Always said Simpson was nothing special, the fact that his performances have gone by unnoticed most of the time is why many rated him as "OK", WBA have seen this and exploited it.
Aye, Khamel Ghilas, well dosent matter to be honest, dont think it does, Nabil El Zhar(Moroccan/Arabic) was in the same squad Yossi Benayoun(Israeli) at Liverpool, so I dont think many players care about outside matters.
