AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 danroan: Not quite Odemwingie, but am told Danny Simpson's move to Wigan was all but done last night - he'd packed bags, travelled to the DW... danroan: but then, at 22.45 Newcastle Utd upped their price, the deal collapsed, so he's had to return north, to sit out last 6 months of contract Why would we do that, considering we now have to pay him to be on bench for six months and get nothing for him Doesn't seem likely at all, and I didn't hear anything about it last night on any media. I think if we decide we will let someone go nowadays it will happen, I don't see any reason why we would suddenly up the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 What is up with raising the bid at the last second like that? Horrible. So now we get nothing for him, even though we're clearly not going to keep him. Silly behaviour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably just missed the contract and signed the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 For the £250,000 or so it'll cost in wages to keep him as cover it doesn't really matter. Seems a bit harsh on the player though but that's MA/DL for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 We seem to bargain hard, but I don't think we have a history of trying to fuck people over at the last minute. Not that anyone knows what goes on behind the scenes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Why would he have wanted to go to Wigan now? I would have thought Simpson would be happy to leave in the Summer as a free agent. He'll probably get a signing bonus and slightly more wages by not costing his next club a transfer fee. In the Summer he'll probably have more clubs to choose from and he'll know what division those clubs are playing in. I'm happy to have him as cover. He is also available to play in the Europa League games. Only one from Debuchy or Yanga-Mbiwa can be registered to play in the Europa League so we may need Simpson. http://www.nufc.com/2012-13html/toon-de-france.html Regarding Europa League participation for the new boys, UEFA rules state: 18.18 For all matches from the start of the round of 32, a club may register a maximum of three new eligible players for the remaining matches in the current competition. Such registration must be completed by 1 February 2013. 18.19 One player from the above quota of three who has been fielded in a UEFA club competition group stage match for another club in the current season may exceptionally be registered, provided that the player has not been fielded: a) in the same competition for another club; or b) for another club that is currently in the same competition. Debuchy is eligible as he only played in the CL for Lille, if registered as the "one player from the quota" Gouffran isn't eligible as he played for Bordeaux in the Europa League Haidara is eligible if registered by NUFC as one of the "three new eligible players" Sissoko is eligible if registered by NUFC as one of the "three new eligible players" Yanga-Mbiwa is eligible as he only played in the CL for Montpellier, if registered as the "one player from the quota" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Why are we angry at the club for NOT selling a player? Weird. Exactly, what ever you say about Simpson we have some canny depth at RB until the end of the season and we will probably need to use it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 What is Danny Simpson's incentive for going to Wigan? I can't imagine him being first choice or sharply increasing his wages. He is probably better off testing the open market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Just noticed he's blocked me on Twitter, had to go back through my timeline to find out why and seems he's got upset cos somebody tweeted something with him tagged in saying "Debuchy took a throw in today and it went to one of our players, imagine that", then I replied saying "Debuchy crossed the ball today and it didn't go in the stand, imagine that" The soft cunt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 He was in the footage of all the lads training at about 11.30am yesterday. Not sure any of that about him going all the way to wigan is true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he said why would I be following if I didnt care and blocked me. Was mainly following him hoping for an owen style twitter meltdown when he realises people dont like his attitude and definitaly dont think he is cool.

captainhaircut Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The money would have been next to nowt anyway. Maybe we changed our mind and didn't want to 'help' a relegation rival. Either way, I'm happy enough. Simpson gets pissed around and hopefully won't be able to get a club in the summer when teams are less desperate.
