Guest Stephen927 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 and there would be no surprise if Simpson goes on to be his country's number one in that position for years to come. No surprise, you sure? Kyle Walker looks streets ahead of him, anyway. Walker was in ahead of him despite only 1 appearance for Villa, so it's going to be an uphill battle for Simpson now. He needs to learn when to close and when to stand off, it'll come with time. Can see him in and around the England team in a few years time, Walker has an obvious advantage over him as he is that little bit quicker and offers a much better attacking threat.

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 You have all good arguments. But do you see him as our first choice rb next season? Imo, he's tot weak in attack. He needs to improve drastically in that respect. New poll? He's more than good enough for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 If we get a decent offer, sell him. Although he's been doing a great job in defense, he's way to weak in attack. It's worrying that Ferguson, who is completely inexperienced at this level, managed to create more in attack against Stoke. Ferguson was not afraid to challenge if his opponent had no safety, and he succeeded to. Simpson on the other hand hit a support pass when he met the slightest of resistance. A modern back must be good in attack too. That gives us more options. But I have no objections if he stays. His work ethic is good, and he's shown improvement in defense. But I do not see him as a first choice next season. He's a solid backup. I agree, sell all of our players. We dont need them. Shitheads, all of them, fuck them all.

He's worth more to us for his attitude alone than any money we might make on selling him for a supposed slight deficiency in attacking pedigree. The type of club who would buy him wouldn't pay the sort of money required to make us even contemplate it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 There are only so many Ashley Coles and Leighton Baineses in the world - most fullbacks aren't brilliant going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 There are only so many Ashley Coles and Leighton Baineses in the world - most fullbacks aren't brilliant going forward. One reason why it may be worth persisting with converting Ferguson if he's got any aptitude for the role, despite those saying he's more obviously a winger.

QBG Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Why is this even a discussion? Very much improved full back with a fantastic attitude and really seems to like the club and the city. Will be here for a good while if we stay in the PL hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 We really are going nowhere if the likes of Simpson are getting their heads turned. Enrique i can just about understand, though it is still a shame. We really, really shouldn't be selling anyone from the first 18. Injuries and the Carroll sale have decimated the momentum. We're a mid-table side in a shite run of form. There's so much to build on. I hope a poxy finish to the season doesn't leave the younger, more promising players thinking "there's no point in me being here". Forster, Simpson, New CB, Coloccini, Enrique, Barton, Nolan, Tiote, Ben Arfa, New CF, New CF has the crux of a fantastic side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk77 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'll always said that we should keep Simpson, unless we're offered silly money. He's a model professional and a good man to have in our squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Simpson is proving a more than competent full-back at this level. I like him. I wish he would do more in the final third though and when defending not to drop off his man so quickly and easily. He doesn't have to get tight but to simply concede and give way if you like is dangerous defensively. He's young though and has time to learn. Seems a canny lad too.
