Romey 1878 Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 I think he showed again that starting games is not how we should using him. Fosse Captain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodison Glory Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 A massive improvement vs Liverpool for me. He won a fair few headers when the ball came from the back or from Pickford. There was just no one around him to collect most of the time. His miss was bad. Got to hit the target.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And particularly not against one of the better teams in the league. I'm not sure the work ethic is there to be playing on his own either, but that can be worked on.

Shukes Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 His big weakness shows I’m when he starts a match, and that’s what I’ve always said…. Work rate.  But what i did see was his strength. And he does have a shot on him. He will miss a few, but I also think he may rip the net with a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to feel a bit for the lad that he’s only started matches against Chelsea, liverpool and United. Wouldn’t have an issue with him starting against Fulham & hopefully he ( and the team ) can show a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer him coming on when defenders are tired and his work rate won't be as much of an issue. We need the whole team to be doing the hard yards, that's why Gray wasn't starting games until recently. Also, Fulham will try to play it out from the back so having a forward player that will put pressure on them is vital.

Its just chalk and cheese between him & gray with what they offer. Gray's done a great job leading the line all things considering & I have no issue with him starting. I would just like to see Simms start a match where we are little bit more progressive with ball and bring him into the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would I but it's pretty precarious for us at the moment, and I don't want to rely on an if, but or maybe (). If we were safe then I'd be all for it but we're nowhere near that right now. Get the job done and then bring him on towards the end and he can have a go at finishing them off. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Romey 1878 Posted June 20, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Anything over £3m and it's a great deal for us. Get a sell-on clause in their too. Matt, Fosse Captain, Shukes and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fosse Captain Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 He may well have decent lower league career and score a few goals, but he's not the ticket for us. Could easily become a player who stays here for years and years and never breaks through. A la Broadhead/Pennington/Garbutt. Snap their hands off. Sell on would be good too Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodison Glory Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 What do you think is a fair price for him...£5M + add ons if promoted.  5M seems cheap but he's not achieved much and looking at last years market hardly any players were bought by championship clubs for more than 5M.

Even if he wasn't I think £5m would be a bit optimistic anyway tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, British players can command a bit of a premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 I think Romey got it perfectly. Around 3m and a bit on clause. I would be happy with that. If not, give him another three year contract and get him loaned out. Bringing him back off loan was always going to be a mistake and the club feel for fans romance.  In hindsight, it’s slowed down any progress he could have made.

StevO Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 For the English premium to clause to be activated the player has to be half decent. £3m it is then. Romey 1878 and Fosse Captain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
