TRon Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Simpson's a very poor footballer, that's what we got him for 500K. Maybe you should tell Pardew that, seeing as we paid £5m for a full back who can't get a start for love or money at this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Now you're just being stupid and talking in the heat of the moment. Tavernier is a untested (in the top flight) youngster and really isn't the answer. Agreed, it's all very well that he's getting some first team experience on loan but it would be a mistake to throw him into the deep end straightaway. Tavernier struggled in pre-season imo so he's still some way from the first team really. Lets keep Simmo there then, he dosnt struggle at all! Let's play Harper there, because Simpson struggles LOL Aye, because playing a GK at RB is comparable to playing a RB at RB. Not with sicko's logic. If he's better than Simpson, play him there!

Sifu Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Lets not forget he does have one of the most clueless footballers ever infront of him, it must be an utter nightmare playing behind Obertan This is a good point although I think some players are just... s***. Had Barton in front of him last season and he was just as s***. I mentioned this before many pages back, I reckon Simpson really misses having Barton in front of him.

Colocho Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Not good enough to be playing for a side with top seven aspirations. The sooner we sign a quality LB, and play Santon in his natural position of RB, the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Why do we defend so bloody deep in the first place? No need for a man on the post to last ditch it if half the opposition are offside. Agree with thenige completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 It seems like we're only gonna "afford" to buy one player this window, so i doubt that we'll get the quality LB we want and move Santon to RB. With a tight and unambitious budget i would try and get rid of Simpson and use the cash to get Nathaniel Clyne in instead for about the same money. But i guess that wont happen anyway, just a wishful thought without spending from our original budget but still making our team stronger by replacing Simpson.

Minhosa Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Reckon we could get around £1.5mil for him from some daft club. Maybe QPR would take him... Doubt it, Luke Young is a far better player. McLeish always seemed to be linked to him when he was with Brum and he can hardly be impressed with the way Hutton's played this season so that might be an avenue worth exploring.

joeyt Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 If we did sign a first team centre back in January or the summer, would people be against putting STaylor at RB instead of Simpson next season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be averse to playing Dennis Taylor there the way Simpson has acquitted himself for most of this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 http://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/160912-tavernier/ Interesting. Sounds like he's more suited to the right wing though, hmmm (which could be a good thing considering our problems there with a certain Mr. Obertan). Mind you, this is League 1 football we're talking about so when Tavernier comes back from his loan spell, would he be ready for the step up to the PL?

Lush Vlad Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Just to add to the last 10-15 pages, this lad is terrible. If I trusted the board to actually get someone better in, I'd be happy to see the back of him. Fed up of watching him panic under the slightest bit of pressure, take 8 touches and then boot it to no one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Can't have that like, Raylor has actively contributed to winning us games/points with his goals and looked ok'ish for quite a few games. Add to the fact he's a right winger/right back playing on the left, he hasn't been poorer than Simpson in my eyes. Admittedly he has been tortured against half decent wingers, but I would still rather see him in the team over Simpson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
