Parsley Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 No chance Simpson will go to QPR. His stock's definitely risen since coming here, could easily feature for most midtable sides imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Don't like it either tbh. I'm not keen on legends having their shirt numbers retired either. Only time I think it's okay is when it's a posthumous gesture if a player passes away while playing for a club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 @milesstarforth Miles Starforth Simpson's #nufc contract talks date back to early summer. No progress, but understand he's happy at club & hopeful will be resolved in time ^Starforth's tweet from earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dogbeak Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 the number twelve is going to be on the squad list next to the name "sports direct". you heard it here first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyAnth Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I think that Simpson relishes playing for the club, and will be popular amongst the players. Whilst not a Nolan esque leader, or the best RB we could probably aquire, it would be wrong to replace him(or sell him and not replace him!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexthegreat Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I suppose he could possibly one day make the squad - the England side is fucking dreadful and theres not that many right backs around that I can think of. I hope not though as England really will be fucked if Simpsons lining up for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 There is a reason there was talk about him getting called up last year, you hit it on the head. The competition for the English RB spot is weak as piss. He has every chance if he hits another purple patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
