Danny Simpson (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Hopefully made his last appearance in a black and white shirt. Nice lad and all that, but quite simply not good enough.

 

:thup:

 

Perch has to stay there for the City game on Sunday.

We'd be mad not to cash in on him whilst half the country still thinks he's a quality fullback and possible England material. There's probably quite a few right backs in France we could nab for half the wages Simpson wants and half the fee Simpson would bring in, ones that can actually defend competently and look decent going forward. Beye for example cost £2m...

Hoping tonight's omission wasn't a psychological ploy on Pards' part, effectively handing Simpson a game's rest to mentally regroup in the wake of the flogging he suffered at the hands of Wigan.

 

RB, until the end of the season, is Perch's position to lose now.

Perch looking like he might end up being a good utility man should spell the end of Simpson.

 

We'd probably get a tidy little sum for him. Decide what side you want Santon to play, buy a RB or LB to start on the other side and let Simpson go.

 

Yes, we need a squad but there should be plenty of squad players that we can bring in who'll be better than Simpson and who'll cost less than what we should be able to sell him for.

 

We'd be two points ahead of Arsenal if the stupid cunt could take a throw as well.

Painfully frustrating how much better we were last night without him. Frustrating in the sense that we've had a much better option all season than him but refused to use him.

 

Pardew's just been saving him to get him hungry. He's the defense's Ben Arfa.

I would be surprised if he doesn't start on Sunday myself. Started every game up until now, why the sudden change of heart? He was just being rested.

He was injured. I'd be surprised if Pardew alters the team at all after that performance.

Perch can consider himself very unlucky if he gets dropped on Sunday, particularly after the way Simpson performed at Wigan on Saturday. Simpson should really have played his last game for the club now - bit of a shame for him that he has potentially signed off on such a bad note. Would be surprised if he is still here come August. I am not a fan of his at all, but it is obvious that he has, for the majority of the time, performed as you would expect from an average PL right back. If he leaves I will say thank-you and good luck - his reputation will probably earn him a decent contract at a middle/lower-middle PL club so I won't feel too sorry for him.

By the sound of things it was a more touch&go injury, as to whether Simpson would make the squad for the Chelsea game. It wasn't listed as a definite 1-2 week ankle strain etc was it? Seemed to be the perfect opportunity for Pards to play the injury card (for a minor knock, and in-form players battle through minor niggles, especially at the back-end of the season if the stakes are high enough), and go for a man-management orientated omission. The lad needed a chance to mentally regroup after Wigan, but in light of Perch's display there's a timely & fortunate selection dilemma now.

Wouldn't mind keeping him as a squad player, but if these rumours about leaving in the summer are true, i'm glad people within the club have finally realised he's not good enough.
