". And also straight "profit" on the books for the year for being an academy

Did always bang the drum for Simms like but a huge part with him and Canon was business.

And sadly too many supporters bought it, probably because deep down they wanted to

 

[royalblue66]

£8m I think.

They give him a 4year contact, I think.

 

[Big_Duncs_Fod]

Typical

2023 Everton sells Ellis Simms as he's not good enough.

2024 Ellis Simms heads to Wembley for a semi final. Everton are just hoping to be in business in a few weeks

 

[DualityNSNO]

Ellis Simms isn't good enough and Dyche was right to play him for 5 seconds a month as "he sees him in training" and "knows best".


Hilarious stuff, people still drink the same kool aid too about our other players
