The Fish 8956 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 The only thing I'd say about Simpson, if he's happy to be 2nd choice he's a decent fallback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 The only thing I'd say about Simpson, if he's happy to be 2nd choice he's a decent fallback. No chance he'll be happy with that, especially with his contract expiring. He thinks that he is far better than he is when we all know he's a lower level Premier League full-back at best. What sums him up for me is when on Saturday he had a go at Tiote for playing him an inch perfect pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Guess Simpson will go and Ryan Taylor will be seen as right back cover....once fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Not sure what Simpson is on but I'm sure it's not much comparatively speaking. Unlike Ba, he's probably someone that needs to put earnings ahead of football because he's not going to earn the big bucks of top strikers...or reasonable defenders. If we've offered £25k a week it's about his worth in reality, but (and i know it sounds fucking daft), it's only a million a year. After tax it's £600k...and the lad isn't going to be in demand as a pundit or owt after he retires. He's 25 and no-one can see him getting much better in the next 5 to 8 years. From his perspective he needs to secure his comfortbale lifestyle for the 50 years after he stops playing. If Stoke or Fulham could get him for free and double what we're willing to pay him, that's huge for a below average premier league defender like him. Especially with the CSA on his arse. It'll be obscurity, but a more comfortable obscurity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't see him going to Fulham at all, especially after the space Jol allowed him to have when we played them. Jol knows a good footballer when he sees one and Simpson won't fit into that.

According to his ex he's on roughly £20k pw but hasn't stashed much of it for a rainy day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jol knows a good footballer when he sees one and Simpson won't fit into that. Just meant a midtable club with little ambition beyond stability, normally I'd have said Villa. @HappyFace, you're right of course, but I'd say you're crediting him with a greater amount of forethought than he possesses. He's an average Premier League right back, who's not that bright and not that charismatic. If I were him I'd snap up a long term deal on £25k a week and work hard at building a property portfolio. He'll try and get as much as he can as soon as he can and soon find himself on the heap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 2929 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Truth is Wilson is Championship level and he knows it. Was there not rumours that he hadn't actually been offered a contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWalrus 0 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 That's what annoys me about Santon sometimes - he's happy to get forward but how many times do you see him casually walking back? That's the modern game - all about managing lactic acid. If he busts a gut to get back, he then needs another minute to recover. All top level players are specifically instructed to do exactly the same. The idea is that a midfielder will cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Simpson won't get a better salary elsewhere. He might get a signing on fee. He's one of the thickest footballers I have ever come across and I won't shed a tear when he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13820 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Sunday, Monday.... Habib Beye. For the record I don't think Beye wanted to leave. Always seemed a sound, hard working character to me. Great player for us in his short spell & probably one of the best right backs I can remember us having. Can you believe Simpson has played over 100 games for us by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's far from this simple, but Jonas gets injured and we concede 11 goals in 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
