Anderson Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 It's a bit unfair on Simpson to call him gash like. I mean he's been up against some of the most talented footballers of this generation. Stephen Carr, James Perch, Ryan Taylor... ...Steven Taylor, Peter Ramage, David Edgar, Nolberto Solano... Nobby was areet at RB to be fair, doesn't belong in the same group as Edgar and Ramage.

Mr Logic Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I'd still be tempted to play Stevie Taylor as RB, if only for the fact they all have their faults but at least Saylor can pop up with goals from corners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 After the Everton match i'd much sooner be castrated than play Saylor at RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 One game? They're all prone to mistakes and if you foucus on them you would end up not picking any of them. How many footballers don't drop a bollock from time to time? Saylor had 29 starts for the U21's scoring 4 goals. He's also scored a considerable amount of goals for us considering his position. I don't know how thick he is but each year he grows older one would hope he grows a bit wiser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theregulars Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 He's fine. It doesn't worry me when he's in our team, he's flawed, but I wouldn't look to be shipping him. If we bought someone else, however, i would trust judging by our recent standard of acquisitions that they'd be at least as good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I'd love to see Jonas at rb, if glen Johnson can play for England on the basis of his attacking prowess then why can't jonas?! I know this will get slated (and perhaps rightly so) but its just an inane curiosity I have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this will get slated (and perhaps rightly so) but its just an inane curiosity I have. Jonas' contribution was minimal during the World Cup last year, so definitely wouldn't want to see him at RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 We certainly need to peddle Perch, and possibly also Ryan Taylor. Simpson shouldn't be off anywhere, but he needs some actual good competition for his place. Ryan Taylor is ahead of Perch for me purely for his ability to take set pieces (which fluctuates from excellent to turd) and also the fact he can fill in a lot of positions, although not particularly well.

fredbob Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 You watched the world cup games where he was played there? I did, yes and like I say I know its open to criticism because of staggering number of good reasons but I just have this inkling that he might be decent. He just has certain qualities which makes me think he could do a job. Glen Johnson is genuinely one of the worse defensive fullbacks I've seen for a long time, but he's also one of the better attacking full backs, I think going forward from a deep position with all the space full backs are afforded, Jonas could become a major asset for us. As I say, inane curiosity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(caveat IMO) Come out of this better than I thought I would to be honest. Offensive I actually think he'd be great but his grit and determination makes me believe that hed be a difficult defender to beat. Besides he can be taught defensive work. I'll go back into my hole now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
