I would like him to go out on loan like. Some first team experience will do him a lot of good. Though as it stands, we are short in defence so we might have to call upon his services at some point I guess.

Hmmm, that is a bit picky from Simpson like. The main thing in the end is being paid which will happen so can't see what the problem is

:lol:

I think Torres might have to go abroad to rediscover his form. Would be a massive change of scenery and that's what he needs tbh. I think that he's losing his desire for PL football.

Maybe a Carroll-Torres swap deal is on the cards?

From the Gazette.

Though the Swansea game may be too soon imo. Like I've said before, the WBA game is more realistic like.

I agree with Stu about Marveaux. I'm hopeful that Marveaux's latest injury will be the last of his injury problems. He has showed some glimpses of good football and he does have 5 years or so left. Won't write him off yet.

Yeah, they would be very fortunate to get that much. We have seen glimpses of Torres' quality at Chelsea. Of course, they're very rare glimpses but think he just needs to go to another club (possibly abroad) to try and revive his career. The price tag could have been a burden on him really.

Meh.

Note to forum: I have read this post three times. Still coming up as "new" for me.

Very plausible actually...... Though don't think Simpson will want to play in the Championship again.

Perch? Obertan? Gosling? Campbell/Ireland/Kuqi? Marveaux? (too soon?) Much too soon like.

Can't say I paid much attention to his performances last season (well I paid attention to West Ham's shitness) or this season but the general consensus seems to be he's s*** so I'll just go along with that.....

Tut tut Emre.

First time I've heard this

0:24 - 0:39

More than likely. It has been reported that Simpson isn't receiving a wage which reflects his status in the team (starter/first choice RB) so guess he's still persisting. I'd hope a compromise can be sorted out though.

Oh I agree with that. Balotelli has certainly added an extra dimension to the PL via his antics on and off the pitch.

FYP

While he has undoubted talent, I would hate him if he was our player - there would be too much unwanted attention. Much prefer his antics while he's at another club.

There's no cure to it and it can kill. But, if managed well, he could lead a normal life for many years. Every case is different really. It is possible that he may have to have part/all of his bowel removed. That's pretty bad

The only thing we know is that he wasn't included in the matchday 18 when we had our three first choice central defenders and he was the only player with competitive experience at CB left on the books. We also know that he's not been involved with the first team squad for most of the season. He was only given a squad number recently (when Colo may not have made it at OT). Whatever the reason is, he needs to sort it out and get himself involved - this is exactly the opportunity he should be seizing to show how good he is/isn't. If he's not fit, he needs to get there. If he's not got the right attitude, he needs to sharpen up. If he's not been following directions from the coaching staff, he needs to listen and take heed. Kadar is the only one who can do this - I struggle to believe that we'd allow a promising youngster to waste away if he'd been doing the right things and performing well in training. If he's not up to the mark, why should we extend his contract? Agreed. It is entirely down to Kadar to step it up and show what he can do and ultimately prove to Pardew why he should be in the first team squad. If he does leave at the end of the season, it would be an absolute shame considering his early promise.
