MW Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Perch looked a much better right back on Sunday. Him along with Tavernier I'd be happy with as back up to santon/new rb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Cheers for the three yeas, Simmo. Good luck wherever you go. Fucking Chelsea expect him to hit somewhere like Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 http://aggbot.com/Newcastle-United-News/article/16814757 Simpson would have more than doubled his wages if he had signed the £25,000-a-week deal and his refusal has angered the Newcastle United hierarchy. The former Manchester United trainee, who has one year left on his contract, has made 40 appearances for Newcastle this season, but negotiations have stalled since the turn of the year. Joining him on the Newcastle departure list are striker Leon Best and midfielder Danny Guthrie who are both expected to sign to Aston Villa. Villa owner Randy Lerner has stressed to Alex McLeish he must get value for money and Guthrie will be available on a Bosman free transfer, while Best will be allowed to leave for around £1.5m. Guthrie, who was signed from Liverpool for £1m four years ago, has been a key player in Newcastle’s excellent season, but he is frustrated at only being considered back up to first choice centre-midfield pairing Cheick Tiote and Yohan Cabaye. Best has also done reasonably well on Tyneside, despite initially struggling for goals and form when he moved from Coventry City to join the Magpies Championship promotion charge in January 2010. The Republic of Ireland international scored six goals in 12 games following the sale of Andy Carroll to Liverpool last year, but has scored just once since September and has been replaced by £10m arrival Papiss Demba Cissé.

Mag-ic Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 £1.5m for Best would be a disgrace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Yeah. That's about what we paid for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagten Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 £1.5m for Best would be a disgrace Really? Think 2.5 max. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag-ic Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 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.

Ketsbaia Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 £2.5 - 3m, surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 £2.5 - 3m, surely. That's about what iam thinking and about 4-5m for Simpson purely because of the hype behind him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 £4-5M when he's only got 12 months to run? Would be amazed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyCisse Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Which teams would want him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 £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.

Guest je85 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 He'll easily get 25k a week at another club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Can see him going to QPR if they stay up, were heavily linked with him in January iirc and they always offer daft wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WashyGeordie Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I think he'll go for around 3.5 mill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 YES!!! Hopefully the club won´t lets us down with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThievingMagpie Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCONA Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Slightly frustrated he's being so greedy. But then again he is a nugget. Probably been talked into it by his agent. 25k a week ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
