Simms 08:41 - Jul 27 with 3813 viewsCarpyBlue

I think Gamechanger have done relatively well this summer but for me it’s clear we need another striker - why not Simms?

I know he’s only just moved to Coventry but we’re loaded now, aren’t we? Surely a big bid could tempt them into selling up, maybe something like £6m. Then they’d make a quick profit on their original £5m fee.

I’m sure McKenna knows that Simms would be perfect for our style of play and I really wouldn’t rule it out. Has something like that ever happened before?

If we wanted to bid 6m (your number, I'm not sure what the real one is) , we would have done so with Everton before they sold him. He's a Coventry player, we will have moved on to other targets.

We were 'loaded' under Marcus Evans too, and at the start he splashed the cash. When he realised that there we were no closer to a ROI, the rot started to set in.

Simms would likely have been a coup but this group seems to exercise fiscal responsibility because they are expecting a return on investment by the end on their ownership.

No one should be expecting promotion this season, hoping for it? Sure. When the time comes to spend in the Championship I would prefer it happening in a methodical way rather than the ill-conceived Derby County method.

I predict the plan this season is to consolidate and build a plan for a firm promotion push next season. To do that we need to know what level the team we have can perform at in the Championship. Bringing in someone like Simms on a costly punt could have created an imbalance to the team in terms of quality, for example.

In short, I think that this season will be a season of leaning and discovery for GC20, expect bigger things next summer if we don't go up.

I like him.

If he’s trolling it’s pretty original.

I also spat a little bit of my coffee out at the thought of putting a cheeky bid in for Simms now.

I think you could be onto something here, maybe once we sign him we could sell him on for even more profit! This is fool proof.

Back in 80’s Clive Allen signed for Arsenal, played in pre-season games but they swapped him for Kenny Sampson before the season started.

Think C live Allen ended up playing a competitive game for almost every London club except Arsenal.

wasnt that some weird prearranged deal to get Kenny Sampson a lot of money to him with some trouble he'd got into with the sort of people who turned up a Playford Road looking for Michael Chopra?
