midds Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Who are we realistically gonna buy next season that will improve the RB spot though? I'd be very surprised if we buy a RB now we have Simpson permanently. I agree. We've given him a long term contract for a reason. Aye, because he was cheap. Quite possibly, but at the end of the day because we want to use him as first choice RB for the next 3.5 years. Read that and physically shuddered.

ponsaelius Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I made the earlier post about who we could get to improve the right back spot simply because I don't think we could - good full backs are hard to come by and it would cost a good few million to upgrade on Simpson, which just isn't gonna happen. He's certainly seen as our long-term RB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side he's not Boumsong-bad... he's young and there's a chance we can work on his weaknesses (i.e. jumping in when he shouldn't and backing off when he shouldn't). I haven't given up on him completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't given up on him completely. The fact he's young is the biggest positive, he'll never get the coaching to iron out them aspects of his game while he's at this club though.

midds Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Simpson is absolutely average. He's competent at this level but would struggle most weeks next if we go up imo. I'd be looking at buying another CH and playing Taylor at RB. Simpson, purely as cover, would be adequate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 What people have to remember is though, is that Simpson has had fuck all in front of him since he's been here. Only now in Routledge has he had any one in front of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only now in Routledge has he had any one in front of him. and he seems to have gotten forward a little (not massively but a little) more since he has been here imo.

Fatwax Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I think merson was more or less right with his comments on the squad. Not too sure about AC like, but he's definitely showing some potential at the moment, that can't be denied. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyP Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 must say, it was heartwarming hearing him talk about being here for years...nice little touch really also glad to see them confirm my quote of "Messi, Mascherano, Jonas + 8" as i tell me mates that all the time and they never beleive me!
