Ellis Simms

[FY5_Seasider]

Having a bit of a shocker for Cov vs Leicester. Ball just bouncing off him. Constantly giving it away. I bet the fans are wondering what they have spent £4m on.

I'm sure he'll get goals for them but he's had one in that first half.

I thought 4 m was cheap obviously not

I'm not writing him off or anything. Just thought he's had a shocking first half.

 

[Seasideforever]

Maybe trying too hard ??

 

[tangerine_neil]

I hadn’t realised until today that they had signed him on a permanent 4 yr deal. £6-8m is the range being mentioned. Coventry expected to receive £20m for Gyökeres

 

[td53]

He was rubbish when he first signed for us. Apart from Wigan where he got two goals laid on for him, his first 5 or so games he looked terrible.

 

[FY5_Seasider]

His 2nd half hasn't started much better. Clean through and shanks it 20 yards wide

 

[TangerineTom]

Would have been in then if he made a run - games running away from him

Sky said 8m!
Surely not?

£6-8m with suggestion it’s towards the upper end. Beat off competition from the likes of Sunderland & Ipswich

 

[tangerine_neil]

Did Leicester have Horlicks at half-time?

 

[voyeur]

Initial 3-4m rising to 8 with add ons, is what I read.

Looking slow and cumbersome today.

Ellis Cumber-Simms.

Our Josh scored and set up the second for Cardiff vs Leeds.

Getting a season practice in before his expected return next season

I think Coventry has vastly overpaid foe the players they bought with the Gyokeres money. They've paid fees more in line with players proven in that division, rather than the potential they've got.

Rather have Jerry than Simms, personally.

The most over rated striker in the world.

I think he will come good. He has all the attributes to be a class striker. In the 2nd half of his stint with us he was excellent.

Really? It's one game ffs

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Coventry would have more joy signing CJ.

 

[SouthernSeasider]

Simms didn’t look great.

Poveda looked good when he came on for Leeds and Bowler looked decent, even getting a goal on his debut

 

[Chesterbfc]

It took Simms a few games to get up to speed with us ,but he will come good. If not could we put in a “cheeky” O,s bid of £250k in about a year,s time on our Championship return. Bring the lad back to his spiritual home.
