Danny Simpson (now retired)


Recommended Posts

He's shown that he's a Premier League player, imho. The market's calming down in terms of fees, but is he really worth less than half of Cameron Jerome or Bobby Zamora, less than one-tenth of Darren Bent, for example? No way.

£4-5M when he's only got 12 months to run? Would be amazed.

 

I know its a totally different scenario for both cases because they are better but Nasri went for 25m with 12 months running and Cahill went for 7m with 6 months to run......

 

I dont think having 12 months to run effects the price a great deal anymore ( atleast when it comes to english-based players)

 

I know none of us rate him that highly and it could be argued for good reason but the hype he gets in the media could make a club like QPR ( if they stay up), West Ham ( if they come up), Villa, Stoke and maybe West Brom i could see paying that sort of money for Simpson.

As a rule of thumb 12months left on a contract should be half the transfer fee. Unless Man City are involved, they make up their own rules.

Can see him going to QPR if they stay up, were heavily linked with him in January iirc and they always offer daft wages.

Which teams would want him?

 

One of the promoted or lower half teams?

 

Probably will be QPR, seemed to be close to Barton, and like Ryan says, they were interested in him in Jan.

Don't be so hard on him, he puts in a lot of graft and I think he like Williamson, Perch or Best would probably start at a lot of clubs below us on the table.

My preference would be to keep him in the squad TBH, but it will depend on whether he's willing to accept competition.

 

Logically he should, we'll be playing more games in general and there's no guarantee his replacement will be good anyway. Like Santon, they might need a period in and out of the team to acclimatise.

 

I can't see the club actively trying to peddle him, but they might not offer what he thinks he needs to stay.

Greedy cunt, fuck off. You're really not that good.

 

Unnecessary abuse.

 

It's the most important contract of his career, if he thinks he can get a better offer elsewhere so be it. He'll move on, he's given us decent service.

 

That's modern football, whether we like it or not.

Debuchy or move Santon over pls

 

What about the young lad at palace who is on a free this summer and highly rated.  Can't remember his name but remember being linked with him previously and seems the type of deal we would look to go after. Young, cheap and potential profit!

Warranted imo, he isn't really good enough to be demanding more than 25k per week.
