Vinny Green Balls Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Simpson is pretty clearly the victim of confirmation bias in that people only watch for the mistakes he makes. And then those mistakes are magnified because of their opinion of him. Rarely does he get credit for the positive things he does (which he does do). He is poor. Its the lack of pace and absolute zero recovery when beaten by his man. You are right about him doing good things. Hitler did good stuff to, gets rather overlooked somewhat though. That analogy is a combination of and Mind-numbingly awful. Good comparison imo. Simpson will never be Time Magazine's man of the year. nor is he worth making a thousand narrratives and docs about.

Tiresias Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 No idea why so much study of nazism and ww2 still goes on, such an industry for academics on a subject that has been studied to death, what more could there possibly to learn? Sorry history grad here... and to relate it to simpson...erm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Simpson gets way too much stick on here than he should. I'd go as far as saying that Simpson is one of the better right full backs we've had in recent years, especially considering we've had the likes of Carr, Ramage and Edgar playing there, but what does make Simpson stand out, is that he blatantly isnt as good as a footballer as the rest of the team and is the weak link. Good full backs are a 'must' for what we're aiming for. They turn a good side into a top side. A quality right back who has the attacking quality Simpson lacks and the improvement of Santon would see us come on leaps and bounds as a side I reckon.

Darth Crooks Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Well whatever your feelings on the simpson/nazism debate is...if he is indeed the reincarnate of the despot austrian slug-balancer then that must mean that the counter force to his tyranny is of course... http://i46.tinypic.com/30xik20.jpg WINSTON PERCHILL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Whey, we'll have to agree to disagree. Perch right now is playing brilliantly, and he looks to have improved a lot, but I'm still not sure he's really a better fullback than Simpson. Like I say, it's marginal rather than clear. Perch is much more comfortable on the ball. He would fit in better than Simpson for what we are trying to do now. This is it, he's also better at defending.

ATB Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 He should come in and play games against teams like Atromitos. Not being rested in them so he can play against teams like Chelsea ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 From a lad who was there tonight according to his Twitter... @Thomas91nufc: Spoke to Simpson before the game. Wants to stay but no contract for him to sign. He says his last offer wasn't good enough. #NUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I still reckon he thinks he should be on a first-teamers wage when reality is he's only in that position by default. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing ventured nothing gained. Given all the daft moves you see why wouldn't he chance his luck given how much it works. He's probably on crass wages in light of the rest of the team and given how much he starts, if it was me, I'd want parity too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We've been (very publicly) trying to replace him for 3 months so any hope he has of first team wages should be long gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not more that he rejected a contract? Unfortunately, the contract he's probably after is the one which someone like Debuchy or whoever replaces him is going to get, he'll be considered a squad member soon (hopefully) so can see why we're not offering what he's expecting.

I assume the last deal was considered good enough. No idea what it was but if he is expecting the same as the likes of Cabaye, Tiote, Jonas, Ba etc.. then he is expecting too much.

Jack Flash Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Same as Barton. Club offer contract they think the player is worth and that's the final offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
