Miles better than any squad options we currently have. He walks in over Wright, McCausland and Matondo. I appreciate that Matondo usually plays LW, but still.

Not getting into whether or not we should sign him because it’s a pointless hypothetical debate that I have no interest in. However, we could do better than a 22yr old, international, with 11 goals and 2 assists in 24 games! You sure? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 35,258 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 We’ve been desperate for goals from wide positions for about 5 years. If we could get him for £5-6m I’d do it. Loyal72 and Amokachi 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need alot of players this summer and already have £3.5m called for. If the budget is big then Sima is a no-brainer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeRab 3,042 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I’m a fan of spending big on players you’ve had on loan before and are confident of their ability. Even if it’s a slight premium. Spending 5-6 million guys like Tillman and Sima is higher odds of success than gambling similar funds on Dessers, Danilo, Lammers, Davies. If we have about 15 million a year to spend on transfers And you get 3 young starting quality players for it. Then you’ve built a young quality team in 3 years with plenty of sell on value. And you supplement that with a bit of experience, youth, loans and tactical free/cheap transfers. Rather than spending the same money on 7 gambles and 3 work out. Especially if they’re an older profile and you can’t move them on easily. You end up with a bloated squad of average players with no sell on value Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamMunny 3,279 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 He would be on 20 plus goals right now if he didn't get injured. Let's hope we can make a deal happen. Would also like to try Cortez on the right if we extend his loan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGM_72 3,729 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Wonder if we might try to loan Cortes again next year, but with a purchase clause if he manages to play a certain amount of games. I liked what I saw of him, but would be reluctant to pay based on that small amount of games he played. Another loan, but with a more concrete option to buy might suit Lens but still protects us if he ends up injured again. BlueAvenger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direct, wasn’t afraid to take a shot and seemed to be able to control the ball well under pressure Shame he got injured because he was probably as excited as I’ve been by a new wide player for us in years Amokachi, Rangers_no1, RFC55 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxi 11,685 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Both Cortes and Sima next season would be brilliant and probably sort out our wings in a way they haven't gotten close to being sorted out since we came back up. Not only are they both good players in their own right but completely different to each other a good combo to have. Sima the direct, powerful goalscorer and Cortes the tricky creator, but who also has a goal in him. Shame it would cost about £11m in total. Wonder if there's any chance we can do loans for both again. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
