I've said Simpson, purely because I thought he was a Championship level player at the end of last season, and now he is a solid PL RB.

 

I already new Barton was class, and he was class, for the first half of this season.  Been pretty pants last couple of games though.

I think he's a very average full-back, who doesn't really contribute anything while in possession, and backs off his man far too much.

 

Although we have higher priority positions to look at in the summer, if there's a better option available than Simpson, then it's something we shouldn't dismiss.

Couldn't have put it better  :snod:

Absolutely no way we will replace Simpson in the summer, we would just be wasting money that would be better spent elsewhere.

 

Hmm, I don't think it would take much money to get a better replacement for simpson, as I think his performances have been over-hyped.

Agree with Tooj, he backs off defenders far too much, not pulled for it on here (unlike when Steven Taylor does it).

I'd say Simpson because for me he's consistently played at a level above what I expected from him. Barton's improved but he's only really reached a level we all expected from him in the first place. If Best had played a full season he would've probably snatched it but, he's played too little for me.

 

Spot on IMO.

If it was most improved over the last two years, Colo and Jose would be out on their own.

 

I'm struggling a bit for this season. Barton is only back to the level that we'd expect. Simpson has improved but I'm still not convinced by him.

 

I was hoping one of the younger players would come in and show some progress. Ranger has marked time, and the only one who I can really see has developed is Shane Ferguson.

No longer plays for us.

 

Aye. If you include the whole season, it has to be the one who left. Issues aside, no one can predict such a phenomenal improvement in just a summer.

 

Current players-wise it's probably Simpson although he still has much to improve. We already know Barton could do so it is more of him fulfilling his past talent more than anything.

 

He's only got good again since he went to QPR.

Simpson for me, he has improved as a player. Though I agree that Barton has massively improved his game this season  for us, as a player though he has been better in his career. Nolan has found his peak again and proved me totally wrong. I really didn't think he would be effective in the Premiership.
