Cov look to be signing Simms now should be done by the weekend according to sky sports hopefully thats Yates staying
Front two of Simms and Yates makes sense, and they can well afford it, sadly.Also Coventry still a threat as they can sell Big G for £20m and buy Simms and Yates who have played well together in the past for £12m
Agreed, worryinglyFront two of Simms and Yates makes sense, and they can well afford it, sadly.
Have Blackburn got the money to be spending £4m? If they had cashed in on Brereton Diaz then it's a different story.. I think he's just signed for Villarreal on a freeHe did sign a new contract as we entered the Championship so compared to some of our players, the jump in wages might not be so dramatic (unless it was one of the top players like ‘Boro or Sunderland)
I’d say a club like T’Rovers would be a threat as he can stay where he is living, wages will improve marginally but with extended contract time and unlikely to be in a relegation fight.
You can argue it all you want. Unless someone is willing to pay it, it’s a moot point.I’ve always thought 4-5m for Yates was fair however if Simms is going for 8m could you not argue Yates is worth similar? He’s more experienced at this level.
I know Simms is 4 years younger and has massive potential but Yates isn’t exactly an older timer at 26.
Yes but we don't WANT to sell Yates. He's not being offered around. If clubs bid £1-1.5m then he shouldn't be going anywhere.You can argue it all you want. Unless someone is willing to pay it, it’s a moot point.
If you were a Championship level DoF would you want to make the argument for spending £8mn on Jerry, especially when you can sign players from anywhere on the planet outside the rules now?
Blackburn have no money and have to sell before they can buy.
The only potential buyers are the relegated teams, Ipswich and Cov (assuming they seek Gyokeres)
Might be a few more takers at £1mn to £1.5mn
I'd imagine that the "£8m" for Simms would include a substantial amount of add-ons that may never be paid, whereas Yates is likely to be closer to a pure cash deal.I’ve always thought 4-5m for Yates was fair however if Simms is going for 8m could you not argue Yates is worth similar?

Was it not 15? In a shit team that created next to nothingI just dont think anyone is going to come in with a 4-6 mil for him which is what we know his worth.
His lack of goals last season might put a few off.
Yes it was apologies thought it was lessWas it not 15? In a shit team that created next to nothing
Maddison is already gone. 5M plus add ons. I can't see why we always have the piss taken out of other and other clubs sell their best players for 6/7/8M+?Leicester are going to have more to burn when Maddison & Harvey Barnes are sold. They will need to beef up their forward line because it's possible Vardy will also leave. 5M for Jerry is a fair price for a Championship quality striker who is also a team player.
Because we allow it.Maddison is already gone. 5M plus add ons. I can't see why we always have the piss taken out of other and other clubs sell their best players for 6/7/8M+?
Lack of goals!? 8th highest scorer in the division in a team that got relegatedI just dont think anyone is going to come in with a 4-6 mil for him which is what we know his worth.

In all seriousness we were all super proud and made up that Brett got his chance at a club in the top division for decent money and wages. I hope Yates gets a similar move and not a dross move to a team like T’RoverzSouthampton. Left field possibility. Ormerod money update.
£3.5m, rising to £5m depending on goals, then £8m if they get promoted. Good deal that.Cov have just announced Simms
Not even…. carrying a knock?Was beginning to think maybe Yates would stay given the initial speculation had died down, maybe wishful thinking. But him not playing tonight says to me he’s off, can’t think of any reason why he wouldn’t play.
Great business for them, which means they still have plenty of money left from the Gyokeres sale.£3.5m, rising to £5m depending on goals, then £8m if they get promoted. Good deal that.
Avoiding injury Simms will have a much better career than Yates IMO.I’ve always thought 4-5m for Yates was fair however if Simms is going for 8m could you not argue Yates is worth similar? He’s more experienced at this level.
I know Simms is 4 years younger and has massive potential but Yates isn’t exactly an older timer at 26.
Maybe he has to "cash in". What do you, or any of us, know?If we can keep Yates it will be like us signing a £4m-£5m player. But we all know Simon likes to cash in.
This is not true at all.Here we go again.
Just remember, it's the player and his agent who hold the cards in this scenario NOT the club.
Every player has a natural time to move on. Like Bowler.
You keep a player when he wants a move that will better his earnings and career .... and you'll never keep others coming.
Simple eh? Like some on here.
Seems too coincidental to me. Videos of him training 1 to 1 in the off season shows he’s been keeping fit. Of course it could be a fresh knock, but to me it smells much more like him avoiding an injury because of an impending move.Not even…. carrying a knock?
JesusHere we go again.

The player and agent have influence undoubtedly, but ultimately the club have a contract with Jerry until 2025, if Jerry wants to move it will only be if the club sanctions it.
Agreed that there is a right time to move on for every player and this very well may be the right time for Jerry, but if he doesn't get the move because Coventry haven't made the right offer then he stays and will play.
No player is going to look at us not allowing him to leave for pennies and think twice about signing for us in the future.
Bowler was out of contract at the end of the season. Jerry is under contract for longerHere we go again.

A gentleman's agreement to sell if we were not in the promotion picture in Jan and the offer was over X million would suit both parties.
So maybe not so simple
V good deal£3.5m, rising to £5m depending on goals, then £8m if they get promoted. Good deal that.
If I were Jerry (and being his age) and heard the names of team sniffing round ..... I'd feel this is the right time for a move.
We can't have any complaints, he's put a. good shift in for the Pool.
Unfortunately contracts are not worth the paper they're written on in football.
