AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It would be suicide to let Simpson go in January unless we have at least two defenders lined up to come in. And since we need a CB I doubt we'll be singing two fullbacks as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Seems strange that so many are apparently unfussed by this as for me it would be difficult to improve on him both as a player and a character, especially as a quality rotation/backup option. Had a rough start to the season but has for the most part been terrific and in this case don't see much need to for more upheaval and changes to a small squad that seem to enjoy working with each other. Surprised that they couldn't work something out as both sides seemed positive about the new contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm vaguely unfussed because I don't think club has done much wrong, offered him several contracts, he's refused and obviously wants to go. He has kept his place in the first team, what more does he want? More wages? We need to keep wage bill down if Ashley is going to cough up more money for new players. He's decent enough but not so amazing as to be a huge blow assuming we manage to replace him...and I have got some more faith in our ability to buy good players again. I also don't think he will go, he'll issue a come and get me plea in january, only stoke will come forward and he'll end up staying. I am shitting myself about Tiote and Krul however...

Mike Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Would love Simpson as cover. He's done well enough at RB this year, although the immediate comparison is Ryan Taylor so it's a bit difficult to look shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest michaelfoster Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 would rather keep Simpson as backup and flog Raylor tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'd keep R.Taylor as backup purely for his goals. Santon to RB, A.N Other to LB, with Taylor and someone like Ridgewell (a CB who can fill in at fullback) as backup. See ya Danny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Oh, and there's Fergie too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I've always had him down as a bit of a nugget. He doesn't offer enough to be demanding things, he should sign or go. He's easily replaceable IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Think Fergie will develop into a really good player. He's excellent on the ball, haven't seen enough of him on defensive duties but if he could go LB in a year's time and Santon to RB, we'd potentially be strong at full backs. We'll just have to see how Ferguson develops Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Danny is solid enough but ideally I'd like a fullback that can control a ball sometimes. In that sense, he won't be hard to replace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It's always going to be hard to keep this type of player for an improving team. He's good in the sense that he's English and will always give 100%, but as a player he wouldn't be good enough for a team chasing Europe. It's similar to Danny Guthrie, ideally you'd like to keep them as squad players but there will always be the mid table clubs like Villa and QPR with limited resources looking for exactly their sort: cheap and can do a job. Everton will probably come sniffing as well as they get more and more hard up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Good player, hope he signs, but he's replaceable, probably for less than what we will get for him. Agree with this, other than I don't think he'd command a great deal so I'm not sure about improving on him for less than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
