Has anyone at the club checked that the fax machine has any paper in it? 

 

I have to wonder since we appear to be bidding for players but never following up on them, or telling everyone how much we still want to sign players who have made it very clear they're not interested.  Are they just all sitting around a desk wonder why no one is replying to their offers and trying to ignore the annoying flashing light on the fax machine?

I really don't get the fuss about Simpson. Over the next two years, I'd honestly hope that we could replace him, not secure him on a more lucrative, long-term contract, which I assume is what he wants. He was okay for the job of getting us out of the Championship, but he's a limited player and now one of the weaker links. He's not the long-term solution to the Right Back problem as far as I'm concerned.

 

The logic that some people seem to be applying is that because Simpson won't sign, we won't be able to sign players who are better. Well, it's common knowledge that not all players at a club are on the same contract. We simply haven't offered Simpson what he thinks he's worth.

The fuss about Simpson should be really easy to understand tbh.  We already lack players in positions we've been looking for replacements for months. It's silly as f*** to think we'd suddenly manage to replace Simpson with a better player in this window. Simpson needs to stay.

We don't need to replace him in this window. He's got 2 years left on his contract.

It's more about context rather than Simpson's worth per se.  Having just lost our first choice LB people are keen on us not lsoing our first choice rb.  I'm not a huge Simpson fan but this stuff is a big worry.

Simpson is playing in the Premier League on a Championship wage. I think he's got every right to ask for his contract to be renegotiated.

Well of course he has. But if we feel that we can get a better player in - and we've got plenty of time to do that - why offer him a longer / bigger contract?

 

It really all boils down to how much you rate him as a player, and amidst all the wringing of hands I haven't noticed one post that says he's a good player who we need to keep.

Has that been the point made by anyone, though? Might have missed it, but most people seem to be worried that we could sell him and then

struggle to replace him with anyone better.

FWIW Danny Kelly (Talksport) was chatting earlier about our game tomorrow and mentioned Liambas had told Alan Brazil (close friends apparently) that we would be signing at least three players before the end of the transfer window.
