NG32 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Best season NUFC has had in a long time, doubles his wage and will be playing in europe but still wants to leave. Bye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 he should have been on more than 10k really. harsh considering how much he plays, probably less than half of what everyone else earns Oh, aye, you wonder how the poor little lamb gets by. Can't be easy scraping through on just £520k + bonuses a year, makes your heart bleed for him. I've never understood why people make these posts.

Gallowgate Toon Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 He'll regret this decision, don't think he'll ever have another shot of playing in European competition again, at any level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allmo Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 He shouldn't be hard to replace, average footballer at his very best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hes clearly got ideas above his station like. You think he'd have learned something from looking at Nolan, Barton, and Jose to a certain extent. The grass is most definitely not greener. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hopefully this refusal to sign is a negotiation rather than the end of the process. If he gets an extra 5k a week out of the club then fair play to him. He'll kick himself if he prices himself out like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Reading deeper into this, i think alot of this is down to making sure that the club don't back down to player demands. I think the club wants to be seen to being firm on contracts and wages, rewarding those whom they see as worthy of a new deal. I think Mike Ashley has been stung by his own decision to pay vast amounts to players who haven't performed, as well as those who he inherited. We were quite happy to give big juicy deals to Krul and Coloccini, perhaps they aren't rewarding Simpson in the same fashion because of recomendations by Pardew?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Well it's clear that Simpson won't be first choice for the long term, so it would make sense that he's a tier down from Colo and Krul et al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Don't care if he leaves but I won't slag him off. I know some have had issues with his attitude but lets be honest its a world away from some we've had in recent years... Everyone at the club should be replaced if we can get better (Colo, Krul etc. included), so don't have a big problem if he goes. Only slight worry I've got is our depth for next season, Tavernier still hasn't been offered a contract I don't think so I'm not sure what situation we'll be in regarding fullbacks, then again, I wouldn't want to bow down to stupid demands.

SteveMc Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I really hope he doesn't sign. We's surely then have ney chance of a top new full back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Sure the guy has been on our line this season to clear the ball away, the thing is though for every goal line clearance he's provided he's put us under unnecessary pressure at the back by not costing down, backing off, being a yard or 2 behind the attacker, not blocking the cross etc. If he thinks he's deserves more then fine, go somewhere else and find it. He's a good back up, nothing more than that. I'd prefer R.Taylor ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Some lad who was at the LMA Awards, spoke to Lambias who said Guthrie and Simpson are both off and Simpson will be replaced by 'a better player'.

Cajun Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Fact is Danny that you're not as good as the other players around you. Surely he can see this. Not that I agree with him but from his pov he is statistically the best right back in the league (or whatever that article says), plays a shit load of games and is the first choice for a team that has just finished 5th and were in the fight for 3rd right until the end of the season. Now between his own beliefs and what his agent is feeding him those 'on paper' facts probably lead him to believe he is worth more than £25k a week. These days that is probably a fairly average wage. Being linked to Chelsea probably doesn't help either, they were paying Sidwell around £50,000 a week weren't they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
