Popular Post MikeO 12,992 Posted December 11, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Can't find a thread on him but this seventeen year old lad we got from City last year is banging them in for the under 18's, 18 in ten games so far! A goal every 48 mins. Ably supported by Kieran Phillips (12 in 11) and the team not too shabby either by the look of it.

Cornish Steve 3,028 Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 You can see from this (admittedly lopsided) game, he's a natural centre forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DownUnderToff 122 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Found this goal compilation, definitely looks a natural scorer. Looks like he'll be a big, powerful, lad as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Makis 507 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 His size also sets some question marks on him. It will be interesting to see how he does in the U23s when his opponents are physically a better match. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't seem like just a man child, get more of that impression from Hornsby and his game style (but impressed/hopeful with him also). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DownUnderToff 122 Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Usually in fan of loaning them out to get regular game time, but this makes sense. U23's should still be a step up, given he spent most of last season with the u18's. Hopefully some game time in the firsts as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aidan 2,228 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Scored tonight in a 4-1 defeat to Derby. Apparently a run from just inside the Derby half topped off with a finish. 4 goals in 6 games for him whilst in the U23 squad. Looking like a promising player. Him and Gordon are looking like they want to push that first team! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SpartyBlue 321 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 So where does Simms fit into our striker decisions? Clearly he’s gonna need a step up for next season at the latest. If we think he’s gonna be a first teamer in the next year or two does that effect what we do in the next couple windows? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’d say we have absolutely zero idea if he’s going to be a first teaser at this point. He’s not made his debut for us, he’s not played any first team football anywhere, so he shouldn’t even be coming into our thinking in regards to bringing someone in now. He needs a loan move and then we go from there with him. Bailey, Zoo 2.0 and markjazzbassist 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markjazzbassist 3,177 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 romey nailed it, send him on loan first to see if he's got it in league 1 or something. move up to championship next, then we can have a go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zoo 2.0 982 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 The Bundesliga has been a fantastic loan pool for young players, hypothetically speaking it would be great if we could send Ellis over there so that he could have competition against some strong teams (Bayern, BVB and Leipzig) then it would work very much in his favour. The lower league pyramid is always a shout, but I think going to a new country can really improve the person, not just the player (just look at Sancho).

SpartyBlue 321 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 I know it’s been mentioned previously that while he’s a natural finisher he lacks a bit in the other skills necessary to be a well rounded striker. Perhaps the thought is to keep him here where we can really work on his development instead of sending him on loan where they won’t care as much about that. My vote is probably to do that and keep him here for the remainder, have the coaches really hammer home some of those DCL qualities then send him out next year and see what he’s got against better competition.

Kenny was a nothing before he went to Schalke. After that loan they wanted to buy him, previous to it he had no such interest. so had we cashed in it would have benefitted us (still might).

It does if you talk about value but not if you talk about development. Has Kenny come back and shown more than he did when he left? Not really. FWIW I am not disagreeing with Zoo, I think it must be a huge step in a young players personal development and I am sure Kenny has grown as a man as a result and I think more players would benefit from taking that risk. It just hasn't really helped the one player we have sent that way to become a better footballer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RuffRob 508 Posted Wednesday at 12:30 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 12:30 should be a good move for the lad. Hopefully get plenty of game time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shukes 4,463 Posted Wednesday at 19:14 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 19:14 He needs this badly. Watched him last night in the mini derby. At times he looks strong and a nuisance, but lacks that composure when gets chances at the moment. Should have scored two at least. Seemed to have worked on his work rate a bit though, did well fighting for the ball up top, but still holds the ball like a school fence at the moment. Cant wait to see how he does at senior level, this could really make him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
