Danny Simpson (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Shame if we can't convince him to stay as a squad member, he has been solid this season when called upon, just isn't up to being a regular starter. He'd make a good acquisition to most sides in the premiership.

Will he now start on Sunday so we (you) can say goodbye? Would everyone actually cheer him off? Anyone who helped drag us out of the championship deserves it in my opinion.

 

Aye he deserves a good send off. Never really had a problem with him as a person and he usually tries his best. Unfortunately he's very limited as a footballer and comes across a bit dense.

Wasn't really brain science that he would play better when he had true competition at right back. A winding down contract wouldnt have hurt either. That said the clubs reluctance to offer anything easily could have caused the opposite reaction, he deserves credit for being professional. I am happy to have him stay in the squad.

 

We saw the same in the past with our fullbacks if they don't have competition they get complacent.

It's a shame he's going really.  I wouldn't mind so much if we had a talented young right back coming through but we don't really seem to.

 

We should have got Clyne last summer. idiotic.

 

We went in for him, he rejected us as he wanted more game time.

Nah, f*** this 'Sad to see him go' 'Thanks for the effort Danny'

 

I'd be more willing if he weren't such a cock. He doesnt care about anyone but Danny Simpson. The fact that he's tweeting photos of his empty locker at NUFC etc just goes to show what a self-interested c*** he is.

 

Good riddance.

Disapointing that we aren't offering him a new contract as i think he's a decent defender who holds his position and defends, and doesn't try anything fancy.

 

He's not a right winger or a midfield player so i don't understand why people expect him to be. He's an honest pro and as a defender only i don't really see Debuchy as being a big upgrade.

 

We offered him one.

This type of thinking needs to be left in the past, fullbacks need to be able to maintain possession and attack for the reasons Rich mentioned.

 

Simpson can do neither and in a backwards sort of way Haidara is his replacement as Santon can play both sides.

Exactly. Nowadays if you want to be a top team you also have to have full-backs that can go forward too as they now provide a lot of natural width to teams.

Most footballers are cocks man.  He did alright for us but is ultimately limited as a footballer.  Been professional about everything and never gave less than 100%.  He's like Best, goes with my thanks and best wishes.

Would be happy to see him stay as back-up if he lowered his demands. Can be solid defensively, useless going forward mind. It's all about competition for places. If he thinks he's better than what he is, then fair play, I hope he goes out and gets what he thinks he is worth.

So he's going? Fair enough, thanks Danny for your service here.

 

No tears will be shed like, Simpson's place in the squad can be very much be filled quite easily.

He's decent as backup, but I'd not want him in the first team long-term.

 

No problem if he stays or goes tbh. He's done a job, hasn't cost much, could continue to do a job or could be replaced easily enough.
