Village Idiot Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Neville didn't "retire early" at all, he was well past his expiry date. Rafael is too raw. Has potential but f***s up pretty often. Personally think good wingers will expose him badly, particularly in the CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Another good display the other day.. Even made two class class last ditch tackles. Danny is great! Long may it continue! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 How he's not near the England set up is beyond belief. Don't get me wrong, i thought Simpson had a brilliant game on Saturday but surely you need to be putting in a good string of those kinda performances to put yourself on the international stage. I know Kyle Walker has been put in the squad and im baffled by that one aswell. It was only against Spurs that it was him and Williamson's shocking defending that cost us 3 points. He's been a good cheap signing from Man Utd and is deffo worth more than the value we paid for him but to mention he's worth 10 times that amount is a bit extreme. All in all Simpson is a canny premier league right back who is establishing himself very well and if puts in those kind of performances against Arsenal on a regular basis then they would be no reason to why he shouldn't be called up for his chance to shine.

Personally think good wingers will expose him badly, particularly in the CL. You mean you can't wait to see Messi and Pedro destroy him, like they do pretty much every other fullback in the world?

Didn't necessarily mean "our" wingers, Ribery had him in his pocket last season and his frustration led to that idiotic sending off. Cronaldo would laugh all the way to Van Der Sar's goal too.

TRon Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Simpson has grown on me a lot. I still think he's a bit raw when going forward and doesn't have a great right foot like say, Ryan Taylor. But he has bags of heart, is a good defender and clearly takes a lot of pride in the shirt. No surprise that he was one of the leading players who took the battle to Arsenal in the second half.

magorific Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Fair play to Simpson - he has a big heart and, with Tiote and Barton, kept us afloat on Saturday. But he's got significant flaws, and the fact that people are discussing an England call-up says much more about the state of the game in this country than it does about him.

NG32 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 From what I watched on Football first, like Tron says the lad helped take the fight to Arsenal. I like him, still young and lots to learn but each week I see something i like about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think anyone thinks he's the new Ashley Cole, but he's had a good season and there are almost no good English RBs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Simpsons improving by the game. It would be a real shame for us to spend alot of money on a right back to displace him (even though i could understand why). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a real shame for us to spend alot of money on a right back to displace him (even though i could understand why). I don't think replacing Simpson is even on the cards now. The club has much too strict a spending policy and far too many weaker positions for that. Before this season I wouldn't have said that mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk77 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Beye's first season at RB was superb, far better than Carr and Barton. Simpson has improved drastically this year though, some minor improvements both ways and we have us a superb rb.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Of all of our 'Championship' signings, he's definitely looked best equipped and has the mentality for this league. Reckon a lot of this is down to his time at Man Utd growing up in that environment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
